I'm still filming over the kitchen counter but today's video isn't a recipe. I am SO excited to share my new Smashbook Folio Bundle with you. I have been longing after one of these folios for a while (they've been out for a couple of years now) but resisted because I never thought I'd really use it and because I figured I can make my own journals using my bind-it-all and some cardboard.
However, you may know I'm a sucker for any kind of 'kit' and when I saw this bundle at Michael's I couldn't hold out any longer. The bundle was $29.99, already a great deal for all the stuff you get, BUT of course I used my 50% off coupon and got it for $15 bucks! Now THAT is the deal of the century. Usually a book alone costs more than that here in Canada!
I show you everything you get in the kit on the video but I'll tell you it is a super starting point for this totally fun way of keeping a journal. You get the album and 85 assorted accessories, plus a mini book for your purse!!!
Once I started creating my pages and having such a blast doing it, I was raving to my daughter about it and got her going. She was so disappointed, after visiting 2 Michael's stores in her city, that they were completely sold out! If you want to try this awesome craft and you see the bundles, grab 'em!!!
As a 'serious' scrapbooker (which I still love and hold in the highest regard) the Smashbook was a totally relaxed and creative, fun approach to keep a journal. There is no right or wrong, no rules, and you don't have to worry about neatness, design, photo-safety or spelling! Just 'live it up, glue it down, and SMASH it in"!
P.S. After creating my first pages in the journal late the evening I bought the kit, I couldn't even sleep I was so pumped and excited! This really got my creative mojo into gear!
Update:...since I got such a good deal on the bundle...I ended up ordering another $37 in fun (and so cute!) accessories! (me=sucker!)
