Introducing Moments Inked Memory Planner System

We're beyond excited to share a new collection of products with you that is sure to have your paper-loving (and maybe office-supply loving!) heart skipping a beat!!  Whether you want to keep track of your schedule, your blog posts or even your memory-keeping in the year ahead, we've got you covered with an entirely new planner system that we think you're going to love!  It's not just any planner system, it's a lifestyle!

The vision for this book is that it replaces every daily journal and notebook you may use.  Our planner has the capacity to be used as a meal planner, fitness/nutrition journal, gratitude journal, goal tracker, birthday calendar, schedule calendar, list keeper, sketch book and memory scrapbook all in one.  This book is all about simplifying and documenting life, all at once with very little effort for the busy lives we lead.  Once the year is complete, the planner can be kept as a keepsake, a beautiful book that summarizes another amazing year in your life.

 

 

5" x 7" Size + Spiral Bound- Our planner measures a nice petite 5" x 7" and measures about 1-1/2" thick.  The reasons for this are two fold.  It is small enough that it can easily fit into a purse.  Also, we are able to create full page dies for it that can accommodate most of the popular die-cutting machines that are currently on the market.  This size is something we will stick with, making it easy to use coordinating products for years, including swapping out the laminated covers.  A sturdy spiral binding holds this planner together.  Nothing compares to the nice flat surface that is created when a spiral bound planner is open.

 

 

70lb. Crisp White Linen Paper- We only selected the BEST materials for our planner, using the same linen paper utilized for our signature patterned papers.  It is a crisp white, which entices you to write upon its pages!    The 2015 planner contains a whopping 576 double-sided, full-color pages and 14 mylar laminated tabbed section dividers.

 

Here are additional details specific to the Moments Inked 2015 Memory Planner!

 

We are releasing three cover designs this year, all of which are bright and colorful, reflecting the color choices made for this years tabs.  There is a little something for everyone from vintage, to modern to trendy.  

 

These covers are heavily laminated for an easy wipe-off surface in preparation for those inevitable spills.  The spiral edge of these covers is slit so that the covers are interchangeable, just in case you can't decide!  You can easily swap them as frequently as you wish.

 

 

All 14 tabs in this planner are visible at once rather in several layers, making it even easier for you to flip quickly to the section of your choice. 

 

All of the tabs are laminated for longevity and strength.  Not to mention, the rainbow of colors is pretty to look at too!

 

The front section of the book has a few basics that will come in handy. 

 

There is an intro page with space for you to add your name so hopefully the book can be returned to you if lost.  There is a Moments Inked lifestyle overview page (more about that below) and a 2015/2016 year at a glance calendar page to be used a s a reference.

 

I personally did a lot of research and self-exploration to bring together not only a well-thought out planner, but also a lifestyle that is broken into small pieces for each day.  If those pieces are completed every day, it will add up to you living your best life possible. 

 

The planner provides you with the tools to really DO this!  I will be going into more detail about all of this when describing the daily pages below.

 

There is a section for you to fill-in important dates to remember.  This could include birthdays, anniversaries, etc...  These pages can be used as an easy reference throughout the year, adapted to what your needs are!

 

 

Each month features an inspirational quote at the start using that month's special color scheme.  

 

Each of the quotes I selected are meaningful to me and I hope they inspire you as much as they have me!

 

This resolutions page, found in the front section of the planner, helps you to make this your best year yet.  With resolutions in a variety of areas like this written down in one spot that you will see often, you are bound to succeed!

 

 

Each month features a monthly spread in its designated color scheme.  This features the whole month at a glance for easy reference. 

 

The right hand column can be used for writing down tasks or things to remember.  A mini calendar for the following month is at the top of this column.

Holidays are labeled appropriately throughout as an extra touch.  The monthly boxes measure 1" wide and 7/8" tall, giving you enough space to jot down a few important events or appointments.  Again, all of these pages are in full-color, which makes it such a pleasure to use!

 

Each month has the appropriate number of weekly spreads, giving you plenty of space to detail your busy life and break everything down into bite size pieces. 

By dividing your days into three sections rather than an hourly schedule, it's easier to make a schedule you can stick to, since a lot of things in real life don't have specific "times".  The weekly columns measure 1" wide.  There are blank columns under each day for notes as well as two large areas on the left.

The weekly spreads are dated already so you don't have to.  The weeks are also numbered, which is a huge benefit to those of you who enjoy weekly scrapbooking.

 

This planner's daily pages are one of the things that really sets it apart!  These are also done in the specific color scheme designated for each month.  You are urged to spend the early part of each morning with your cup of coffee and your page for the day.   

These are also dated for you which is one less thing you need to worry about!

Start by selecting three goals/tasks to focus on.  While you might have ongoing task lists that a bit more lengthy elsewhere in your planner, this space forces you to focus on the top three "to-dos".  As I said earlier, bite size, doable pieces always make things easier and more manageable!

 

At the top of the page, you can list three things you can do today to prepare for tomorrow to make it a bit easier and less stressful.  If you get in the habit of preparing ahead, it can make life so much more streamlined.  Since it is only three things, they will be quick and easy for you to complete.  Check off the items as you complete them!

 

 

Drinking plenty of water has multiple benefits (just google it!) so this little graphic tucked into the top corner of the page provides you with eight "glasses" to color in as you finish them.  Keep a colored pencil with your planner throughout the day!  The satisfaction you will have as you fill in the blanks will be a great motivating factor!  There is also space for you to do your meal planning for the day, with boxes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  If you like to plan ahead, you can easily go through and fill in as many days as you like in advance!

 

You can make an activity/exercise goal for the day.  Even if you don't frequent the gym, you can note the length of your daily walk, etc.  Of course there is a second box for you to fill in what you actually achieved at the end of the day!  This is also a good time to select your daily indulgence for the day, whether it be making time to read the next chapter in your book, 30 minutes of crafting time, or treating yourself to a bouquet of flowers at the florist.  A little something for yourself makes a world of difference!  Once it is in writing, it is easier to make it happen!

At the end of the day you can take just a few moments of reflection and fill in three things you are grateful for,

and one memorable moment that you want to document like you would in a journal. Each of the different components for the daily pages were selected to help you live each day to the fullest on every level!  This isn't just a planner, it's a lifestyle! 

 

In the back section of the planner are a few pages for you to add important contacts that you may want easy access to.

 

The back also has lots of blank pages for whatever you wish!  This includes regular lined pages and graph paper pages, perfect for sketching or planning!

 

The very last page of the planner allows you to fill in a year in review sheet.  A wonderful way for you to reflect on the past year and look at all you accomplished!

Audrey says, "I have been addicted to stationary and planners since I was a little girl.  I think it started with my elementary school planner!  I am a note taker and list maker by nature, and I often find myself in a sea of post-it notes.  I have notebooks and journals for several different areas of my life - home, family, blogging, etc.  I am looking forward to working with a system that will allow me to put all of my important "stuff" in one place.  Something that is functional and fun, bright and colorful, and something that I can look back on remember every year of this crazy thing called LIFE!"

Rebecca says, "I've mostly been storing all of my dates to remember in my head--yup, that's right, my head.  Along with index cards and keeping important emails filed on my phone, I rely on my brain to do the rest.  It's not pretty and nowhere near organized, so when the opportunity arose to try out the Moments Inked Planner System, I jumped on board!  I've been searching for a planner that has the month-at-a-glance, week-at-a-glance, and a page for each day.  To say I was happy that the MI planner has each one of those things is an understatement."

Stephanie says, "Hi, my name is Stephanie. I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband and two children and work full time in an administrative position. When I'm not with my family or working, I like to spend my time paper crafting, reading, watching Nascar and keeping up with my favourite TV obsessions.  Family, work and everyday life activities keep me busy and constantly on the go, so having a planner to keep all of our schedules in one place is a must for me. I love organization and I love paper, so keeping a traditional paper planner is my favourite way to record what's ahead and look back on what we've done."

Suzanne says, "I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of Papertrey Ink's Moments Inked Team! I started stamping a decade ago, and Nichole and her team have been filling my heart with joy and inspiration nearly that entire time. I feel very blessed to be able to share my love of this hobby with you using this fabulous suite of planning products - incorporating them into my daily routine will be so much fun! I can already see how the unique features of this system are going to help me stay better organized, but what I really love most is the simple reminder that each page represents a fresh start."
