SMASH Book turned Stamp Catalog

I have finally finished my latest project.  I received this SMASH book in the mail a few weeks ago, but when I opened it I noticed it had been bound backward.  All of the pages were upside down, so I tired to find a creative way to work around this.  I decided to create a catalog to index all of my acrylic stamps. 

I used the Mod Black SMASH book and the “For the Record” paper collection by Echo Park. 

Here's how I started: I already had my stamps organized into 6 bins - Sentiments, Accent, Nature & Floral, Celebration & Holiday, Background & Journaling, and Alpha.  I took each bin and looked the stamp set up on Google images.

If I found the stamp set, I saved the picture to a folder on my Desktop.  If I didn't find the stamp set, I scanned it using my HP Photosmart Scanner.  I then inserted all the photos into a Word document and then printed them on white cardstock. 

I cut all the pictures out and started decorating my SMASH book. 

I covered the front, back, inside covers, and all 6 section title pages with papers from the collection. 

I used the Paper SMASH Tabs to divide the 6 sections of my catalog.

Here’s a peek at the inside. I used my ATG gun to adhere all the index prints down, so they wouldn’t go anywhere.

Still have 3 more SMASH Books left.  I plan on using 1 of them as a Mommy-To-Be Journal someday….soon! :)

A SMASHing Idea!

I got my SMASH book a few weeks ago, but haven't dared to touch any of the stuff yet.  I don't want to, I just want to hoard it because I love it so much.....but I have decided to go ahead and break it open!  I am so in love with this new concept by K & Company, so much fun and so cheap!  A SMASH book is only around $13.00.  Blue Moon Scrapbooking just listed them on their website yesterday - SMASH Journal

If you DON'T like to scrapbook because it's too tedious and fussy, then this is for you.  And if you DO like to scrapbook, this is for you too because it's super fun!  

And if you don't know what a SMASH book is, watch this and you will quickly find out why I am so excited about these new products!

My question for the day....what should I put in my 1st SMASH book?  (Yes, I own 4!)  What are you putting in your SMASH book? :)
