Notebook Review: Paperblanks 100gsm & 120gsm
Notebook Review: Paperblanks 100gsm & 120gsm
It’s been several years since I’ve tried a Paperblanks journal. I used one of their planners for a couple years but moved on to other planning systems and had sort of forgotten about Paperblanks. The most recognizable and notable aspect of Paperblanks notebooks and planners are the beautiful, often antique-inspired covers that they use which incorporate emboss and often gold. I had mentioned…
“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”

This was my attempt to make a page on my MeMe journal to look like my own tree in real life. Not perfect, but thoughts?
