Falling in love again with my A6 Captain America TN

I have constantly been struggling with choosing the right size for my TN and I have gone through many changes through the years: from Field Notes to LMC to A5 to A6 and finally to RS. I have now gone one step back to A6.

I have reviewed my A6 TNs and my Captain America TN was housing my Hobonichi. I moved it back to its original cover and I created 2 brand new notebooks.

It's really difficult for me to find a shop that stocks some really nice scrapbook paper that I usually use for my covers. So I had to get creative and I found a good way to make my covers pop. Since the notebooks were going to be used for specific purposes, I decided to google some pictures that I could later print and stick on the covers and it worked like a charm!

I am really pleased with the results!

After I let the final layer of marker dry, the end result looked pretty good so I decided to leave it at that. I smoothed in some olive oil and let it dry overnight. Then I got some colourless shoe cream and I applied it on the leather. I have to say that even though I was really disappointed at first, I am loving the end result! It's a bit rough around the edges but I think it's perfect!

Here's a multitude of pictures to show how gorgeous it has turned out:

 

And here it is now together with Lil' Wade:

 Right now, I'm using the Captain America TN with my Hobonichi and Lil' Wade has 2 notebooks that I use for random note taking and project prepping. I'm thinking about maybe swapping notebooks and covers.

One last thing I would like to add if I find what I'm looking for would be red elastic band for closure and for holding the inserts. Now how cool would that be?
