SMASHERS! YOU MUST READ THIS MESSAGE!!!

Well, OK, I guess I shouldn't make titles in all caps and tell you "you must" do anything... someone will probably get crabby about my lack of on-line decorum.  Oh well... I'm sure I passed the cut-off line for good on-line decorum a long time before this post....

Anyway, the point of all this is if you belong to the Smash club you will not want to miss a surprise, unscheduled club meeting! 

Well, of course, it's scheduled now... it wasn't scheduled when we printed the schedules, so no one really knows about it, which is why there is such urgency in this post!!!

SO, this Sunday, May 19th from 12pm-1:30 Amy is leading our next Smash club.  Again, this meeting is NOT on your printed class schedule.  Smash Club is free, as always, but you must call and sign up so we know how many people are coming.  Here are a few gorgeous pictures from Amy's Smash book to keep you salivating until Sunday: 

Look at what she did with her cover:

So stinking cute, right?  How about this pop-up action:

Ohhh... love the black and white!

And the little ephemera pockets - too cute!

So marking your calendars, give us a call, and come to Smash Club this Sunday, May 19th from 12-1pm.  Got it?  Good!

Smash is back!

Smash is back! OK, well, it never actually went anywhere; we were just sold out of a lot of the little smashing goodies, and now they're back! We got in some great pockets that you can stuff full of delicious memorabilia:

I particularly love these clear pockets - they're super cute and you can see the stuff inside:

Also back in: the label maker, label maker refills, and page inserts :

We also got more of the mini Smash journals - we are particularly glad to see these since they flew out the door so fast last time that anyone who blinked missed them:





Don't forget, Amy's next Smash club is Saturday, July 7th at 2pm. This month everyone is coming with two items made - one to trade and one to smash with. The trading item should be something that you are good at, something you want to share with others, and the one to smash with should be a new technique or something you've tried for the first time. It's going to be so much fun - be sure not to miss out!

You're in for a SMASHING good time...

The June SMASH club will be on Sunday the 3rd at 2 pm... this is a completely free event hosted by the lovely and talented Amy, who will teach you everything you need to know about SMASHing!

Each month Amy has come up with creative ways to enhance the SMASH experience and if you've missed any of those meetings this will be the perfect meeting for you to get started, because she's offering the time to revisit and catch up on all the previous topics she's covered - topics like using frames, using SMASH tapes, handwritten journaling, creating your own pocket pages, decorating your cover and much, much more!

SMASH books are premade books that have so many purposes. Some pages have images on them, some have open space for your own creating, some have pockets - the point of SMASH is that it's all you - your life, your ideas, your thoughts, right here and right now. No rules, no requirements, no need to impress anyone. It's all about you and things that make YOU happy.

Recreate special designs that you like:

Commemorate special times:

Collect things that make you smile:

Carry it with you when you travel to keep a quick tracking on your thoughts and experiences so you can remember them later:

You can scrapbook in your SMASH:

You can journal about things you have and things you'd like to have:

Remember, there are no rules...

This is a book that's just for YOU:

For those of you already introduced to SMASH, we've recently received some new SMASH product - a wedding themed SMASH book and two new SMASH books in the new 11" x 13.5" size, along with some super cute and trendy new accessories:

If you want to come SMASH with us just give us a quick call so we know how many people to expect - trust me, you'll have a blast! (Ha - You thought I was going to say SMASH again didn't you???)
