Another Smash Book

Ok, now I think I might be addicted to this idea.  I raided my stash, looking to make a mini smash book that I could stick in my purse and carry around.  I was thinking this one would be more journal-like and I would write stuff in it, stick in notes, lists, etc.  At the end of the post I have links to the sites where I found the printables I used.  I included a lot of pictures with this one...let me know what you think.

 The book is roughly 6 1/2" tall by 4 1/2" wide, not including the rings.
 The covers are coin envelopes with cardstock in them for reinforcement.  I included 50 pages by the time I was done!
 Tags, printables, envelopes, OH MY!
 Some of the stuff was in my stash, I have no idea where they came from.  I just added stuff in.
 I added envelopes, and even turned a security envelope inside-out for another page/pocket.
 I found a stash of white chipboard that comes from packaging at my work and ran it through my Cuttlebug to create this page.  I used some 7 Gypsy stuff too.
 Library pocket and card...index cards...
 Journaling cards...
 I put tabs on file folder pieces...
 Ephemera from my stash...Making Memories, K and Company...others that I don't know where they came from!
 Even a business reply postcard with a journaling spot sticker.
 Index cards from photo boxes...
 The tomato soup cardstock is from a can opener that I bought a long time ago, but saved the packaging cuz it was soooooooo cute!
 Coffee sleeve...postcard...
 Another inside-out envelope.  These envelopes I had saved from return envelopes from bills.
 Paper bag, chipboard from my stash.
I covered the back of that chipboard with leftover paper I had.  I made a mini file folder from a piece of file folder.

Here are the links to the awesome sites where I found printables used in this book:

Just Something I Made
The Graphics Fairy

Stay Crafty!

  1. I love this! I especially loved that Cambell's soup packaging you saved? How old is it? They don't seem to make cute packaging anymore! Thanks for the links also
