See? That wasn't that difficult... Give us those page numbers!! 😂 I always tell my husband, why don't they just do the numbers light enough that if you want them, you have them... and if you don't want them, they aren't obvious. This is the perfect blend of that idea. Congrats Mark!!
I’m not against page numbers being an option for people who want them, but I will be against making them “light”. The fact that they are there will upset me 😂🤣 how can I rip pages out of they’re all numbered?! 😅😂🥲
Hey, congratulations! Wear that Dork Tag with pride, these came out absolutely gorgeous! Love the addition of the grid marks, and of course, the page numbers.
So awesome! I really hope that A&O sees how excited people are over the page numbers and markers and make them standard going forward! Love the cover you designed as well - super classy 🙂
Congratulations! It looks beautiful. In addition to the motifs you pointed out, I see several quilt block patterns - clam shells, drunkards path, half squares….
Love the behind the scenes! And the hidden shapes are super fun, too. The long rectangle with the diagonal lines immediately below the pencil (on the cover) looks like an envelope to me.
Journal notebooks with pen holders make so much sense to me.. instead of looking for a pen whenever you want to write, it’s readily available anytime, anywhere.
I can only echo everyone's comments... love the design so much! Hubby does Electronics & even he'd appreciate that cover. It's the perfect blend of not being in your face yet giving you something to look at & ponder over up close. I too appreciate the Light Page Numbers & Markers. Congrats Mark!!!
MARK Congratulations! I'm in, I got the professional collection last year and I'm still using my notebooks and I will most definitely get this as well. Love the page numbers, it just makes sense!
I am very glad you did a behind the scenes, especially on the material cover because I was like.. but that would have been gorgeous with the leather! and then saw the fingerprints and was like.. oh.. Okay.. yeah. Buckram. Yeup, they know what they're doing lol Congratulations! The excitement was still very noticeable. ^-^ I could only imagine you must be on cloud nine.
Had to hop on here after starting to set up my new work journal in Marked and am LOVING the smart Marked page indications. I didn’t add a grid spacing spread for the first time and haven’t had to count boxes because of the 1/2 and 1/3 markers. So simple, such smart design. Also really love how discreet the page numbers are, I barely notice them but they are there when I need them. Thanks for being so thoughtful with this design!
I was so happy for you when I saw the collab in the first email! The video of how this was all created is a great idea! The ambassador inputs lately have been wonderful!
Thank you for collaborating with them on this, it's amazing! My husband was literally asking me the other day, "Do they have any designs that aren't so... floral and feminine?" And your launch was right on time for us! Thank you!
Ok how can we make the octopus designs happen lol Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes on the process! This is such a cool design - really appreciate the inclusive approach as someone who doesn’t do florals
So looking forward to get my hands on this notebook 😄 Mega congrats Mark, this is so exciting! 🥳 Loved the behind the scenes look at the process and hearing everyone else being pumped for the notebook too 💜
Oh my gosh Mark it looks amazing!!! Really really great job!! I really really want some... Postage to Australia stinks... But this really just might finally justify the need... The need is real!! My son will love this too!! ❤
Mark, I'm just now discovering your channel for the first time, and because of you I'm going to be trying bullet journaling. Wish me luck. I saw your quick start guide followed by you're more detailed one, and then I spotted this video! Congratulations, the notebooks look amazing! I'm going to be ordering these to start my bullet journaling journey! Can't wait for you to design more!
Congratulations on your collaboration! When I first saw it I thought “who is this guy?” It’s nice to meet you btw 😊. I am in love with all the things: page numbers, page markings, the cover (love the cover!) & THANK YOU for nixing the fingerprints. That would have been a hard no for me. I can’t wait for mine to arrive so I can see it in person
As a fellow (UX) designer I appreciate this so much! Thanks for explaining the thinking / ideas behind the product and for designing this amazing notebook ❤
dude this is SO epic! Huge congrats to you. This is so flippin' cool (pun intended lol). Love the easter eggs in the design and the process that went into this - mega impressive. I can really see how much joy and happiness this project brought you and I'm so glad you got to Mark Your Pages in this journal (ok i'll stop haha). Oh and fun fact, a subscriber of mine pointed me in this direction and stated that the journal is "sOOOOOOOOO nice!!" definitely agree 🧡
Ah thanks so much. I tried to email you to get a copy in your hands ahead of time but perhaps I had the wrong one? But thank you for the props and I’m so glad one of your amazing subscribers sent you this way. This design is for all the functional folks in the room. 🙌🙌
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. What an amazing dream that you didn’t even knew you had! It is beautiful. I love the final product and enjoyed the process that you went through. ❤
Congratulations Mark! This is a well deserved achievement and I am so happy for you and your accomplishment. I just received my B5 and A5 size Marked notebooks today. I look forward to many more your future collaborations with Archer and Olive. I’m confident this won’t be your last. 😊🎉
I am so happy for you, Mark!!!!! This is awesome. One thing I would like to see from A&O is the addition of a square grid as an option. But this is very exciting news!
I’m amazed you got them to number the pages, but the way you cheerlead them, they should listen. Maybe the sales will encourage them to number more. All of my non-A&O notebooks are numbered!
The design is so gorgeous! I love the marks inside and I will definitely have to get one. Even though it has page numbers and will stress me out 😂🤣 the design is worth it!
I had to go from watching on the tv to my phone just to tell you that I love this notebook! In addition to the page numbers, the layout markings are awesome. (Thank you for avoiding the worn look btw… I love vintage but I don’t understand wanting a worn looking product lol). Well done!
Very cool to see the process (yes, I would lose my mind with the “dirty” looking one, lol) and the page numbers are absolutely perfect…they don’t scream at you or have a specific “design style,” yet are functional or ‘ignorable’ (in a good way,) for anyone to use or not use. I would take this to the office (agree on the ampersand redesign for the office) and being someone who likes things to be lined up just right, the smart marks are awesome! It looks professional, interesting and classy…everything someone who works in a professional office would want…with the ability to make it all your own, so you aren’t carrying around the same generic “planner” or dreaded ugly black portfolio that everyone else is. Well done, Mark and Heidi!!
@@markyourpages I’m so glad you got to create this and see your “baby” be launched and show it off!! 👏 That’s quite an achievement and you should give yourself a pat on the back! (Also, this would look really cool in red, with the glossy red on red…cause I love red, and in some offices, you can be a little more ‘free’…it would be stunning in fire engine red on red with black ribbons!)
YOU DID IT!!! I was thrilled to see your collab with A&O because i knew you would bring something new to the table. The lack of page numbers has always been my biggest gripe with them. But honestly I am most excited about the smart marks. My current bujo notebook has something similar and it's a game changer. Plus this cover design is gorgeous 😍 Can't wait to get mine! Congrats!!
Mark I just ordered it! I was really contemplating on what bujo to use next year and it just has to be this one. Your pod with Jess has inspired me to make use of page numbers.
Excellent and congrats! I love what you designed, the cover is gorgeous! (I spotted a skinny symbol just above and to the right of Mando that is giving me Star Trek vibes.) Stoked to see page numbers and smart marks! Great name for those btw😉 It will make it so much quicker for set ups. So did I need another notebook? No. Did I just scoop a square one up? Yes!!
Congratulations!🥳 Since you announced the page numbers I liked the notebook 😅😊 and was happy for you but now I love it even more, it looks so very well designed, the time you put on it shows and noticing at least two "k" on it: "personalized it" for me 😂 I really hope they can move forward with your idea for the charm redesign (I've never quite like it tbh 😅) and what you showed looks really good in my opinion
See? That wasn't that difficult... Give us those page numbers!! 😂 I always tell my husband, why don't they just do the numbers light enough that if you want them, you have them... and if you don't want them, they aren't obvious. This is the perfect blend of that idea. Congrats Mark!!
hahaha, we were on the same page with that page number thought
I’m not against page numbers being an option for people who want them, but I will be against making them “light”. The fact that they are there will upset me 😂🤣 how can I rip pages out of they’re all numbered?! 😅😂🥲
I don't need a new notebook but I'm buying one anyway because I want A&O to know that we need more notebooks like this!
Aww thank you!
Pretty much in the same boat lol
Same!! Also, because Mark is cool and super excited, and I want to support that too!
Congratulations Mark. I think your notebook is timeless and meets the wants of almost anyone! Bravo.
Thank you!!
woohoo!! page numbers AND smart markers; definitely a winner! congratulations and was verrrryy excited to see the behind the scenes process! 🎉
Thanks so much for all your support.
I absolutely love how excited you are about your design, as you should be! You did a phenomenal job!
Thank you. I get hyped for alot, but this was a next level
Page numbers
BEST decision Archer & Olive has made!
haha, i agree ;-)
Yes! Page numbers, so awesome! Congratulations, good job.
Thank you so much.
Hey, congratulations! Wear that Dork Tag with pride, these came out absolutely gorgeous! Love the addition of the grid marks, and of course, the page numbers.
Thank you!!!
@@markyourpages Just ordered A5s and Squares for my hubs and myself. Really excited to get them!
@@CoachNancy-CoS you are the best. Hope you both enjoy it!!
REALLY, REALLY like this for all the reasons: page numbers, signifier and cover, oh my!
Thank you!!!
OMG your joy in this video is infectious! Congrats on the journal--it looks fabulous! And thank you for sharing your process and excitement. 💗
Thanks for checking it out.
So awesome! I really hope that A&O sees how excited people are over the page numbers and markers and make them standard going forward! Love the cover you designed as well - super classy 🙂
Me too!!!!
Congratulations! It looks beautiful. In addition to the motifs you pointed out, I see several quilt block patterns - clam shells, drunkards path, half squares….
Quilting in the house. I've heard from a few people that are into quilting that love the designs.
Love the behind the scenes! And the hidden shapes are super fun, too. The long rectangle with the diagonal lines immediately below the pencil (on the cover) looks like an envelope to me.
Ooo a good find!
I got my notebook today. This notebook is absolutely beautiful 😍 Your design is so beautiful. I haven't seen a journal of this quality ever. ❤
That makes me so happy!!!! Enjoy every second of it
Journal notebooks with pen holders make so much sense to me.. instead of looking for a pen whenever you want to write, it’s readily available anytime, anywhere.
Yeah a must have.
Yay Mark. I’m so glad you decided to show your design process. And I adore the results. Congrats 🎉
Thanks so much!
Wow! You are now stationery royalty. 👑
I'll wear that crown with pride
Congrats! So excited for you, Mark. You have actually outdone yourself. This is cool and gorgeous at the same time. 🔥!
Thank you so much!!!!
I can only echo everyone's comments... love the design so much! Hubby does Electronics & even he'd appreciate that cover. It's the perfect blend of not being in your face yet giving you something to look at & ponder over up close. I too appreciate the Light Page Numbers & Markers. Congrats Mark!!!
Thanks so much. It turned out so nice and I’m thrilled you love it
Congratulations Mark! 🎉 Love the cover and inner lining. The smart marks are genius!
Thanks so much!

So looking forward to get my hands on this notebook 😄 Mega congrats Mark, this is so exciting! 🥳 Loved the behind the scenes look at the process and hearing everyone else being pumped for the notebook too 💜
Thanks so much!! I am so glad everyone loved the process part. It's the most fun part I think.
Love the notebook. congrats! But I gotta say that black on black octopus design was amazing. I would buy several of those also.
I’ll keep it for the future :-) I still love that one too
I actually love the faux leather vintage look. But your final product is so good, too! I especially love the inner page numbers and dots ❤ Great job!
Thank you. Maybe I will get a shot at another design in the future. That would be very cool
Oh my gosh Mark it looks amazing!!! Really really great job!! I really really want some... Postage to Australia stinks... But this really just might finally justify the need...
The need is real!! My son will love this too!! ❤
Thank you!!! I’m so sad about the postage too.
Omg, black on black octopus?! Yes PLEASE
I know, right. I would have loved that design so much

Congratulations 🎊 I just placed my first order with the company. I have started a new hobby with fountian pens and notebooks ❤
That is awesome! Thanks for the support.

Congratulations! 🎉I love the page numbers and the style of it.
Thanks so much.
This design is amazing! Hope that such collabs keep happening. A&O - We want more Mark's notebooks🙏💯
Sing it from the mountain tops. I would love to do more collabs in the future.
Spot on Gorgeous Journal! Love the history of its creation too. Count me on buying! Love it!
Thank you so much!

Everything I wanted it to do. Yay!
Congratulations Mark! This is a well deserved achievement and I am so happy for you and your accomplishment. I just received my B5 and A5 size Marked notebooks today. I look forward to many more your future collaborations with Archer and Olive. I’m confident this won’t be your last. 😊🎉

Hey Mark, this is so great that you got to design your own notebook. Awesome process. I love what you came up with. Well done.
Thank you for checking it out
I am so happy for you, Mark!!!!! This is awesome. One thing I would like to see from A&O is the addition of a square grid as an option. But this is very exciting news!
OOo that would be fun
Thanks for sharing! Congratulations on designing your notebook! I really like the markers to split the pages.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful Mark! Fortunately it came out in time for my visit home. A square version is already waiting for me at my sisters house.
Oh yay! Great size and so glad you snatched one up
I’m amazed you got them to number the pages, but the way you cheerlead them, they should listen. Maybe the sales will encourage them to number more. All of my non-A&O notebooks are numbered!
Agreed! I couldn't grab this fast enough. Page #s are essential for bujo which would give them a wider audience. That's why I got it.
Fingers crossed!!!!
Just made my first order at A&O! Love your design! Super excited!
That is so cool! Thanks for letting mine be your first
The bullseye top right corner!
Good eye
You had me at Bauhaus!!!❤ You did SO good. Marked notebooks incoming!!
@@christinedearinger2668 thanks so much
I enjoyed getting a look into the artistic process!
So glad I included it.
Wow what an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations! 🎉
Thank you
Very nice subtle design. Looking forward to seeing Mark 2!
OMG, i would love to do more in the future
Congratulations! They are beautiful notebooks.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations!! Really cool video, I appreciate that you shared any of the in between steps and ideas that existed for a minute but got abandoned.
Thank you for checking it out.
Really like the final cover. Yes I would have hated the finger prints.
I couldn’t hand them on the cover.
The design is so gorgeous! I love the marks inside and I will definitely have to get one. Even though it has page numbers and will stress me out 😂🤣 the design is worth it!
Thank you. 🙏
I'm obsessed. Just when I think I don't need a new notebook. This is amazing 😅
HAhha. I have that problem all the time

I appreciate the commitment.
I have no idea how you kept this secret, looks amazing
IT KILLED ME not to tell anyone. I asked all the time - hahaa.
Got mine ordered today! Congratulations, and thank you, Mark!
100% Thank you
Love this notebook!!! Thank YOU for getting the page numbers. :D

Can’t wait. Wish it came in the standard TN size too 😅
Congratulations! What a great notebook!
Thanks so much!
I love the result. But i also love the octopus so please i hope to see it
I'd love to make that one too
My first A&O purchase. Can't wait for it to arrive!
Yaaaaay! Thanks for your support.
Congratulations!
Thank you so much
What a handsome notebook! I’ve been an A&O follower and user for many years, and your notebook is just rad!
Thank you so much.

Thanks. And fingers crossed for volume 2
Gorgeous! Congrats … design well done!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! The notebook is beautiful 😍
Thank you so much
Wow you did an amazing job. Love everything about this notebook
Thank you so much!
I love the pattern on the cover. I want to turn it into a quilt.
That would be epic
Congrats! I don't need a new notebook since I have a stash like most everyone here but I'm happy to pick one up in support of your efforts. Nice job!
I really appreciate it
I bought your notebook to support you and have a numbered notebook from Archer and Olive.
Thank you so much!!!
It was so, so cool hearing the design process! Also, above Mando's helmet (and a little to the right) I totally thought that was a nod to Star Trek 🖖😂
ok, it's officially, i accidently added that. haha.
Excellent and congrats! I love what you designed, the cover is gorgeous! (I spotted a skinny symbol just above and to the right of Mando that is giving me Star Trek vibes.) Stoked to see page numbers and smart marks! Great name for those btw😉 It will make it so much quicker for set ups. So did I need another notebook? No. Did I just scoop a square one up? Yes!!
Thank you very much! It will be a great one to use next. I am prob a few month or so away from a new one.
Well, I can already tell you that I think your notebook is awesome and as soon as I can afford one I want to order it.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it
Oh.. love some of those Art Deco designs - I'm a big fan of Art Deco. - edit.. now to ad TN sized as that is what I use.
Thank you. I am such a fan of that time in design.
Absolutely love it. Can’t wait to get mine.
Thank you so much. I am so excited for others to have it and use it.
Yes, finally. Mine get here on Monday.
Yaaay!
Mine just came in today. Looking forward to using the square one (first) at work.
Yaaaaay!!
Just bought all 3 sizes. I'm excited about this.
I like your approach
Oh my god, i'm so happy for you ❤
I'm so excited to get mine ❤
I appreciate the love
Congratulations!🥳 Since you announced the page numbers I liked the notebook 😅😊 and was happy for you but now I love it even more, it looks so very well designed, the time you put on it shows and noticing at least two "k" on it: "personalized it" for me 😂
I really hope they can move forward with your idea for the charm redesign (I've never quite like it tbh 😅) and what you showed looks really good in my opinion
I love that you found some personalization in there :-)
Love it Mark!
Thanks so much!
Just received 3 of your notebooks. I love them.
Oooo look at you!!! Thanks for the support.
Congratulations 🎉! I am so excited for this notebook, it really does have everything anyone would want.
YAY!!!!
This is so cool!! Proud of you 🎉
Thanks buddy!!!
