SMASH* Adventures Part 7 - All About The Craze
I thought i'd pop by and share a little more of my SMASH* adventures with you! I must admit i'm not far done with my Retro Blue folio now i've even started (well i say started) not so nearly finished with the orange folio either now lol i've gone and delved right into my books! I've had so many lovely e-mails from my followers and friends asking me lots of questions about my books and things about them so i thought i'd do a little Q&A post!
Where do you buy your SMASH* Books from?
There are quite a few craft companies here in the UK that stock SMASH* such as...
*Crafts u love
*Oyster Stamps
*Craft Obsessions
*Craft Island
Though my personal choice is Oyster Stamps they're not only the cheapest but also there customer service is fantastic!
What about accessories?
I do use the SMASH* accessories alongside my books however i find myself digging to the bottom of drawers in my craftroom for those embellishments i brought years ago that haven't seen daylight for so long. You can use virtually anything crafty in your books! here's a few ideas:
*Peel offs
*Journal pages/tags*Ribbons and scrap papers
the list is endless really!!!
What do I SMASH* ????
Anything Really tho i have one of each colour theme SMASH* book now so i've decieded to keep each book on a topic.... here's an idea of what i mean...
*Retro blue folio - All About Me
*Simple Orange folio - Craft Inspiration
etc etc you can keep your smash* books on any type of theme! Here's a few piccys i've not shown before of my blue folio...

2 Lil messages from my bloggy friends!:
I have a Smash album and although I love the concept, I am a little intimidated. I have started and plan to work on it this year. It's funny since I love scrapping and card making and love the fact that there are NO rules when it comes to those crafts. I will just have to run at it and see what happens. Thanks for all the advice! :)
Hey lil sis
Loving the smash books and most of all the pinks accents here and there.
I actually have a "smash" book I did when I was a teenager-I won't tell you what year it is from...lol
I saved everything and was into animals ,I laugh every time I look through it.
I really should take the time to start a new one.
Thanks for sharing
Oh yea I love Pinterest for inspiration.
Hugs sweetie
