My version of The *Smash* book

If you are looking for my Trendy Twine Giveaway, click here.

Hi Everyone! :)
This is my second post today.
I saw the Smash Books that K&Co. recently came out with and of course they are really hard to come by, so I thought I would make my own.
I bought a bunch of notebooks/journals during the after Christmas Sale at Barnes & Nobles for $1-$3.
Here is one I altered for this project and also for the Queen of My Craftroom Design Team Project.
I took the spiral binding off and measured everything, covered my front and back. Made divider pages out of cereal box chipboard and put pockets and divider tabs on them.
I used all of my favorite patterned papers and colors with the exception of purple! ;)
Then I used  my Crop-a-dile and made holes for the spiral ring.
I glued everything with my ATG and Tombow Multi adhesive.
You can do this with a Cinch or Bind it all but I dont have one.
I love how it turned out!

My *SMASH* Book!! :)
 

 

Tabs I made for it with my McGill Tab Punch and G Studio Alphabet Script stamps.

Some of my Favorite patterned Paper that I used for pages and for the Divider pockets.

The Back Cover.


I used several different Cartridges, Wall Decor & More, Lovely Floral, Lacy Labels.
The papers were all from my stash and for the ones I remember they were American Crafts Everyday, Stampin Up Designer packs, Stampin Up Pretty In Pink, Old Olive, Pink Pirouette.


Make sure to stop by the Queen of My Craftroom Blog to see what the other designers Altered this week for Monday Mojo.
