neutral blank journal

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Finished another blank book. This is the one I posted about earlier, where I had the dilemma of binding single pages. I ended up doing a stab binding, but messed up my original covers. :( Fortunately, I had bought extra paper for covers (I was originally planning to make two journals, but scratched that), so I used the paper to redo my covers. Cream-colored ribbon was used to do a Japanese stab binding, the pages are neutral colored cardstock, and total cost of the project was roughly $6 (with lots of paper still to spare for stationery, cards, or another book!).

Giving this as a gift most likely on Christmas to my cousin's family to use a photo scrapbook of some sort. More photos behind the lj-cut.
