Do you Smash?

The latest craze in scrapbooking are Smash Books. Truth be told, the concept isn't new but I have to give a mad tip of the cap to their marketing. Here is their killer video that just gets you hooked:



Even the girl got hooked! So then I figured I definitely have enough paper and other supplies, including a Bind-It-All , so why not make our own Smash Book? I found a great tutorial for a near replica of a Smash Book on Francine Clouden's blog, but we decided to try her lovely simple spiral-bound journal first.

Ta-da!


Here are some of the papers Velina chose--LOVE these polka dots:


I was crazy about this bird paper--glad it's being used!


Velina also chose this lovely flower paper--man, what was I saving it for?


And here is some of her "smashing"--spontaneous penny art:


And some pix of her friends that she cut and wrote around:


Smashing, right?
