My SMASH* Adventure - Part 1 - Disney Pages

A couple of weeks ago I had never even heard of SMASH* books but now I am completely and utterly hooked to them and it is all Carlyann's fault!
She started adding all these pages to her blog which were amazing and they totally caught my eye. I am quite nosey and had to ask her what all these amazing pages and there started my addiction! Thanks Carlyann lol. 

I ordered 2 books, a mini book and loads of accessories and sat and waited patiently on my order arriving.... Yeah right who am I kidding?! I didn't wait patiently at all.. I was literally jumping on my post woman every morning! My order arrived 2 days later and I couldn't wait to open it all up!!
What I was prepared for was how gorgeous all the papers inside are! I honestly didn't know which book to start with or what to base it on etc...
Luckily I saw a post on a Facebook page I am a part of and a challenge had been set on there simply called Disney!  I am a HUGE Walt Disney fan (I'm a big kid!!!) and I just had to sign up for this challenge. So I had what my first page was going to be, now all I had to do is choose what book to use. I finally decided on the blue book and want to share my Disney pages with you. 

This is the front cover of the blue book, I am going to alter this front cover but I have no idea as yet what I am going to do with it... 


My first two SMASH* book pages... 


A close up of page one... 


And a close up of page two... 


It is safe to say that my blue book is going to have an "All About Me" theme which is fine as a lot of people are dedicating whole book/s to themselves. Who else knows us as well as we know ourselves. 

I have done some research on SMASH* books and everyone is doing theirs completely differently. Some people have craft inspiration books, all about me books, a year in my life books, or a mixture of loads of different things. There is so many ideas out there!  SMASH*ing is like scrapbooking but I find it soo much easier. I can't do scrapbooking at all, I like randomness and throwing things together and I think scrapbooking looks best when it is clean and clear so it just didn't suit me.

There is only one rule of SMASH*ing.... There is no right or wrong way of doing it!! 

You should all definately look into SMASH*ing and if you do decide to start your own SMASH* journey please let me know so I can check out your pages.
