DIY Smash Book


If you frequent Michael's (or Walmart...or Target!) like I do, you may have seen a Smash Book or two.  I love them.  Of course I do!  It's a journal, scrapbook, sketchpad, craft extravaganza all in one!  K&Company really out did themselves.  If you would like to see what their all about click HERE.

But if you know me, I had to DIY it.  

Here's what you need:
One of THESE Expandable Notebooks or a Small Binder
Scrapbook Paper
3 Hole Punch
Your imagination 

Punch holes in your scrap book paper and fill your book!


I filled mine with a mix of the lined paper that was left in the notebook, copy paper, and scrapbook paper.   For double sided paper, I glued them together and taped the edge for easy page flipping.


I wanted the front to look more like the product, so I used THIS TUTORIAL to cover the front.


 I'm using it for just about everything!  It's my scrapbooking/journaling/drawing/brainstorming/inpiration book!


This is probably one of my favorite pages so far!

FREEBIE!
