Do You Smash?

First I would like to apologize for two things. The first being that I have not kept up on this blog. I am going to try to change that in 2012 and upload at least twice a week. One of my resolutions is to spend some more time creating. The second is that I did not flip a couple of these pics before posting and am being lazy and not taking the time to learn how to fix them on here. SO just flip your monitor or your head to view them and I promise to take more time on future posts :-)

Now with all of that being said, the first things I want to share for 2012 are these awesome Smash books. Do you smash? Do you know what smashing is all about? Well, I love these journals and am having so much fun creating in them. The one in the back I got at the Scrapbook Expo in Chicago this past summer. Basically it is just a place to hold all the random crap I find interesting in my life. It varies from one topic to the next and really has no rhyme or reason -- that is why I love it! It is not complete yet, but I did want to show you what I have done in it so far. The second is one my secret Santa (Martha who is not a secret anymore) gave me. This one actually does have a purpose and I worked a few hours on it yesterday. You can't tell, but I used masks to write the word "PHAT" on it and glimmer misted it with the mist that she sent too :-) I really like how the cover came out. It simply is about one of my resolutions for the year. I shared the first page (it is one of the ones that needs to be flipped) and I promise to share the rest of the book when I am done. Totally excited about it! Thank you Martha! I love it!!!!

 Thanks for stopping by! See you soon :-) My next upload is Christmas related and should be up in a few days :-) I can't wait. It is all super duper cute!!!!!

Hey Betsie, glad to see your work again!! Love your smash book, haven't attempted one myself and probably won't, ha ha.

YW! I wasn't interested at all until I bought yours and saw the stuff IRL and fondled it a bit... LOL Now I must have one all for me to put my random crap into, too. :) :) :)

I'm so glad you got a nice package from your secret sister --- I have no doubts that Martha would spoil you rotten!
I havent made a smash book yet, but I have started gathering a few items that I want to use to make one. I am going to start a spring garden and plan to smash the ups and downs of it... can't wait!

I posted about this idea over on OSU a few months ago. ;) There's a link to a blog and everything!! I love the idea and kept meaning to put together my own. I even bought the big rubberbands to hold it together but never got around to making it!!!!

Love how you put yours together!
