Digital Sticker Album

I’ve been feeling more creative in the last five days than I have in the last five months. Really longer, but I like pretty sentences.

I jumped onto the digital bullet journal bandwagon, and with digital journalling comes digitals stickers. Or yah know, images as I like to call them.

I made this 29 page sticker book, complete with 28 blank links to each of it’s 28 usable pages (so you can label your pages!) and a “home” link on the bottom right of each page that brings you right back to the table of contents. Bam, digital sticker album!

You can of course add additional pages without breaking your links, but I am personally hoping that 28 pages of whatever images strike my fancy as needing to be in my BuJo is enough. If not, I might have a problem. Let’s not discuss that I have more than 28 PDF’s worth of images to sort through already…

What is in your BuJo? I have a collection of analog journals, some well loved, some brand new and lonely. I’m digging the use of GoodNotes and Procreate on my iPad Pro to do all the things. I’m not carrying five different books, because they are all in my app. I’m not flustered looking for this page or that page because there is a handy dandy bookmark right to that page. I’m not sure how long it will last. I love the websites I’ve seen that call digital journals apocalypse proof but… I’m thinking my good old standby real analog books are the true winner in that race. I don’t have to charge them, I just have to remember a pen.

The techy geek side of me wars with the old fashioned pencil & paper side of me often. I have pages and page and pages of hand-written notes stored away in the garage. I have thousands of blog entries spanning from 1999 to today in a PDF on a jump drive in a box along with tons of other jump drives as backup storage of photos and writings and who knows what else. Those jump drives sure do take up less room, and are infinitely easier to “search” through for that one thing in particular.

But I cherish the birthday cards, love notes, well wishes, whatever cards that I’ve gotten from long-dead family members and from old friends who has been there through thick and thin. I’d like to think there is a beautiful combination of both worlds that I just haven’t mastered yet.
