COVID-19 is running wild in the US and we are quarantined at home. Since I can’t go and look for new sticker books at the craft store, I am here trying to make as many creative spreads as I can with the books I already have. So, here’s my Plan with Me in my Christian Planner for this week!
Plan With Me in My Christian Planner with the Happy Illustrations Sticker Book
Planning is more than just organizing — it’s a creative practice and spiritual rhythm that helps center my heart and mind on what matters most. Today I’m sharing how I use my Christian planner along with the Happy Illustrations Sticker Book to create a joyful, intentional spread that reflects both my faith and my goals.
Why I Love Planning in a Christian Planner
My planner isn’t just a calendar — it’s a faith companion. Writing down Scripture, prayers, and gratitude alongside my to‑dos helps me stay grounded. Every time I open it, I’m reminded of God’s goodness, even in the midst of a busy week.
Here’s how I bring that intention to life with stickers, colors, and a little bit of creativity.
When I first started this video, I had a completely different vision for how I wanted it to turn out. Sometimes that happens, though. Once the creative juices start flowing – the original idea changes.
What You’ll Need
- Your favorite Christian planner
- Happy Illustrations Sticker Book (full of florals, icons, banners, and cheerful artwork)
- Colored pens or markers
- Washi tape (optional)
- A cup of coffee or tea ☕
My “Plan With Me” Process
1. Start With a Clean Slate
I like to begin with a clear page and a quiet moment. Before placing any stickers, I breathe, pray, and think about:
- What this week needs
- A verse or thought to meditate on
- Tasks and appointments
This helps me plan with purpose — not just decoration.
2. Choose a Theme or Scripture
For this spread, I picked a verse that stood out to me last week (you can see it in the top corner of my planner page). Then, I pulled colors from the Happy Illustrations Sticker Book that matched the vibe:
✨ soft pinks
✨ gentle greens
✨ happy yellows
This creates a cohesive, uplifting look that makes me excited to use my planner every day.
3. Layer Your Stickers
Here’s how I typically build my spread:
Step 1: Place the bigger happy illustrations first — like florals, little icons, or quote banners.
Step 2: Add supporting stickers around appointments, reminders, or Scripture notes.
Step 3: Use tiny icons to highlight prayer times, Bible reading, or encouragements throughout the week.
Mixing shapes and sizes creates visual interest — and makes the page feel joyful instead of cluttered.
4. Add Functional Details
I don’t just decorate — I also plan with purpose:
✔ Write down important appointments
✔ Add a Bible reading schedule
✔ Include prayer targets or gratitude notes
✔ Highlight special events with icons or color bands
Stickers help guide my eye and make important plans stand out — but the planning content is what really keeps me organized.
5. Review and Reflect
One of my favorite parts of planning is the end‑of‑week reflection. I go back through the spread and:
🌿 Mark answered prayers
🌿 Note what I’m grateful for
🌿 Journal insights next to the layout
This turns my planner into a record of life and faith, not just tasks.
Why the Happy Illustrations Sticker Book Works So Well
- Versatile art: Little flowers and icons fit into any theme
- Bright colors: They make my planner feel cheerful, not too serious
- Encouraging vibes: The stickers themselves feel uplifting — perfect for a Christian planner
Whether you’re planning family schedules, personal goals, or spiritual rhythms, this sticker book adds joy without overpowering your content.
Tips for a More Meaningful Planner Spread
Here are a few ideas if you want to go deeper:
✨ Use a Weekly Verse Box
Designate a space for a key Scripture each week — use a banner or frame sticker to highlight it.
✨ Color‑Code by Priority
Assign colors to prayer, relationships, work, and rest — so your planner is both pretty and functional.
✨ Add a Gratitude Corner
Leave space each week to jot down 3 things you’re thankful for.
✨ Keep It Simple
If you’re short on time, use fewer stickers and more writing — your planner still reflects your heart.
Final Thoughts
Planning with the Happy Illustrations Sticker Book in my Christian planner makes life feel a little brighter and a lot more intentional. It’s not about perfection — it’s about showing up, creatively and faithfully, for the week ahead.
I hope this inspires you to open your planner with fresh joy and purpose!
