Finished this beauty recently! Handmade from sketchbook paper with an up-cycled leather-look cover (used to be a handbag), fancy hand stitching on the spine and a key closer attached with a suede cord that goes into a place holder inside.

Really enjoyed sewing up the signatures, very satisfying:
They’re actually a little loose I think, but as a first attempt I think it worked quite well.
Very pleased with the finished result:
