~SMASH-ing Thursday~

Hi everyone,

It's Thursday... and that means it's *Smash-ing Thursday*!!

Instead of a page, I wanted to share with you the cover of one of my Smash Books...

(lousy picture I know!)

It's OK to decorate them... specially if you don't like the original cover.

Like me, for example, I bought the red Smash, but didn't like much the cover...

so I covered it with patterned paper and chipboard letters (which I colored with Acrylic Paints). It's simple, but it works for me ;-)

Now, I've been asked "what can I 'smash' in my Smash Book?"

Well, after brainstorming for a while... and gathering ideas from "here and there", I compiled a few ideas that I hope you find useful:

• An All About Me book
• A Love book
• Quotes, Poems, Favorite Phrases
• A Daily Journal about your "everyday" life
• Travel & Places you visit
• Drawings & Mixed Media creations
• Pets <-- why not? ;-)
• A Scrapbook

Just so you know, my pink Smash is an "All About Me" book... and this red one is like a "Daily Journal" and is totally inspired in Ali Edward's December Daily Project. Here's the list of the topics that I came up with and am planning on following through my entire Smash Book:

• Cover <--done
• Goals
• "I had a dream..."
• Self-portrait
• Photo collage
• Random things
• Magazines & clippings
• Write a letter
• How I spend my days
• Quotes
• My favorite things
• Remembering the past
• Around the house
• 5 things about me
• Love is...
• Being silly / Just because
• Favorite places
• A song
• Shopping
• Faith
• Some things never change
• And at nights...

If you know of more themes and ideas, please email me. I'd love to hear about them and then share them with everyone else ;-)

Have a great day!!
