Do you have a SMASH Book? Do you know what a SMASH Book is?
In my opinion it's the coolest new thing ever! If you haven't stumbled upon this creative new brand, check out the quick video below. It explains everything.
Isn't that cool? The last few times I've been to Micheals I have seen these on a big endcap but I've never taken the time to stop and really look at them. Then I saw them online and watched the YouTube video and went out and bought one the next day!
My SMASH Book in Doodle Red
This isn't a new trend really. It's like a new take on scrapbooking. People have kept scrapbooks and "junk journals" for years. They put in all the little things that they don't want to throw away like receipts, notes, ticket stubs, greeting cards, pictures, name tags, anything and everything.
Here are some suggestions from the book

I've always wanted to be a scrapbooker but it takes a lot of time and creativity to plan out all the page themes and get the pictures around. I haven't been able to keep up on one yet.
What's great about the SMASH Book is that all the pages are already taken care of for you. They come in all kinds of styles of paper already neatly bound in a really cute book.
Some of my favorite Doodle Style Pages
And the absolute best part about the entire package...
The Pen
The pen with the glue stick in it! Honestly, the pen is what sold me. I just can't get over how truly ingenious it is! And it has its own little spot to keep it with the book.
For my first page I put in the receipt for my book with some doodles and notes. I have a feeling that I am going to really like this smashing thing!

I love this post. As a matter of fact, I smashed today. :) I got my book a few weeks ago and started cutting out little quips of encouragement and putting in there. Today I spent several hours putting things in there. --I like it better than scrap-booking. --It feels more free as it doesn't have to be photos of my actual life.

This sounds too fun! Having an all in one pen is brilliant, and I think I need one of these books ASAP. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteI really have to start an official one of these....I am more of an art journaler and sketchbook kinda' girl...but I keep many bits of paper..and this would be the perfect solution. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hey!! I love this new scrapbooking idea! Sounds fun!! Hello from the Moms Monday Mingle!!! www.billiejean.typepad.com ...take care!!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea what a smash book was. I initial thought it was something along the lines of a smash cake but I usually have cake on the brain :). Now, I want both a smash book and a smash cake.
ReplyDeleteI make my own smash books using those composition notebooks. I cover the front in scrapbook paper and then put pictures, receipts, and just little things I want to remember from a trip. Right now the only one I have in the works is a travel one.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried smash books. Seems really cool! Thanks for sharing this week at Gettin' Krafty With It!
ReplyDeleteI love my Smashbook and my Walmart has these now!
