SMASH book

The idea of a SMASH book is that you can smash whatever you want into this book. Whether it be pictures, receipts, pieces of things you find about your day that you'd like to hang on to that you don't have anything else to do with it. You can write in it, glue in a page from a magazine, a lucky penny you found on the street. You can do whatever you want with it! My friend Tamara and I decided to create our own smash books about 6 months ago and I have been filling mine up. Here is a quick pic of mine:



My friend Lauren, from Ten23Designs, hosted an awesome New Year's Giveaway contest and I thought I would make a Smash book for one of her give away items! Here are some pictures of the book. Included in the book are misc pages of scrapbook paper, fun colored envelopes and clear plastic pages to put in whatever you'd like.









The winner of my Smash book will be receiving it soon...it's in the mail!!

wall letters for my nephew

My sweet nephew, Vance, needed letters for his awesome nursery....I would have made them prior to his birth, but since his name was kept a secret, I had to wait until after he was born to get busy on them. I tried to match the owl/deer/naturistic theme he had going on. Found some cute scrapbook paper, and just used brown ribbon to finish the edges. I think they turned out cute and they fit well with the theme. I love you little Vance!



(Do you see him in there sleeping peacefully?!?!)

Here is a close up:



and here are the paintings i did for the room for her shower gift, hanging above his changing table :
