These are Avery Mini Inkjet Lables that I bought from Staples. You get 4725 labels in the pack...that's a lot of labels.
Each A4 sheet holds 189 Labels and there are 25 sheets per pack.
Next, I downloaded the Avery Template and set to work on inserting some Clipart and Wordart into each square. (Copy & paste came in very handy here).
I've enclosed some close up shots so you can see what Stickers I've created:
Where I live, we have alternative weekly refuse collections, I can never remember from week to week, which Wheelie Bin to put outside. A little sticker in my diary is going to sort that problem out.
I pay my rent every 4 weeks and it's nice to have a little reminder in my Filofax. The picture underneath, represents holidays. The disability badge is a personal reminder, then it's Valentine's Day, Hallowe'en and I use the Rose to represent a memorial of a passed love one.
Next is a No School sticker to remind me when the school holidays are here and better still, the Back To School sticker.
Some More Back to School stickers, then Optician, Hairdressers, Doctor & Hospital appointment reminders.
Car Tax Reminders and lots of different Birthday stickers.
Then I have Weddings & Anniversaries, Dentist, Vets. The doves and rainbows are again Memorial Passings. Then finally Car MOT.
This is a personal sized, week on one page format diary and as you can see, the sticker doesn't take up a great deal of space, but does stand out from the writing.
I'm actually pretty pleased with the way these have turned out.
Hope you enjoy. x
wow - what a GREAT idea! I love it, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! Will have to look into getting some of these sheets to play with at home.
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant! Lord Dodo might well be minded to do something similar too! We already have some self adhesive stickers - some of which are similar to yours (http://www.dodopad.com/shop/save-the-day-stickers.html) - but we could make them available as downloads too! Love the rubbish and recycling ones :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. x
ReplyDeleteLord Dodo, I think Downloaded stickers would be wonderful....I wish I knew how to share my file on here so people could access them easy.
These stickers are great, well done you! Ray uses www.box.com for sharing files; I'm sure if you asked him what to do he'd help you.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Gail. If you go to box.com you can set up a free account, upload files and share them. There are tutorials there, but it's pretty intuitive. Give me a shout if you need help (ray DOT blake AT gmail DOT com)
ReplyDeleteThose are great Gail, well done, i'm rubbish with things like that, not got the patience :)
ReplyDeleteGail those are awesome. What a genius idea. I love the hospital and birthday ones. I don't have access to a printer any more, so I can't make my own.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comments everyone.
ReplyDeleteRay and Lucy, thanks for the heads up, I will check it out and try and upload them.
Great ideas everyone. Curious about shipping costs to US (Lord Dodo). Downloadables would be great!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!!! I want!!! Must get stickers and templates.... :o)
ReplyDeleteGail, these seem a perfect size for personal pages. It must have taken you quite some time, but the beauty is, once they are done, you can just re-print. I love the car tax and recycling wheelie bin.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, they didn't seem to take that long, once I got the size and image onto the the sticker template, then it was just copy and paste for the others.
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! I have been looking for some just like these. Not sure I can make them but guess I will give it a try. Please let us know if you make them available or sell them through Etsy, etc. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've bought the lables and even used the avery template but have now wasted 6 sheets of labels as the pictures aren't printing straight - I'm getting a lot of overhangs. Any advice as the lable weren't cheap. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe're do you go for the clip art?
