There is this fantastic product called a SMASHbook that is basically a more casual, quicker, easier way to scrapbook for those of us lazier types. You just smash whatever you want into your book, and the pages come pre-decorated, so you don’t have to worry about it too much. I collect bits and pieces from all the events, shows, and places I travel to, and then I don’t end up doing anything with them. So when I first saw this, I loved it.
I got a kit for my birthday with a retro blue book.
(I haven’t decorated the cover yet.) The kit also included decorative tape, pockets. a mini notepad, a pen that has a glue stick at the other end, and a few other things, and I’ve been smashing in it enthusiastically ever since. Here are a few of the pages from my SMASHbook so far:
Just some of the bunches of stuff I had to smash in from my trip to London and Cardiff.
I also smashed about my job:
and my kitty cat!
I also have pages about the weddings/showers I’ve been going to this season, my trip to Detroit a couple weeks ago, and other random stuff. I may post more about smashing at some point since I have so much fun with it, but I wanted to share a bit about it with you all now. 🙂
K&Company says it well on the SMASH website:
“For all the things that matter,
And for all the things that don’t.
For all the stuff that’s too good to forget.
For any reason and for no good reason at all.
For all the good ideas, life lists,
Conversations & happenings…
Live it up, glue it down, and SMASH it in.
Looks good for those that want to do this but have little time to devote to it. Glad to see my kind words saved for eternity in a book too 🙂
I thought you might appreciate that. 🙂
I have decided to give one of these to my daughter to record her summer…she spends two weeks with me and then two weeks with her dad…this way I don’t get a blank stare when she comes back and i ask her what she did at dads’ 🙂
Hahaha, nice. She should have fun with it! 🙂
I LOVE Smashbooking! It’s so much fun! Thanks for sharing your pages! Love them! Especially the Doctor Who one 🙂
I’m glad you love them! That was from when I went to the Doctor Who convention in Cardiff – it was a blast! I’d love to see your Smashbooking pages, too.
I stalked pictures online from people who went, I’m so jealous! It looked like so much fun! I’m definitely going to have to go to one!
I’m hoping to put up pictures soon, it’s just so easy! I keep purchasing stickers, little envelopes and things for it. I founds it’s more fun than scrapbooking!
I love smash books! I’m working on one myself 🙂
Yours looks amazing!
Thanks! I’d like to see yours, too, if you want to post some pages. 🙂
I’d love to post some pictures! I just gotta remember to take them the next time I work on the smash book lol
Reblogged this on thejensspin.
