Smash!

No, I'm not talking about the new TV show.  I don't watch TV.  I have trouble sitting still and devoting attention to it- unless it's a new episode of THE WALKING DEAD.  And even then I will browse websites or magazines or talk on the phone if it goes too long between zombie fights.

I'm talking about K&CO's SMASH BOOKS!  (Or is it SMASHbook?)  I LOVE THESE THINGS!  Do you?  First of all- they're extremely nice looking.  And I love the pen and glue-stick combo.  But then: there are the accessories.  Have you bought the SMASHstamp?  Freakin' adorable.  And handy!

So what is it that has Mr. K in such a frenzy, tonight?

The new SMASH books and accessories, that's what...

I was reading one of my favorite blogs- THE SCRAPPY JEDI, and saw the photos from CHA.  And there is was- the new SMASH tape.  And the new giant sized SMASH books.

What's up with the tape?  The first one, called SWATCH- I'm going to need at least two rolls of this, just to start with-  looks like random swatches of fabric or paper, could be torn in small pieces as an accent to a layout, and would even look great in a long strip, as a border.

The second roll of tape is called CALENDAR.

The third thing that caught my eye?  The label-maker.  Why would I need this?  I have a perfect, vintage DYMO label-maker.  I found it at thrift store, in its own plastic case with rolls of original wood-veneer looking tape!  But, dangit- I do, truly, love all things SMASH!

Well, definitely go over to The Scrappy Jedi and check out her photos, fresh from CHA.

  4. That new Smash book looks to be big: maybe 10-12"... better for event planning, vacation recording, etc. I want the small one for trip journaling. I have purchased a few of the accessories at Fred Meyer on sale. They tell me the Smash items are not selling and I should watch for a clearance of them. So, my old Dymo is from the 70's and orange and still works perfect: just can't give up on it....heck it's vintage now.

    Fun post; thanks.

    1. I love my old Dymo! Mine is tan- I would love an orange one- or the green one my Dad had when I was young!

      I'm surprised to hear the Smash stuff isn't selling - is it just at that store? Even an LSS near me sold out of her first shipment- and when Michaels got them in, it looked like the display was molested by monkeys.

    1. Hey Princess! Good morning!

      I love my Smash book! Obviously. I use mine, mostly, as a planner/date book/idea book. And I love the accessories- you GOTTA get the SmashStamp. First thing when you get the book. Use another Fitty-off coupon. It's cheap enough anyways. And the little books of tags are cool- too, perfect to use on other things, layouts, etc. You gonna love it!
