Amy inspired me after watching her free live video workshop the other day. It's really so freaking easy it's ridiculous. :) I have so much scrapbook paper laying around that I don't use anymore and this is a great way to use it up. I chose the ugliest papers of the bunch so I won't have trouble painting over it and bound them together.
I actually have the binding machine at home but if you don't, just go to your local copy shop and they'll do it for you.
And this is the first painting in it. Of course inspired by Amy and her FREE workshop called STEve's ARTFIRe. :)
Now I'm off to check out Friday's Party People. :)


















Ja doma narejene "Smash books" so veliko boljše od kupljenih! Sama je še nisem naredila ampak to imam v letošnjem ustvarjalnem planu!

ReplyDeleteyour little smash books are so yummy and you are right STEve rocks :D
ReplyDeleteDid you bind that book lol or did STeve smash it together? Love the painting!!! Oh and I want one of them books.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I bought a Smash book just because it was so cute and I found it at a weak moment in the store. I've made some of my own journals, too, though. Yours are really nice!
ReplyDeleteI love your girl and her words! The journals look fun.
ReplyDeleteShe's quite a beauty with her green eyes and pouting lips. I like the words too. Great job Natasha. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI want to do this smash book experiment :) I watched the video of Amy's (or should I say STEve's) & let's face it, she MAKES you want one LOL - hey love the first painting - you look so cute :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you created your own smash books. I know they'll be great - you already made one really cool painting for it. Can't wait to see the others!
ReplyDeleteLove the new painting!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Smash Book, what a great use for all that paper I have been hoarding...you know, for when the zombies arise and there is no more...because the first thing to go will be paper, right...?
That is so cool! Your book looks like so much fun and I LOVE your little girl! Her eyes and lips are gorgeous and I adore those cheeks! xo
