My Pre-Smashbook...

Have you seen the promo video for the new Smashbooks? I saw this and got really excited. Check it out...



But they don't come out until April! Then I saw this post at Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's blog, and got inspired to make this...
I just decorated the cover of a composition book, but I call it my "Pre-Smashbook," cuz I'm going to use it as such until I can get ahold of the real deal in April. I used my "Kaleidescope" kit from Scarlet Lime, plus some happy tape and my little bird stamp. I will share more of the insides on Thursday, with my "Art Journal Every Day" check-in post.

I hope your weekend is going well. There is a snowstorm just starting here, so the cats and I are hunkered down in the scraproom for the day...
P.S. I just got that tape dispenser with all the colorful masking tape from CSN this week, and I love it! I'd been wanting it for a long time, and finally broke down and ordered it. More info on it here in case you are interested.

Thanks for visiting! See you soon!

Smashbooks look so cool, and so does your pre-smashbook! I love it!!! And that photo of the cats and your new tape dispenser is so great!

Hi Michelle! I love your pre-smash book and I saw the video last week of the smash-journals... but aren't we making those kind of journals ourselves already? At least YOU and I do, aren't we? Hope your weekend went along fine.
