2023 Stop The Blur and other Memory Planners

I memory plan in a planner I print myself on cardstock. 8.5”hx7”w
My hope is to keep current with it this year. I did very well for several years but haven’t done a thing for 6 months since I moved. So my goal for 2023 is just to keep going. That’s it.

I usually use kerri bradford stamps to set up my month pages either the ‘year round’ stamps or the ‘blocks of time’, I just love these sets and how buildable they are.
Currently I am also using her double digits small for my daily dates

Hello! This is my first year doing memory planning. I have done project life on and off for years. I’m getting very behind and kind of bored so I’m changing it up. I figure it will be a good mix while I finish 2021/2022 project life. I’m going to be doing mine in a 6x8 using templates I created in photoshop that are very similar to Heidi swapp. I actually used a template from the lily pad from 2015-ish time.

My first week is sitting on my desk and I’m excited. It looks like it will be fun. My goal today is to put it together.

Here’s my week 1

Hi Laura! Hi Peas!

Awesome thread! I am enjoying seeing all of your memory planners. Thanks for sharing!



I'm not sure if what I'm doing is "memory planning" or not. In 2022, I got a Happy Planner plus the box punch and a couple of the discbound edge punches with the intention of using the planner to scrap photos chronologically. I made a few pages like that and loved them, but it was too time consuming to do the pics that way.

What I was planning to do ended up morphing into something else.

I'm a longtime planner user. I probably couldn't have made it through college without my planner. Nowadays I'm using my planner for writing down things I want to remember for both work and personal reasons. I am keeping my planners for the long term, because the information in them often proves invaluable to me later. And then, I figured if I am going to hang onto them, I might as well make them pretty and worth looking at.

So now my planners are my catch-all spot for both planning and for keeping journaling and insights that I don't necessarily want to make public in my family scrapbooks, which get shared with everybody. That's why I've shared "before the pen" layouts on my website, and above in this post.

Thanks for taking a look!

Mine is in week 52 of project life from the previous year. I’m just continuously rolling it. I thought about it a bunch and didn’t like that it was just one day.

I hope to start a new book February 1st! I'll be watching this thread to see what y'all are up to. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. This is such a great way to get memories saved for the future.

It tells me page removed or link broken.

Same,  if I had anything I really wanted to show up in 2023 PL for jan 1, I would have just included it in the layout for Jan 2-8.

I’m up to date!!! I’m excited because my memory planning fell completely thru for July - Dec I don’t know why.
I’m really enjoying myself. I think my issue was not having my printer unpacks & not being able to mentally prepare the photos for printing elsewhere.

Anyway I am glad I’m back to fiddling at my desk almost daily, it makes me happy.

I said ‘in my memory planner’ lol not ‘caught up’ and july to Dec 2022 are pretty much blank.

No worries I’ll never be ‘caught up’ but when I went back to scrapping after my divorce I gave myself or to mission to not have to go back and catch up. Would have overwhelmed me completely
