Hello there! Today I have a super exciting post to share with you! I can't wait to share my thoughts on the new 2016 Moments Inked Planner available now at Papertrey Ink! The customers asked, and Papertrey listened! Some of the most requested changes are happening in the 2016 planner, AND you can still use all of the existing Moments Inked stamps and dies!
Due to popular demand, the 2016 planner is now available in spiral bound and binder versions! The amazing format of the pages is the same for both the spiral bound and binder versions, and now you have a choice of five new covers for the spiral bound version or four gorgeous new leather binder colors!
Here is a look at the new laminated covers for the spiral planner. They are sold separately, but very reasonably priced, making it possible to get all of them and switch them out when you are feeling the need for a change. It was a tough choice for me, but I think the new Create a Beautiful Life cover is my favorite (for now LOL!) In case you are wondering, all of the covers introduced in 2015 also work too!

Probably the most noticeable different between the 2015 and 2016 planners is the size. While the length and width of the planner is the same as last year, you can see what a big difference in thinkness there is. The 2016 planner does not contain the daily pages that were included in the 2015 planner, making the new version much thinner and much easier to handle on the go!
Another one of my favorite changes is the metal coil that holds together this year's spiral bound planner. It seems much sturdier than the plastic coil that was previously used, and I also feel like adding new pages is much easier with the new metal coil. Since the planner is much thinner, the coil is much smaller, but there is still plenty of room to add lots of pages and really customize your planner to fit your needs!
Papertrey's beautiful colors are a huge part of what attracted me to the company in the first place! Just like last year, each month of the year has it's own color scheme. I like to decorate my pages to coordinate with the month's color scheme, and this year, a color guide is included in the front of the planner making it easy for all of your custom pages to match perfectly! If you are a card maker like me, I think these combos are a great jumping off point for creating a card, and I have personally challenged myself to make a card each month of the year using the planner color scheme for that month! Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
And let's not forget the gorgeous leather binders that are new additions to the Moments Inked line up! They are available in four beautiful, classic colors: Ebony, Natural Tan, Stone Gray and White. It was SO hard to choose a color, but I opted for white to let all of the beautiful colors within the pages to really pop! I couldn't be happier with my choice. The beautiful stitching and gold metal accents really add a ton of class to these binders. Timeless, and classic, they are sure to be in style for years to come!
One of my favorite details about the binders is the beautiful embossed emblem on the bottom right corner. The embossing stands out well, but doesn't distract. Such an amazing little detail! Other fun things to point out about the binder: Inside there are 2 pockets, one on the inside of the front cover, and one on the inside of the back cover, a spot for keeping a refillable note pad inside the back cover, and even a pen loop! They've thought of everything!
And now for the insides!! Many of the great things that you know and love about the 2015 planner remain the same in the 2016 version, but the biggest difference, apart from the removal of the daily pages is the weekly spread format. Here you can see the 2016 pages on the left compared to the 2015 pages on the right. As you can see, instead of having each day divided up into morning, afternoon and evening, each day now has it's own full length, lined column, which is perfect for list making and note taking! There is still a blank column on the left of each weekly spread and lines under each column to keep little notes, your dinner menu, water intake, daily exercise... whatever your little heart desires!!
In addition to the 2016 planners that are available in the store now, PTI has also introduced new 3"x3" and 3"x6" white post-it notes! You may have noticed them in a few of my pictures above, and I also share a little project using them yesterday in the Moments Inked Newsletter. You can check out that post here if you are interested!
