Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024
The only flaws is that the paper only comes in tones grey or this off cream type color. There’s not an option for just plain white paper. I wish there was an option for just plain paper but it’s fun to experiment with the tones grey that I choose, it’s different! The other issue is that, the paper is SO thick that the pages do not lay flat, you have to have a paper weight or something similar to kinda keep the pages from collapsing in on you. Which isn’t a deal breaker for me
Other than that, I’d definitely buy this art journal again!!
