small notebook

Yesterday I made a small notebook. First time ever I made a book without my BIA.
For the cover I sealed a gelli print with matte medium and adhered it to some thicker cardboard. I added some duct tape onto the spine. Inside are four signatures with 4 sheets of paper each. I used paper that's only printed on one side to allow taking notes on the blank ones.
These are some random inside pages:





I'm planning to give this away as a gift to a special person :-D and sincerely hope this person will like it. I'll add some gelli backgrounds on TAGs to work with ...


Thanks for stopping by and have a great week everyone.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx

    What a lovely little book! It's the perfect carry with you size.
    I like the idea of leaving one side of the paper uninked for those notes, etc. where you need a clean slate to work on.

    Lovely book. I too like the idea of leaving one side blank. It makes the spread so much cleaner and easier to look at.

    By the way, what is a BIA. I am new to your blog.
