OK, it's more wallpaper, the same townhouse border I used in the last book. But this welcome journal - guest book - housewarming gift is a different style. This time the border strip of townhouses is not die cut. I glued the whole strip onto a piece of dark blue textured wallpaper and lined the whole cover for added strength with another piece of paper in a cloud pattern.
This is a larger book than I usually make -- notebook size. I used 11"x17" gray text paper folded into signatures for the pages. Four signatures and a total of 40 pages (80 counting both sides). I printed out the word "Welcome" in dark blue ink on wheat colored paper and glued it to the bottom left corner of the cover.
The guest book is bound with a long stitch binding with blue waxed linen thread. The guest book feels a lot more substantial than you'd expect from simple wallpaper.
I think this would be way cool on an entry table for guests to sign their names and comments. A nice remembrance of friends and family.
