Get SMASHed

I do love getting SMASHed . . .

I have recently spent some “me” time
which entails some serious
mucking around and getting dirty!

SO much fun!

Check out the following photos of my latest SMASH efforts.

 This BAG is the key to my continued SMASHing.

I collect all manner of odds and ends and through them in this bag.
Whenever I want to SMASH, all I do is open my SMASH bag
and start
cutting, glueing and journalling!

So how do you SMASH?

SMASH Journals

I have these products arriving ANY DAY. God I am so excited.

I have created this list of youtube tutes to get you inspired,
get you creating and get you smashing!

I am using mine to commemorate my 18 month relationship with the Polar Bear. He may have unceremoniously walked away from ‘us, but in my opinion this does not define our relationship. So . . .

. . . . my SMASH journal will be a celebration of what I enjoyed about being with the Polar Bear and his family.

So load up each youtube vid and have fun.

I did!
I did :)
