So, you want to make a smash book....
I love the new books and love the idea of them, so once I found a need for one I decided to make my own. I used only things in my stash, primarily some vintage Crate Paper called Baby Bee that I'd been hoarding ;) and some Chloe's Closet by Making Memories. I tucked in some smaller super fun papers by Glitz Design and some Kraft envelopes by Maya Road. I also threw in some Cosmo Cricket The Boyfriend and Earth Love for good measure. I love mixing brands and product lines that just seem like they were meant for each other. :) Chris (chrispea) did some great paper designs and is generously sharing them with us on her YouTube video on how to make your own smash book. I added in several pockets, envelopes of various sizes as well as some border strips left open in the center so I could attach paper clips to them to add things to them later on. I made six tabbed sections for my particular use for this book, but you can certainly customize it to your needs. Hope you enjoy looking at this as much as I did making it! Thanks for stopping by!

Vraiment génial! iLike!
This is so cool!
i hate how everyone thinks everyone else's SO-CALLED smash books are 'so cool' when it's really just super lame. my smash books are alwayas better (and i'm using the ones by k&company, THANK YOU!) so lame to make a homemade one and "smash it"! you are all NOT CREATIVE! don't overstuff them, and don't use things like coasters. they're too thick & heavy. make sure you can close the book like a BOOK. my stuff is better, so :p!
