Anita's Scrappetizers: Smash Book

I hope you all are having a wonderful Friday! It is almost time for my kids to go to back to school and I am elated! I am trying to get back in my scrappin' groove and I am starting to work on more projects. I have been inspired by fellow bloggers and You Tubers.

I have been hearing a lot of things about Smash Books in newsletters and online. A Smash scrapbook is a way to keep photos, memorabilia and notes in a way that has not been planned or designed. The Smash books that I've seen have an attached glue pen and coordinating stickers, pens, etc.

I decided that I didn't want to spend the money on one those books because I have too many scrapbooking supplies and materials laying around, I am being cheap and I still have a little creative juices left to make my own. I'm not saying it is not worth buying but I know if I did purchase one, it would probably be near the scrapbook planner I have now.

Blank Journal

After rummaging through my closet, I found a couple of journals that had I purchased from Michaels. I distressed the edges and embellished the cover with ribbons, stickers, images from the Songbird Cricuit cartridge and a charm. I added tabs to divide the pages inside. I still need to add paper clips, pens and other accessories so this is what I have so far.
