To create this little journal, I used just two A3 sheets. I cut each A3 sheet into four A5 sheets, giving me a total of eight sheets. I painted the backgrounds on all eight sheets, front and back. For the cover, I used a slightly heavier cardstock paper, painted the front using the same technique, and pasted a colored paper on the inside.
