[@hloserh]

[@manda_made]

Awe! Thank you so much. It's given me a fun creative outlet the last few years. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@bujowithbeans]

your spreads are so gorgeous!! i loved this flipthrough! i’ll have to come back to this when setting up my 2025 journal 💕

[@manda_made]

Awe! Thanks friend. I’m glad it inspired you. 🥰

[@pipa853]

It was very cool to see all of the spreads and I got a lot of inspiration for my own book journal! Excited to see the set up for the new one :)

[@manda_made]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

Love everything about this!

[@manda_made]

Thanks book bestie! I'm glad you found some inspiration here. 🥰

[@emxeliz]

I absolutely love your style omg such a pretty journal 💘 wow

[@manda_made]

Thank you so much!!

[@RyeMiArt]

So many beautiful and interesting spreads! I love what you did with square journal layout. I just finished the first book in Shades of Magic series, I LOVE your spread for it! You can maybe leave the pages blank so you could cut them out and use in new journal if needed. And the new one is stunning! I adore the colour you chose. I'd love to have a square journal but the shipping from a&o is extreme lately (i know, not their fault) and i haven't seen square journals anywhere else or they were not shipping to slovakia :/

[@manda_made]

Thank you RyeMi! Its such a beautiful series. I love VE Schwab's writing style. I was hooked from the first page. I believe that A&O are working on getting their products in to international stores, so maybe soon you'll be able to ship from a closer country.

@@manda_made ohhh i hope so :D

[@o1iviav]

love love love your journal setup!! the colors and patterns are so fun!! quick question because i’m curious, what made you set up your tbr horizontally instead of vertically? thanks 🩷

[@manda_made]

That is an excellent question! I set it up vertically last year because I was using a more narrow A5 size journal, and having the spread vertical allowed me more space to write across. I suppose it didn't matter for this journal though since its a square! haha. I've never thought about it, but now I'm excited to switch it up next year. Thank you so much for watching! I hope you got lots of ideas for your journal.

Your journal is beautiful…..a lot of inspiration here! May I ask what type of paper you’re using for your book photos?

[@manda_made]

Thank you! 🍓🫶🏼 I use the A-Sub photo paper from Amazon. It’s 66lb (thick like cardstock) and very shiny. Here’s the link though: a.co/d/0dTUHJUL I’m also trying out this style. It’s like a magazine paper feel (thin, less shiny) and I like this for most images now. If I’m creating a flap I’ll use the thicker one. a.co/d/0hvBdylk

[@ronettewinston1706]

@@manda_made thank you so much!

[@manda_made]

@@ronettewinston1706 of course! I’ve found that any printer when matched with the right type of paper, will give you a good print. Since I use a photo printer, photo paper works well and copy paper does not. It stinks that there is so much trial and error involved. Good luck!
