Stickers can be used to customize your planner to suit your planning needs. You can use them to decorate, add additional planning elements or to highlight text.
The stickers in this sticker book have been designed to work with any At Home With Littles planner, notebook or journal, although you can use the stickers in any digital planning tool you use. You can also import your own stickers for easy access to all the stickers you use.
Three main types of stickers:
Decorative Stickers: Trackers, shapes, icons – these stickers can be used in your planner to customize your page and and they help you plan the way you need to plan.
Layout “Widget” Stickers: These stickers are designed to fit into the margins and columns of your monthly, weekly and daily dated pages and add a little bit more customization to your planning. The monthly planning widgets are designed to fit over the right side margin. On the weekly pages, the widgets are sized to go on the bottom of the page. The daily page widgets are designed to fit on top of any column on the daily dated pages.
Most PDF markup apps resize images when you insert stickers in, so if you aren’t using the sticker book in the GoodNotes app, you may have to resize the sticker widgets to get them to fit where you want them to be on your page.
Overlay Stickers: The overlay stickers are transparent shapes that you can place anywhere on your page to add colored blocks but still be able to see whats underneath them. These stickers are great for highlighting text or adding color to your page.
