Homemade Smash Book

Hello everyone! I made my first homemade smash book for my grandson last week. I am very happy with how it turned out and so was he. He said "Nana, wow you made this?!" and immediately started writing in it. Made me feel good :-) I already have 2 requests for smash books. I had alot of fun making this and I do see alot more of this type project in my future! LOL

 

I watched the video tutorials called Homemade Smash Book Series by Babytweetums on youtube. I love her tutorials, she is very detailed and explains everything perfectly. I pretty much followed exactly what she did in her tutorial. In the first video she gives a list of all the supplies you will need and links to printable pages. Here is her blog Schells Craft Corner. So Schell, if you ever read this, thanks so much for the videos!!
