Review on Strathmore 566-5 500 Series Hardbound Mixed Media Art Journal, 5.5 x 8.5 Inches, White, 32 Pages by Alisha Bradley

My wife and I bought this sketchbook to make a wedding guest book. Perfect. People used many different types of pens and paints, and the ink didn't smear or bleed. We used photo corners to create pockets so people can put instax photos on their page and they will stick well on the paper and stay in place. .Bad: Since we had instax photos on each page, we can no longer close the sketchbook. This is due to the binding style, which doesn't leave much room to expand or change the thickness of the pages. This isn't the intended use of a sketchbook, so I'm not going to slam the company or the product, just pointing out if you'll use it slightly differently than intended. Finally, my wife and I love the sketchbook. - I'll probably take a few different sizes for the sketch too!
