50 Lovely and Inspiration Designs plus extras printed on one side of heavyweight perforated paper

This is a really wonderful coloring book filled with many Christian-based designs. The coloring book has 50 pages of designs and additional bookmarks, tags, and cards that you can color and cut out for your use. The designs are by Amylee Weeks and have a beautiful hand-drawn sketch look to them. The Bible quotes are taken from a variety of translations: Holy Bible, New International Version NIV, Holy Bible, New Living Translation, and New King Jams Version.

I really appreciate that almost every page in the coloring book has a Christian message. I’ve purchased other books that have a lot of coloring but only a few pages devoted to Christian principles. I like those books but I have wanted books more like this one, too. In these designs, there are three styles: 1) design with a Bible quote; 2) designs with an inspirational message and a Bible quote in smaller font to support the message; and finally, 3) a design with an inspirational message.

The book is very well made with a cover made of hardboard. The designs are printed on one side only of heavyweight perforated paper. The binding is at the top and is spiral bound. I really appreciate this binding as you can flip to any page and have access to the entire design. The cover then becomes a portable desk which allows you to color easily when on-the-go.

A few of the designs extend beyond the perforations, which is a little frustrating. I won’t remove these from the book as I will lose a bit of the design if I do. This could be easily solved in future additions to this series by sizing the design to fit below the perforations.

All of my alcohol-based markers bled through but none of my water-based ones did. Gel pens worked well and did not bleed through or leave shadows at the back. Coloring pencils worked nicely as well and behaved according to their type of lead (soft/hard core.) You can put a piece of card stock or chipboard below the page you are working on to keep ink from leaking through. I will list the coloring mediums I tested in the comments area for anyone interested.
