Description:

This swap is designed to help those who aren't quite sure what to send for a Smash Book/Junk Journal swap to get started. Even though I am targeting new smashers, all are welcome.

For this swap we will send our partner at least five (5) items (each individual piece counts as one item) that can be used in a smash book or junk journal. If you choose to send stickers, you must send at least 10, and they will only count as one item, no matter how many you send.

Please read your partners profile to see if you can send items with a theme they will like.

Here is a list of items that you can send for this project:

  • Small envelopes
  • Small note pad pages
  • Colorful, mostly flat decorative items
  • Postcards
  • New or vintage blank forms of any kind
  • Images (stickers, pictures cut from magazines, etc.)
  • Recipe Cards
  • Any attractive items that can be written on or used to decorate
  • Postage stamps

If you are uncertain how a Smash Book or Junk Journal looks, really anything goes. Below are links to several pages that show Smash Book pages:

I am so grateful for the links, and the chance to start a new obsession. From what I have seen Smash books are just scrapbooks, Not nec with your own photos, and they are made from a lot of saved trash. Gee, right up my alley, I love trash to Treasure ATC cards. I already use the inside of security envelopes and punch out flowers and hearts, and stuff.

As a host I know this is up to you, would you possibly add a list of journal prompts to the above list please?

Even the smash journaizers need prompting at times. Wink, wink

AZmom875 you sound like me with the envelopes idea. The inside of envies are neat. I cut them or punch them and color.

I had never seen a Smash Book but had heard rave reviews about them. When I visited out of town I found a complete set of stuff at a craft store and fell in love with the whole line!
