Monarch Butterfly Journal

Domedreamer searches out backyard insects and photographs them at high magnification for her blog, so I knew this would be a high quality photo. I tweaked the background color to a dusky green and ordered 10 journals to include in fundraiser gift baskets and to give to people who might need a pick-me-up. The journal will slip into a pocket and will not take up a lot of space in a handbag. The cover is a sturdy cardstock. I selected blank/unlined pages, which can be used for both listmaking and freeform doodling. The printing is very crisp and true to color.

It is a very small note pad/book that you purchase from the newsagent and a cover (design) was printed for it. This is apparent as the cover was bent in an odd spot that suggests the damage mark is related to printing, rather than damage through shipping. It is also very small- the image and the wording suggest it is a journal. This definitely is NOT of adequate size to be a journal- it was rather disappointing to receive what I would deem a $5 product in value. fair- as per above- there was a bend in the cover, which appears to be related tot he printing.

This is a perfect size notebook for carrying in your purse or pocket. In addition to the front and back cover, you can also modify the inside of the cover. It's also nice that you have a choice of paper. I chose the lined paper. The printing is crisp and clear and the colors are vibrant. The preview did a good job of showing how the notebook would print. This notebook does a good job of showing off my Create With Photos Oyster Flower designs. My only complaint is that there are two branding marks on this notebook on the inside back cover and the outside back cover that you can't remove.
