This is the perfect little book to start scrapbooking before jumping into the deep end with it. It’s small and simple and just ready for you to decorate it.The papers are thick and it takes a lot to make markers bleed through. I went over the same spot with permanent markers three times before it bleed through to the next page. The papers make crayons, markers, colored pens and etc look vibrant and the blank pages just wait for you to leave your mark and make it your own.I’ll likely buy another one or gift one to a friend.
