Okay, so first I must point out that whenever I think of the word "SMASH" I actually start singing this song in my head...but replacing "slam" with "smash." Don't you love how I can just casually incorporate 90's hip-hop with scrapbooking?! You can all thank me at 2 a.m. when that song is stuck in your head. ;)
Anywho...since they debuted a year ago, I've been eyeing up all the different Smash Books, but never actually bought one because I *knew* that while they look totally cool, I would most likely never actually use it. And the last thing I need is more unused scrapbooking product!! ;) However, thanks to my creative friend Katrina, I have finally overcome my fear of the Smash!
Katrina put together a fun little project she called "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Smash." There are eleven of us from around the U.S. and Canada, each who began a Smash Book with a topic of our choice. We will send the books around to everyone in the group and each participant will add their own set of pages to fit the chosen topic. It's kind of like a modern day Circle Journal. I have a love hate relationship with Circle Journals. Love because I met some of my favorite friends (Barb...Angie...that's you!) through a Circle Journal project. Hate, because I never actually got a single Circle Journal I created back. It always got "lost" in the mix of things. Bummer. Let's hope my Smash book does not suffer the same fate!!
Here are the pages of my original book that I sent out to the fabulous Melanie. I can't wait to see what all the other ladies create with it! :)

I also created two pages that I LOVE for Barb's Smash, but silly me forgot to take a photo of them!! Hopefully she can take a picture when she gets it back in like a year!! :) Other members of the Traveling Smash include: Katrina, Barb, Stephanie, Melanie, Lain, Kelly, Kristi, Lee, Colleen, and Kelli.
