A couple more Smash Books

I have finally started crafting again. Summer is always hard for me to get motivated to craft. My craft room is upstairs and its way too hot up there. The heat saps my energy and all my brain cells, so no crafting for a couple of months. Also, the One Hour Challenge over on the Cricut MB took a break and they were a big part of my crafting mojo. We are starting up again today and Im ready with some projects. I made 2 smash books last week, one for the daughter of a good friend, she started High School last week. I used Varsity Letter, I love the font, and Indie Art. The 2nd is for my niece, I used Home Decor. 

 

Smash Book

Smash Books have become very popular and the newest scrappy craze. They are basically journals, but what I like about them is that they encourage your creative side as well as jotting down your thoughts. I made these books for my sisters. I used a sketching pad that I bought at Michaels, my friend Suzanne shared this idea, thanks Suzanne. I like them because the paper is blank and thicker than a composition book, great for gluing, embellishing & writing. I covered the front, added embellishments and started a few of the pages for them.
