Barcelona Smash Album

Last October the five of us spent the Fall holidays in Barcelona, Spain. I've made it a habit to take a notebook with me every holiday, so that in the evening I can write down what we did that day. This time I took a K&Company Smash Album with me, which comes with this handy combination pen/glue tip, some rolls of washi tape and a AC date stamp.

I'm so happy I did this as once at home the only thing I had to do was to add the photos! I have to admit I kept it relatively simple this time as I have so many unfinished holiday mini's lying around the house! This is the first holiday mini album I finished within a week!!

Here's what I made;  the cuts on the cover like the heart, the city outline and the word Barcelona are all cut with the Cameo.



























For this album I used an AC/Amy Tangerine collection. I really love this collection because of all the fun borders at the bottom of every sheet of paper (like the blue row of people on the page above).

As you may have noticed, I'm not very good at just "smashing" things down in an album, I tend to keep everything straight, but I forced myself to adhere the washi tapes at different angles, lol!

I think I'll add a few more photos to the album as I still have a few "empty" pages ... not really empty, as a Smash Album doesn't have any empty pages!

Thanks for visiting my blog again today!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

  7. I love what you did with your smash book! I have one that I haven't done anything with because I'm not a "smash-it" type girl either. I really thought it would help break me free from my "gotta-have-it-all-lined-up" style, but it has only intimidated me...until now! Thanks for showing me a new way to use my book. :)
