The inside panel has been hand stitched around the edges and then distressed. The image is from Lunagirl .com 'Butterfly Cards'. I don't think they are still trading. I have had in my stash for a very long time. The back cover has the same image inside too.
I hand stitched some pockets from freebie design papers.I think they are all from Making cards magazine collected over the years and inserted amongst the pages.
I made a matching pen using a biro infill and more design paper.

Your notebook is a labour of love, Mrs A, how many stitching! Love the butterfly with the blanket stitching and the pockets inside look fabulous with those papers! Also the pen look very professional. Very well done!!
that looks great! I like the idea of using the papers from the magazines for the inside, I know I have a lot of them and they are nice and thin, not to bulky.
Beautiful notebook and matching pen. Love that butterfly!
