Organizational tip ~ Smash book storage

I have a new found love for my Smash book. I mainly love it so much because I noticed alll that lil memorabilia  piling up & going no where near my scrapbook layouts. I also have been wanting to do a book about me but find it very overwhelming right now. So Smash it is. I can get all of that in there. I don't have to worry about how neat & pretty it looks or who sees it. It's mine alllll mine!
I write all my likes, dislikes, memories, journaling,  glue down ticket stubs....you name it & it's there! 

To make it even faster & easier I decided it needed to go into something that I can just grab & go. Tada..a makeup case I had. (It's actually a LeSportSac travel mate) This case fit's it all. There are pockets for my supplies & even a detachable clear one for my ink pad & stamp. If it gets messy I can just take it off & wash it. The front pocket is perfect for putting the memorabilia in until I can get it smashed in there. The book fits perfectly too. Now I have this right by my bed ready to go. If I wanna take it somewhere, all I need to do is grab it & go! It's so bright & cheery too! 
Love it! 



Hope you enjoy. You should try something like this. It's very liberating!

  2. I love your storage idea! I have been making small albums and giving them away in those little purses or make-up bags! Great job, I love the one you have though with all the little pockets! I just used some MME old paper to make a new layout today, titled "New Smile", it felt great to use up some supplies, although I do love my MME paper! You can see it on my blog. Love Penny Scrap-aholic@blogspot.com

  5. Found your post on Pinterest =) I have been looking for something like this! I've gotten into carrying Midori Traveler's notebooks around lately and want something small to carry with smash book like things in it. I'll have to keep my eye open.
