Comments

  1. Last year I got as far as doing the cover for my album – this year I plan to not only make the December Daily album but to also fill it with stuff (lol)! Great give-a-way!!

  3. I saw Ali’s and thought is was a great idea. So, I’d probably do that or Operation write Home cards

  4. I would use these for my Christmas cards I send out to 100 family and friends. I make my cards by hand every year but I’m stumped this year on what to do. These tags would eliminate that problem! Thanks for a chance to win!

  5. I started one last year but stopped at Day 6… probably because I hadn’t pre-set up all the pages properly… the kit would be ideal for me to prepare the album and complete it!!

  7. I’ve already been doing a digital scrapbooking photo-a-day project, so it would be great to combine it with this and have a great album at the end of the month.

  10. Love this album kit. I’m not sure if I would make an album from it, if not I would find a lot of ways to use all these elements on scrapbook pages and cards.

  11. I wanted to make one last year & time got away from me I would love to make a Dec album this year.

    Thanks for chance to win

  12. I would love to do this project! I read it about it last year, but just had too much going on! I hope I win! Thanks for the awesome giveaway…even if I don’t win!

  14. I have a Daily December countdown album already but thought these would be great for a travel album…journaling and then pics

  15. i don’t do a december daily album, but i do make 2-4 december scrapbook pages that go into our family album this kit would be perfect for!

  16. i would love to make a december daily album!!! and if i didnt make it i would use it in my scrap book or make cards with it. i love to be crafty with all things.

  20. Oh dear, I’ve started two December dailies and finised none… because I didn’t have the stuff picked up and organised. So third time lucky?

  21. I’ve never done a December daily, but this cutie kit makes me want to complete one. I am “working” (most of the work occurs in my mind-planning mode!- LOL!) on a 365 project and if I don’t get around to a dd I would definitly use it for the 31days in Dec. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  30. I’ve never seen one of these before. I checked out the ali edwards link and its great. would love a kit to make one of my own

  38. I DO plan to make a December daily album! We have many things cooking for December and I want to capture them all. I have been pre-planning for months.
    In addition to the holidays, we have a wedding, a move and a new baby, all planned for the first three weeks. Whew!

  43. I have never made a December daily album before, but think it would become a lovely tradition to start with my granddaughter. Although she is only five, she loves scrapping (especially when the pictures are of her!). This looks like a wonderful kit to help us get started.

  47. I may TRY, but I’m often running far behind. The journaling boxes could be used for all kins of scrapbooking and the more specific Christmas items could be used to decorate cards or gift bags (I love decorating gift bags!!) Thanks so much.

  48. These would be great for Christmas cards. I’ve been meaning to send out custom Christmas cards but I haven’t had the time. Now that I’m not working I’m going to make time for the stuff I want to do.

Printable Stickers for Journals and Planners – Self Care

There comes a point in life — usually somewhere between school drop-offs, aging parents, work deadlines, and wondering what’s for dinner again — where “self-care” stops being trendy and starts being necessary.

And no, I don’t mean booking a luxury spa weekend (although if that happens, I’m not saying no). I mean the quiet kind of self-care. The kind you pencil into the margins of your planner. The kind that says:

Early night.
 Drink water.
 Cancel plans.
 Rest.

For instant peel-and-stick results, use printable sticker paper. Just print, cut, and add directly to your journal or planner — no glue, no mess.

That’s exactly why I created these Self Care Printable Stickers for Journals and Planners — gentle reminders you can print at home, cut in one sitting, and keep tucked in a little envelope ready to add to your pages whenever life feels full.

These mini self-care journal stickers are perfect for A6 planners, Hobonichi Weeks, ring planners, bullet journals, and gratitude diaries.

What’s Included in the Self Care Sticker Sheets?

This printable series includes:

Gentle Reminder Word Stickers

Slim labels designed to tuck beside your handwriting:

  • Rest 
  • Breathe 
  • Slow Down 
  • Drink Water 
  • Early Night 
  • Me Time 
  • Digital Detox 
  • Reset 
  • Pause 
  • Gentle Day 
  • No Is Enough 

These are small, mini planner-friendly, and easy to add without overwhelming your layout.

Cozy Self Care Icons

Soft watercolor mini illustrations including:

  • Water bottles 
  • Meditation poses 
  • Bath tubs 
  • Candles 
  • Herbal tea mugs 
  • Cozy blankets 
  • Books 
  • Skincare bottles 
  • Plants 
  • Slippers 

They’re subtle, calm, and designed for women who love journaling but don’t want anything loud or “fitness bro” inspired. Just gentle, grown-up self-care.

Emotional Check-In Quotes

These are some of my favorites because they feel real:

  • You are worthy of rest 
  • It’s okay to recharge 
  • Boundaries are healthy 
  • Choose yourself 
  • Progress over perfection 
  • Give yourself grace 
  • Quiet Evening 
  • Cancelled Plans 

These pair beautifully with gratitude logs and weekly reflections.

How to Print Your Self Care Stickers

Printing these is simple and budget-friendly.

Step 1: Use good quality paper.
 For a sticker feel, use matte sticker paper. For journaling on a budget, plain white paper works perfectly.

Step 2: Set your printer to high quality.
 These are watercolor-style designs, so high print quality keeps the colors soft and crisp.

Step 3: Keep the background white.
 All sheets are designed with a pure white background so they print cleanly and don’t waste ink.

How to Cut and Store Your Mini Stickers

Here’s my favorite little routine:

  • Print the sheet 
  • Put the kettle on 
  • Sit down with scissors 
  • Cut everything in one go 

Each sticker has a clear dashed cut line, so they’re easy to trim neatly.

Then I pop them into:

  • A small zip pouch 
  • An envelope inside my planner 
  • Or a little tin in my craft drawer 

That way they’re ready when I’m planning my week.

How to Use Self Care Stickers in Your Planner

These stickers aren’t meant to fill every square. They’re meant to support your day.

Here are some easy ways to use them:

In Weekly Spreads

Add “Gentle Day” on a packed Thursday.
 Stick “Early Night” next to a long Wednesday.

In Gratitude Journals

Place a small candle or tea mug sticker next to an entry about quiet time.

In Mood Tracking Pages

Use “Low Energy” or “Reset” as visual markers.

In Daily Logs

Write your plans, then add:

  • A water bottle next to hydration goals 
  • A meditation icon beside morning routine 
  • A bath sticker on a Sunday 

Just a tiny visual cue makes it feel intentional.

Why Self Care Stickers Work So Well in Journaling

Because when it’s written down, it feels valid.

A sticker that says “You are allowed to say no” on a Tuesday when you cancel dinner plans? That’s not decoration. That’s reinforcement.

For many of us — especially in our 40s, 50s and beyond — self-care isn’t indulgence. It’s maintenance. It’s energy management. It’s protecting our peace.

And sometimes, it starts with something as small as a little watercolor sticker that says:
