Trying new things

I have been really interested in the concept of bookmaking recently. I love the idea of creating a notebook or journal by hand and using my own design as the cover. With the help of a tutorial on Photojojo, I made my first notebook using an image I thought would work perfectly-

I was happy with the outcome but still looking into getting them professionally printed. I love the "handmadeness" of these ones but I still need to test them to see how the hold up. So far so good!
