So I found this video the other day...
...and it got me thinking a bit.
Have any of you got into the craft of smashing yet? It kind of looks like scrapbooking but on a much more personal scale.
Then I started to realize something about myself. I have a fabric, sewing and craft "smash" book that i have been keeping all my ideas in and never knew there was a term for it. Maybe the name is new and the concept is old, IDK. I also wondered what made a smash book (from a kit like in the video or not) different from just keeping a hard covered art book, a very nice ink pen, and a glue stick? Maybe it is for people who want the kitschy pre-made design kit? I mean, the kit is cute (although I'd like to hope the books don't have the same patterned pages in them because I really didn't like some of the designs inside) but I kind of wonder if I am just better off getting myself a new black hard-covered art book and smash it myself? ;-)
Anyway, was curious to know what you all thought of this trend... if it is one.
I did this in highschool now it has a 'name' because they branded it. LOL. I don't see the point in buying the kit unless you feel you need the creative direction, which you probably don't.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a Plan, Pretty cool To something to keep and share with the grand kids someday =P
ReplyDeleteThat is what I was thinking as well Jeanette. Unless I feel absolutely clueless on how to do a project (like scrap booking... I just can't wrap my head around that craft yet), then I tend to try my best to figure out how in the world I can make my own so it is even more original than just what I put in the pages inside. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just realized the other day I shared a couple of my art books and I "smash booked" the inside and outside covers of both of them. LOL! My daughter thought they were super cool regardless. :-D
