Best Daily, Weekly, Monthly Planner Mockups
1. Notebook planner mockup
I really enjoyed working with this set of twelve layered PSD files when creating notebooks and planners for my clients.

What I really like is the amazing structuring, which gives quick access to each element you’d like to edit.
Also, you add your design via the smart object layer, SPEEDING up the process even further.
So. Epic.
What’s also epic is the 4000 x 2850px resolution and the three ready-to-use layer styles (embossed, foil stamp, letterpress).
