Smash Book, from recycled Cereal Boxes.

Smash books have become popular over the last year or so.

I see them as a diary/scrapbook/planner all smashed into one.

Its just another way to scrap our memories.

 

You can buy these books in stores, but Nothing is more special than one you create yourself.

I have seen books made using all kinds of recycled materials.

Cereal boxes seem to be in abundance in my home.

So naturally I would make my Smash book using the boxes.

 

Cut up the cereal boxes to the size you want your book.

I choose 5x7 inches.

I cut 6 pieces of cereal card boards, but you can cut however many you want your book to be.

I then cut Scrapbook papers 5x7, Mod-Podged them to the card boards, front and back.

Punched holes where I wanted my rings to go.

Then decorated as desired.

 

And waa-laa!

My Smash Book!

I added pockets in mine.

 

Envelopes are even cute to add.

 

Don't forget the ribbons and trinkets!!!

 

I made two books. One to keep and one to give away at class....

What a fun way to share.....

 

Don't Forget to sign up for classes.

 

Happy Stamping!
