Love making these sketchbooks! - image 1 - student projectLove making these sketchbooks! - image 2 - student projectI decided to start small and made this first one 3.5"x5.5" landscape filled with 6 signatures of 140# cold press cotton.Love making these sketchbooks! - image 3 - student projectThe cover is made with heavyweight, double-sided scrapbook paper treated with 2 layers of mod podge. My new crop a dile came in handy for the eyelets (on front cover only). This was a very enjoyable project and I plan on making a larger one next. Thanks Jill!

I've since made a larger 5x8  portrait sketchbook (top photo) filled with 9 signatures, a mixture of 140# cold press and rough cotton. The cover is three layers of scrapbook paper with a napkin decoupaged on front. It fits perfectly in the leather slim A5 notebook cover from Galen Leather. This is getting addictive!
