FAQs
HOW ARE THE FILES FORMATTED?
Files come in PDF format. In order to download and print these, you will need Adobe PDF which is available for free.
WHAT IS A BULLET JOURNAL?
In short, a bullet journal is similar to a planner but more customized. Want a “Books to Read” page to track all the books you want to read? A habit tracker to track your daily habits? A “Last Time I” page to keep track of the last time you changed your home air filter or got an oil change? It’s a collection of pages that work for you, you don’t even have to have a calendar if you don’t want to! They are also known for having a dot grid to make drawing and writing easy.
HOW DO I OPEN A PDF DOCUMENT?
Most computers have pre-installed Adobe Reader on them, but if your particular laptop, PC, or mobile device does not have a PDF reader of some sort on it, you'll need one to view the items. Adobe Reader is the most common one and it's free. You can download it here.
WHAT QUALITY ARE THE PRINTABLES?
All pdf files are high quality 300dpi.
WHAT IS A BULLET JOURNAL COLLECTION?
A bullet journal collection is basically similar things grouped together. Such as a places visited list, future log, master to do list, favorite meals, self care ideas, etc. Almost any type of page can be considered a collection. A calendar page would not be considered a collection.
WHAT IS A BULLET JOURNAL SPREAD?
A bullet journal spread is describing the pages in your bullet journal. It can be a single page or 2 pages that are side by side. Some may argue that it refers to only side by side pages.
WHAT IS A BULLET JOURNAL MONTHLY LOG OR MONTH AT A GLANCE?
Some may say “Monthly Log” “Month at a Glace” you may hear “I only like using monthlies”. It is a page where you would write down the things that you want to do over the course of the month. Think of a calendar with a tasks section for the entire month. Maybe there’s a section to write your goals for the month too.
WHAT IS A BULLET JOURNAL WEEKLY SPREAD OR WEEKLY LOG?
A weekly spread is also known as a layout or weekly log. It is a page where you plan a week in advance. Most divide the page into boxes, columns or rows. You can add a tasks section for that week or even a weekly habit tracker.
WHAT IS A BULLET JOURNAL DAILY LAYOUT OR DAILY LOG?
A bullet journal daily layout or daily log is a page where you plan an entire day. Many create an entire page dedicated just for that day with reminders, appointments, and tasks specifically for that day. You can create the layout in advance and fill it out the day of. If you create a weekly layout you can visit that for each day and write in it each day and consider that your daily as well. If you have a blank calendar and fill out each day only on that specific day some consider that to be a daily log too.
WHAT SIZE ARE THE PRINTABLES ?
Usually US Letter A4, A5 and cut to A5 printed on Letter/A4. See the specific product listing for page size options. You can resize the printables by changing the paper size in your setting and clicking on “fit”.
WHAT DO I DO WHEN THERE ARE 6 WEEKS IN THE MONTH BUT ONLY ROOM ON THE CALENDAR OR HABIT TRACKER FOR 5 WEEKS?
This happens only a few times a year. Simply draw a slash / in the appropriate box. For example for May 2022 for Monday of last week write 23/30 in the space. I do not include 6 weeks because for the most part the entire last week will always be empty and it does not look appealing.
WHAT DO I DO WHEN IT SHOWS 31 DAYS BUT THERE ARE ONLY 30 FOR THE MONTH
An example of this is on the florals printable planner. The vertical calendar is numbered from 1-31. This is to make printing easy for you so you don’t end up with 30 days needing 31. Simply cross out 31 if you do not need it, put washi tape over it or white it out. I usually just draw a black circle over the number 31 or add washi tape.
HOW MANY CAN I PRINT ?
You will receive a downloadable file which you can print as many times as you like (but for your own personal use). The file is designed so that you can print duplicate pages if you need them.
HOW DO I WRITE OVER DARK COLORS?
If you are writing over dark colors I suggest using a white gel pen. My favorite is the Sakura Gelly Roll size 10 white gel pen. Neon and metallic gel pens work too, or metallic markers.
DO YOU ACCEPT RETURNS FOR DIGITAL FILES?
Since products are digital printable files, no refunds will be given. If you are unsatisfied or have any issues please email bianca@sunflowerchilddesigns.com
HOW TO PRINT & CUT STICKERS
I suggest adjusting your printer settings to best quality print and printing on "actual size" or 100% (not fit). I personally love printing my stickers on THIS sticker paper and cutting with THIS xActo knife to make them kiss cut, the great thing about this is that all the stickers stay on the same sheet (you don’t end up with a ton of cut outs) I made a tutorial of how to kiss cut stickers without a machine HERE. The other option is to simply print on printer paper or card stock and cut them out with scissors and use craft tape to adhere pieces to your project.
HOW TO UNZIP A FILE FROM A COMPUTER?
download the file. Open the folder location, this usually goes into your downloads folder. Right click the folder and select "Extract All." This will save the extracted file to a new folder. Open the folder and the extracted files will be there. Then, add the file to iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., to get the files on your mobile device if desired.
I CAN’T FIND THE FILE AFTER I DOWNLOAD
If you can't find the file once it's downloaded, try looking in Downloads under My Computer or search the title of the file on your computer for where it could be hiding.
HOW TO UNZIP A FILE FROM A PHONE?
Due to technology being vastly different from one another, we are unable to provide any technical help at this time.
Unzipping a file from your phone is tricky, I suggest unzipping from a desktop.
All phones are different. This example is using an iphone. Download the file to your files app on your iphone (not anywhere else! the files app should be a blue folder with a white background) hold the file and click uncompress. There are also apps that can unzip files but I have not used any of them.
