I used bubble printed paper for my zine. It turned out wonderfully. I can't wait to slip it into my husband's lunch before he goes to work tonight. I'm already thinking about what other occasions I could make this little books for. I love the idea of making them for the teachers on the 1st day of school (not as love notes of course.) What a great idea!
