Smash Books?

[Wonky]

I made one at the weekend. It was fun and I used up loads of old stash. It's on my blog if anyone wants to have a look. I probably definately will buy the extras when they arrive here

Well done Jo - looks good

I made a small A6 one and an A5 one.

Just realised all the paper I have in boxes that never gets used may suddenly get smashed, never seem to use paper but bought loads of it when I first started crafting.

Jo did you use a file tab punch for the tabs on your divider?

I'm gonna use this as the basis for mine:

You can get kraft coloured paper and baseball holders to fit it, i'll just add some decorative paper and make some dividers

[wedding belle]

Sorry, what are baseball holders?

[mela]

Typing too quick should say baseball card holders

Yes I did Suzy, if you're making one and don't have the punch I'd be happy to punch some cardstock and send them to you

So here is my attempt at a smash book. Let me know what you think

I think both your book and Wonkys are fab!!
Inspiring me to have a go, ladies.

What make is your tab punch Jo!

It's interesting - does anyone else think the smash book is a bit like a paper version of Pintrest? A place to collect all the stuff that appeals to you, for whatever reason?

I think that would be a great use for it, maryAnne - I collect all sorts of bits & pieces intending to scrap them eventually - but they are lie in piles!!!

Someone mentioned baseball card holders - I have some of those (DH is thankfully no more into Pokemon LOL!) and some slide sheets as well, which might be interesting cut in strips, maybe, and attached to the pages for small things like matchbooks etc.

I should do a library link post collecting all this into one place - it would be handy to have a permanent place to go to find all the info in one place

Oh and to add - might be handy to use that hair band idea for a pen holder - let me see .... I'm pretty sure the site was something like Jewels paper jewels? I'll have a look. and what about those little collapsable japanese scissors that fold up with the tips enclosed? They would fit in a slide holder
