Okay so I have told you my whole SMASH* experience but I feel now I should show you some of my Smash book!
This is an overview of my first ever Smash book page I did in May 2013.
To create some of my embellishments I used my Cricut machine. I LOVE my cricut! In fact yesterday I just bought some sparkly new mats for it so I am especially loving it currently!
To create this page I printed out some pictures of my face and a few things that I love (starbucks and my kindle!). I cut out my name and the flower with my cricut. I then cut out a rectangle piece of paper to do my journalling and used an orange promarker to go around the edges. To create the corner pieces I used a scalloped circle I already had an cut it into quaters.
On this page I did very similar things as the other page so that it flowed nicely. The black pieces you see were made using my dymo omega. I LOVE my dymo! When I got it, I went around labelling everything and gave everyone in my house a name tag! We used to have one when I was a little girl I am sure. They have been around for years however now they make a lot more electronic label makers. I prefer the look the embossed labels give though.
On this page I used a pink promarker to go around the journalling. I like how the edges of the marker are not straight. I used to hate it if things were perfect and now I do things like making wobbly lines on purpose!
If you look carefully you will see an arrow going down the page. To do this I used some yellow bakers twine and glued it down in the shape of an arrow. This was a total after thought because I had just got my twine and wanted to use it!
I love journalling in my smash books. I love relaying my memories in a book as it helps me remember them so much better! Especially if there is a picture attached too!
I shall stop writing now!
Hope you're well xx
