Home Front Giveaway

Studio Calico, one of the kit clubs I featured recently, has released it’s first complete scrapbooking line called Home Front. Here’s a description of the line directly from Studio Calico

Imagine June Cleaver styled 1950s domestic bliss. Featuring optimistic colors and smooth vintage inspired patterns. You’ll find fresh stained wood grain, retro home décor, an exclusive SC cardstock alpha set, and much more. Home Front is versatile, colorful, and beautiful (can we say that?)….we think you’ll love it.

The line is currently available at online retailers like 2peas, amillionlittlethings, stopandscrap, as well as at your local scrapbook stores. Since there is no minimum order, you can ask your local store to order it in for you if they don’t already have it. From January, you will be able to buy the line directly from Studio Calico.

  1. I love that kit!
    I wish I had a June Cleaver kitchen. My home front is more French country, with celery green as the dominant color. I think home should feel warm and inviting (though I do often lust for ultra-modern stainless steel and slate).

  5. My home front is white with black shutters and a cute front porch. The best part if the laughter than can be heard inside! 🙂 (Thanks for the chance to win, I love this line from Studio Calico!!)

  10. I’m not satisfied with my home front, but we project some modifications
    thanks for the chance, i love S CALICO

  12. I live with my parents, hope one day I have my own house with a beautiful home front
    thanks for the chance to win

  13. The front of my house isn’t all that exciting.
    Tan…two big oak trees. It’s the inside where all the great things happen that turn it from a house into a home! 🙂

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  14. The great thing about my home front is that is is all ours and invites you in. After living in apartments for an number of years it is great to come home to my front steps leading to my very own door.

  17. My home front is pretty drab–brown paint, a bench chained to the porch, and leaves..a whole lot of leaves. Definitely the downside to renting in a college town!

  18. My husband and I have a 1954 ranch! We just got done updating it – our kitchen had linoleum from every administration since it was built! Now it has beautiful wood floors, we are casual contemporary.

  19. At night as I’m traveling home, I always look for the outside night light. It can be seen 1/2 mile from home and I know when I see it I’m almost there. It’s the most welcoming feeling Ive ever experienced. I guess for me, home is definately where the heart is.

  20. I moved into my first home a couple of months ago and am still figuring out what I want it to look like! I love playing with colors- one room is primarily sage green, another is chocolate brown/teal, another is gray/yellow. I love having total control over what I want my home to look like!

  28. our home front is an apartment complex. Nothing too spectacular. What is inside is what makes all the difference

  30. My homefront is my calm, my serenity, my “safe space”. I am newly married (just over two months!) and so I am at the point of redefining what home means. With all the joys of marriage-cooking new recipes together, decorating our Washington DC apartment, planning our future-also comes adjustments-not getting to spend all holidays with my family, feeling responsible for another person, sharing ;). But I would not have it any other way. Our home reflects both of us, and it reflects who we are becoming. I want to document that and remember it forever.

  35. My home front is light gray, with white trim, dark gray pitched roof, black shutters and a red front door. Red adirondack chairs in my front yard and a small metal red table with chairs on the front porch for my grandchildren.

  36. Mine, unfortunately, is pretty boring, because it’s an apartment. I do have some cute plants outside though.

  37. My homefront is 1 part fun, 1 part love, 1 part laughter, and 10 parts crazy. This is a great giveaway. I love the new stuff.

  39. My home is a contemporary structure, with warm woods and beautiful carpets inside. Lots of indoor greenery and burgundy accents. Thanks for a chance to win.

  41. My home front needs alot of work it is still in its original state since 1946….ohh the endless amount of house jobs =)

  43. My homefront is an eclectic mix of American antiques, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired designs and anything else that catches my eye. Nice clean lines and soothing colors.

  45. My homefront is cluttered and full of papers — I’m in grad school and I’m busily doing my end-of-semester work!

  47. Love this! My homefront is a mix of vintage and modern. I love the nostalgia that is evoked with vintage styles. And like they say, everything old is new again. Some things never go out of fashion!

  48. Right now my homefront looks like a whirlwind disaster. Tree is up, lights are on but no ornaments. Lots of decorations strewn here and there but give me a couple days and we’ll be all set.

  49. Right now my home front has Christmas lights up and windows decorated but still has a scarecrow taken down.

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:
