Travel Themed Sketch Book

I had started this class a while ago and created the inside of the book but wasn't quite sure what to do for the cover. I wasn't comfortable with cutting up a book for the cover, but wanted something sturdy enough to survive being in a bag or purse. I had a travel magazine with images  from each destination so I created a collage cover on a thin piece of board. My main purpose for this pocket book was for sketches, so I chose to use newsprint for the inside pages  and stapled along the spine to hold it together.
