Paper[!]

Almost forgot...this is the amazing paper I got from The Paper Place in Canada! (Free shipping on all 8.5x11 sample sizes...which is the only reason why I ordered a few sheets). I was going to use it for another one of my notebooks that I planned to make...but it's so gorgeous that I'm afraid to use it! I like just looking at and feeling it (yes, I know my affinity for paper is quite odd). I also enjoy using my scanned papers in my graphic design, so we'll see what I can do with these!

This one is so thin and delicate.

This is my favorite. Of course it was inspired by my favorite Hokusai painting, but I love this golden green too. And the texture is very soft. It's also got some metallics on it too. It's really beautiful. I really just want to frame it...

I love the colors on this too.

This is the paper that I'll probably use on a section of the notebook. Either the front or inside front cover. I haven't quite planned it all out yet.
