Frequently Asked Questions

What are digital stickers?

Digital stickers are original PNG illustrations that you can use just like stickers in digital notebook apps like GoodNotes and Notability. Unlike physical stickers, they can be resized, rotated, rearranged, and reused as many times as you'd like – you'll never run out!

What will I receive?

Each doodle set contains:

When will I get my doodles?

Doodles are available for you to download as soon as your payment has cleared. No shipping costs, no waiting for the mail, no packaging to discard... instant gratification! The download link will be available when your checkout is complete. You'll also receive an email confirmation with a link to your files. Nothing will be shipped to your home.

How do I open my doodles?

Your device and operating system will determine where your files are saved when you download them. Typically, they can be found in the "Downloads" folder on your device. Download the ".goodnotes" file if you plan to use your doodles in GoodNotes. Otherwise, download the "png.zip" file for digital use or the ".pdf" file for printing.

Do your doodles work in GoodNotes?

Yes! Each listing includes a pre-cropped sticker file for the GoodNotes5 iPad app. Use the Import function to open the file ending in .goodnotes from your order. You can import it as a new notebook, or as a new page in an existing notebook. Then use the lasso tool to select and copy an image and paste it to other notebooks – fun!

If you have trouble selecting just one image with the lasso tool, it can be helpful to know that you don't have to draw a circle around the whole image to select it. Just a small circle in the center will do the trick. Alternatively, you can use the image tool to select an image with a single tap.

Can I use your doodles in my paper planner, journal, or scrapbook?

Each set of doodles includes a PDF with all of the images arranged on one or two ready-to-print pages. Because my doodles are designed with the flexibility of digital planning in mind, this file may not perfectly suit your planner or project.

However, the PNG images included in each listing are high-resolution 300-DPI files suitable for printing. If you have a basic image editing program, a printer, and a little bit of technical know-how, you can use my digital doodles as clipart to make your own custom-sized stickers, printable pages, scrapbook embellishments, and other fun personal crafts.

Can I use your doodles to make products for sale?

Doodles are for personal use only and may not be used for commercial purposes. See my Terms of Use for more information.

Do you take custom requests?

Doodling is not my "real job", so I never know how much time I'll have available. In general, I do not accept custom requests – just so I don't accidentally keep someone waiting. But I do have a big "to-doodle" list of suggestions and ideas. So if there's something you'd like to have that isn't in my shop, I'd love to hear what you're thinking!

Do you have any discounts or coupon codes?

Yes! You can find them here. They are also listed in the Announcement section on my main Etsy shop page.

Updates

I often add new doodles to existing sets. My wonderful customers give me all kinds of great suggestions, and sometimes even I get a bright idea :) If a set you already own has updates, message me from your Etsy account so I can look up your order. I'll post a link for you to download the current version. Please don't feel you need to repurchase – I am always more than happy to send out updates!

(hint to Etsy... automatic updates would be a great feature for digital shops)

What is a PNG image?

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphic, a versatile file format that can be used for all kinds of creative projects, both digital and physical. The transparent background makes them perfect for layering into digital pages with text and other images. In addition to being fun and handy for digital notebook apps, PNGs are compatible with other programs and software that handle images, including:

Other questions

I can usually help sort out problems with downloading your files and/or getting them into GoodNotes. However, because my doodles are compatible with such a wide variety of apps and projects, I can't always provide instructions or technical assistance.

To be safe, make sure you own and are familiar with the appropriate software before you make a purchase. Once you have downloaded files from an order, refunds are no longer possible, and I may not be able to help with what you have in mind. If you get stuck, there are many wonderful tutorials on the internet made by generous and creative people. You're sure to find some help and inspiration out there!
