Smash Book

I was at Wal-Mart last night and while in the scrapbook aisle found a book called a Smash Book. They had all sorts of colors and things to go with it. Apparently you put whatever you want into it. It was $12 for the book, pen/glue stick 2-in-1. I have been missing the hands on traditional scrapbooking but I love the freedom of using stuff more then once with digital. So I bought the Red Doodle book with some extra's (pockets, journal cards, tape and some calendar pages). I'm using it for the things that I want to keep but don't want to just toss in a jar (like ticket stubs, letters from the kids).

I took some pictures of some of the pages I've started on. There are really no rules which I like. I can put whatever I want wherever I want. Each colored book has a different theme/colors. You can see more online (there's even a video). I'm buying one for my sister & sister-in-law for Christmas.

The video about it is here: http://youtu.be/XmaWY7Wk0qA

I have been thinking of getting one...but it has been years since I kept a notebook that didn't have grocery lists in it. LOL
 
I love these. I so wanted to find an app for my ipad that would allow me to do something like this. I found some that are great for doodling, but don't allow me to add pictures and things and I found some that I can make a picture collage with but don't have great doodling tools. Anyone ever found an app for something like this? Otherwise I might just need to pick up one like that and do it "manually" lol :)

Oh that would be awesome! They probably couldn't do it this year but if you e-mail the company they may do one for next year. They have a 365 themed one on their website.
 
I got one of these and used for my boys summer book. We kept a journal of things we did over the summer and I liked that we were able to add things to it like bracelets from events, tickets, etc.

I think a December Daily one would be good in this format! would love to see one that was for that theme.
 
Oh I have to go to Walmart later. I think I'm going to look for this. I really need to start some hands on crafting and I don't have a printer yet for Hybrid scrapping :/
 
I've really been wanting to do one! I've asked my inlaws for one & lots of extras for Christmas! Hopefully! :)
 
I will say that some Wal-Marts can be hit or miss on it. The Wal-Mart right by my house has a pretty decent size display of items for it. The Wal-Mart by my school has nothing and the Wal-Mart by my parents had 2 books and a handful of extra's for it. I'm going to try Micheal's this weekend to see what they have.
 
My girls are sooo in love with smashbooks. My mom got them books and all the accessories for Christmas. They are going to be so excited!!
