You know those days when your to-do list feels endless, your dreams feel a little fuzzy, and motivation is hiding under a blanket somewhere?
Yep, we all have those days.
That’s why I love vision boards. ✨
A vision board is more than just a pretty collage—it’s a powerful, visual reminder of where you're going, what you're working toward, and who you're becoming. And with Canva, you don’t need scissors, glue sticks, or a pile of old magazines to make one. You can create your own digital vision board—beautiful, bold, and totally personalized—in just a few clicks.
Whether you’re planning your best year ever, launching a new business, or just want to feel more aligned and inspired, let’s walk through how to design a vision board in Canva that helps you actually stay focused on your goals.
Let’s bring those dreams to life, one image at a time. 💫
🎯 Why Make a Vision Board?
Because sometimes we need to see it to believe it.
A vision board helps you:
Clarify your goals
Keep your big picture front and center
Stay motivated and aligned when life gets busy
Manifest your dreams through intentional design
Create a space that’s inspiring, personal, and so you
It’s part reflection, part planning, part magic. 🪄
🛠 How to Make a Vision Board in Canva (Step-by-Step)
Let’s turn those dreams into something visual, tangible, and beautiful.
Step 1: Set the Mood
Before you open Canva, ask yourself:
What do I want to feel this season/year/month?
What goals am I working toward—personal, spiritual, professional, creative?
What words, images, or themes inspire me?
Take a moment to journal or brain-dump your ideas. This gives your vision board focus and heart.
Step 2: Open Canva and Choose Your Size
Decide how you want to use your vision board:
Desktop Wallpaper? Choose 1920x1080 px
Printable Poster? Go with 8.5x11 or 11x17 inches
Phone Background? Try 1080x1920 px
Planner Insert? Use 7x9 or A5 size
✨ Canva even has “Vision Board” templates to help you get started faster.
Step 3: Collect Your Inspiration
Search Canva’s Photos or Elements tabs for:
Travel destinations
Inspiring quotes
Symbols (like hearts, plants, books, stars, etc.)
Mood-setting images (like cozy homes, fresh journals, glowing sunsets)
🎨 Pro Tip: You can also upload your own images from Pinterest, Instagram, or your camera roll!
Step 4: Arrange Your Vision Board
Drag and drop your images, quotes, and elements onto your canvas. There's no “right” way to do this—just trust your eye and heart.
You can:
Use a grid or freeform collage
Add text overlays for your top goals or word of the year
Group images into categories like health, faith, family, business, creativity, or travel
💛 Make space for the dreams that matter most to you.
Step 5: Save, Print, and Use It Daily
Once your vision board is done:
Download it as PNG or JPG to set it as your desktop or phone background
Print it out and hang it in your workspace or journal
Share it with a friend or accountability partner
Revisit it weekly to refocus, pray over your goals, or adjust as your vision evolves
