Interactive, colorful and innovative – that pretty much sums up the Over the Rainbow Journal from Papergram ($16). Each page inside is French-folded so you see a faint color show through the white writing areas. You have to tear the perforations to open up to the fully saturated hue on the inside folds, which you can then take advantage of increased surface area. This journal provides an inspiring and creative way to take notes or write down deep thoughts. [buy it]
