I've been looking for a graphing notebook lately. A while ago I was looking through Blurb's products and found their notebooks. I decided I really wanted to give it a try. It arrived the other day, and I'm pretty excited about it.
This notebook is 6" x 9" and has 120 pages. It's on their text weight paper which I have mixed feelings about. I'm worried about using an ink pen on the pages as I'm afraid it might bleed through.
The first 40 pages are a mix of my photos of quilts and lined pages. I wanted it to serve as a notebook and graphing book.
I just chose pictures of some of my favorite projects and inserted them. I placed pictures about every fourth page.
From page 40 to the end of the book, I used graphing pages rather than lined. The graph lines are quite light. You can barely see them in this photo. They are usable, but I do wish the lines were a touch darker.
Overall it was a really fun experiment. I love having a little notebook to carry in my purse to sketch while also looking at past projects that I love.
**I didn't receive any sponsorship from Blurb for this book or this post. It's just a product I wanted to try.
Oh my gosh, that is SO pretty!!! I'm a total notebook dork, and I've never heard of Blurb...I'm hopping over there right now, I might need a new notebook for myself... :)

ReplyDeleteHmm, I've used Blurb for photo books in the past, but haven't ever tried their other products, maybe time to give them a go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and a keepsake with your pictures added in. I recently discovered the joy of graphing.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I also just made a book of my blog. It's like a journal I can hold and read.
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. I made a notebook for me a few months ago with my shop/blog header on it and love it. I used a different company though and it is great quality. I should blog about it!
