Sterling Ink passport booklets - all styles and cover options

[@jessplansandwrites]

These Sterling Ink booklets are like Pokémon: Gotta catch ‘em all! 😂 I ordered some of the undated grid inserts as well. Love the 4 mm grid and the margins! Still staying strong and not ordering anything dated for 2024 besides Hobonichi so far, though.

Yeah, I'm already regretting my haul 😅 I think I will try to sell the weeklies... I don't have a good enough reason/use for them for what they are worth so I feel bad spending so much money 😬 But the notebooks and the monthly I will keep and use so it wasn't a total waste. I just got a bit overly excited 😂 But it will be okay - or it is okay 🤭 Trying to explain things to others and rewatching that while editing usually makes me realize something about my system 😅 I decided to stick to my pocket TN so then I don't have a need for a passport size weekly. I can keep using the Hobonichi Weekly which is so much cheaper 👍🏼 And as I noticed in the video, using a 6 month weekly doesn't even save space like I was hoping for.

@@Katiplans Oh, I understand! These dated booklets are a constant temptation dangling in front of my nose 😂 But after my Hobonichi orders, I really don’t need anything dated for 2024 anymore except maybe a new Weekly Notebook from PaperTess Designs - and even there, I could use her undated TN inserts instead… (Yes, I keep writing that to tell that to myself. Maybe I should just make a 2024 lineup video for that very reason… 😅) I do believe that the dated Sterling Ink inserts will be fairly easy to sell, though. (Also, why keep the monthly when you’ve got the cute Midori one as well? Like I mentioned, I was tempted by that, too, but I talked myself out of it because I don‘t need it.)

I'm keeping the monthly because I have a plan for it and I want to try it out. And it's the cheapest of the dated ones, so I don't feel so bad if it doesn't work out. For the Midori I already have two other uses, so I'm using that too 👍🏼 So two monthlies with a layout I don't like but I'm making it work 😅

I love these new booklets. I talked thru on my unboxing/review ways that I would use them. I think they are really versatile. Plus they come in passport which really needed some good love :)

[@Katiplans]

I did watch your review while I was waiting for my package to arrive 👍🏼 And yes, that was what got me excited - the passport size. I still wish there would be a monthly option with a horizontal layout, but sadly that's apparently not so popular. I have it in the monthly on the quarterly pages, but if I would have it also on the monthly pages, that would be a dream for me. But I will try it on the note pages. Don't know yet if it will be too small for me to see properly 😅

I didn’t know Sterling sold passport size notebooks so thank you for showing them. Is the paper color similar to a weeks (almost white) or is it more of a cream color?

[@Katiplans]

Compared to the Hobonichi Weeks the Sterling Ink booklets look white and the old Tomoe River on the Weeks looks definitely cream. But if I compare the Sterling ink booklet paper to plain white copy paper, it again looks cream. I think it is a nice mildly cream white. Hope that helps 😅

[@JustScribble]

Oh yes they have several booklet sizes (passport is my favorite)...and they have a passport planner too in both horizontal and vertical sizes!

11:56💩💩💩💩💩 woooowww P. S i'm making my own passport size TN notebooks from my daughter 's old grid notebooks for free -a bujo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Katiplans]

That sounds great 👍🏼 I also enjoy making my own notebooks - especially for smaller TN's. 🙂

Which hobonichi is that that’s vertical

[@Katiplans]

It’s called Hobonichi Weekly Calendar. You can find it on their site in the Accessories section. It’s not part of their planner lineup. It’s meant to be used as a sidekick for the A6 techo which doesn’t have any weekly pages, but it’s awesome by itself as a light and small weekly planner.

Order now and regret later I love it! 😂😂😂

[@Katiplans]

Yeah 😂 But I can't make that a habit 😅 Thanks for commenting 😊
