I thought it would be fun to share a Smash page for each of my loves...
I like to use ribbon on my pages. I lay it flat, apply two sided tape, and then press it down the length of the page-- usually with a little extra on each end. I think it's pretty to have little papers, ribbons, and material hanging out of the books. They look worn and loved that way.
Which they are:).
And I have officially collected every possible book. The only one I haven't actually used yet is the green one. The new big ones are my favorites. But I think the regular size books are just the cutest lined up along a shelf. I want to find a fun way to incorporate them into my craft area decor...so they add a pop of color and are easily pulled down and enjoyed!
Where do you keep your journals/scrapbooks/Smash books??
Do you allow others to peek through them?

ummmm it depends who it is, I usually put about personal stuff, my dreams, my inspirations, stuff about my family, what inspires me, etc. I don't know if I could share what I write, maybe a few things =0)....I keep my SMASH books in one of my crafty closets hehe
ReplyDeleteLove these Pages Krista! I have just finished a page last nite about my Hubby! I will show it to him when he gets home from an interstate trip tonight! Otherwise I haven't really shown people my smash books!
ReplyDeletei find your smash books so inspiring! i currently have 2 smashbooks. i'm thinking one will be more public, and the other private, more like a journal, i think! happy weekend, friend!
ReplyDeleteI keep my scrapbooks on a shelf in my living room and I am thrilled whenever anyone looks through them.

What a wonderful "smash"!!! I can't wait to start on mine - it will be chalk full of the US! I keep up with your every post with google reader and now have the "time" to comment :) Come join me for candies and you'll see why - soooooo exciting! wendy xx
ReplyDeleteLove your books, so fabulous and a brilliant way of marking time....anyone can look at the couple of scrapbooks I have, it's something I love to do and don't do enough...have fun..xx
ReplyDeleteThese pages are gorgeous keepsakes & I love your idea with the ribbon. I love your freedom in creating with them - it's a very precious gift. As a child I kept journals & then it became a compulsive habit to the exclusion of other things.......thankfully under control these days thanks to medication. The love I can see in your creating is beautiful............thank you for making me smile!

Gorgeous pages - as yet I haven't attempted anything like this, all of my boy's pics were taken before we owned a digital camera. But they are all up in the loft and I am planning on getting someone to get them for me, I'm inspired to make books for myself to keep. I love the list you wrote detailed what Niamh played at 8, love that! Thanks for sharing. Zo xx
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! love the page about your hubby, so cute

I love your pages. What a great family you have.
ReplyDeleteI keep my Smash books right in the middle of all my crafty space, which is right in the middle of my living room. So anyone is able to look through it.
I only have one SMASH book (orange) for far and the only ones interested in seeing them are my kids, and yes I let them. I really would like for them to be interested in just being creative and free to be creative. Not only my daughter but my son too. You have a beautiful family and I love your pages. Very Creative. TFS
ReplyDeleteI totally just bought a green smash book and my hubs bought the orange. I'd like to buy them all as well as the mini version. (And maybe the entire line of stuff to go with them.)
ReplyDeleteAwesome creativity. I currently do not have any smash books.
ReplyDeleteI love those pages. I have my scrapbooks & smashbooks on shelves in my craft room. They have to be organized better though.
ReplyDeleteOh your pages are beautiful, all your work is wonderful.I don't have any smash books. But that might change soon, they seem like so much fun. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI have tucked many things into my red Smash book! I bought the orange one recently, though it's still pristine. My red one lives right next to my chair in the FR. I LOVE having a place to stash the comics I must keep, bits of candy wrappers and many other random things!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new baby and wedding books - though I really wish they'd put them out in the smaller size. I haven't bought either yet, though I am thinking about it. Seriously. On my "must buy NOW" list, to be taken to various stores as soon as I find a new job!
I started a Smash book but need to return to it. I love the concept. You have a great blog :) Love some sponsor info if you take sponsors. I have a new blog and would to be on your page. Found you on the Wiegand hop. Love for you to stop by and say hi at Naptime Review. Love a follow back ;)
