Too much?? Not enough?? Just right??
I was wondering if you guys could help me by telling me if you think these composition books have too much stuff on them, not enough stuff, or are they just right? They are going to be gifts for my son's preschool teachers so I'd like them to look really nice.
Thanks for your help!!!

I think they both look great. Beautiful colors you used...I especially like the red one.
I think you have it perfected, nothing to add or remove!!!
Good job!

I don't know if this would be considered a hijack, but how do you cover the rounded corners and make it look neat and smooth. I am sure there is a simple answer, but I just can't wrap my mind around it. I think these are beautiful and would like to make some myself, but can't figure out how to do the rounded corners. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks, Debby

I could be completely wrong, but I don't think it's "covered", like a bookcover. My thought would be that it is done with a corner rounder, and glued on top.

I vote for Just Right- I'm partial to the red one- but they are both lovely. I have some blanks sitting somewhere in my craftroom waiting. Great job!

I think the first one is elegant in its simplicity. Overall the second one is wonderful, but I do agree with MonTigg in that the twill tape bow seems just a tad out of scale. Your son's teachers should be delighted to receive them!
