I have journaled, doodled, cut, glued and pasted in notebooks since 1985! I had no idea it had a name. Smash Book! Instead of just doing it in a composition notebook, I searched YouTube and found all these super cute videos and decided to make my own since I already have all the supplies. Here is the book I made using cardboard, lots of cardstock and my bind it all!
Here is one of my pages:

I have been hearing about SMASH books but didn't quite understand what they were.. I think I understand a little more about them from your video... Love your page..
ReplyDeleteIve been working on one too! It's funny though, growing up, our version of a smash book was like the slam book in Mean Girls. You'd write the name of a person and people would tell how they feel about them in the book lol. I'll have to share mine when done :)
ReplyDeleteThat book is so great! And your Halloween page is adorable! :)

Very cool. Love your monster with all the arms. I'm making one of these Smash Books for my nieces birthday. I went on line and seen what options there were to go with the Smash Book I decided to make everything. So all the cut outs, phrases, note pads will be all custom for her. The best part is going to all her personal phrases that she says will be made for her to post in her book. I can use the Cricut machine for that. I think I might be more excited than she will be.
