Introducing the Smash CT

Becky Hopkins

Hi everyone! My name is Becky. I live on the South Coast of New South Wales in Australia with my hubby and three children - Ellie, 6, Kahlei, 4 and Jasper, 2. 
I am a stay at home mum, blogger at BeckyandJames.com, wannabe writer and photographer, 'retired' digiscrap designer (that lasted all of, like, two months) and I am utterly obsessed with art journaling and SMASHing. 
While I have known about SMASH books for ever, I thought I didn't need one and now I have three and am stalking stores which sell them as I need more! 
I am looking forward to participating on this team!

Candice Watson 

Hi, I'm Candice! I'm originally from North Carolina, but I currently live in Texas. I've always collected notes and mementos from my life, and I've kept a written journal since I was nine years old, but I've only gotten somewhat serious about scrapbooking within the past year. I heard about Smash books in 2011, but I didn't get my first one until the following summer. Since then, I've more or less filled two books, and am semi-constantly working on at least two books at a time. I have a blog (http://omgitssmashing.tumblr.com/), where I aggregate some of the best Smash pages on Tumblr.

Karyn Schultz 

Hi! My name is Karyn and I love papercrafts! It started about 10 years ago when I went to my first scrapbooking class. Then I found all the amazing stamps and images and started cardmaking and colouring using Copics, Prismacolor pencils and watercolouring. About 18 months ago I heard about SMASH* books and got hooked on the whole SMASH*ing phenomena (I just love the no-rules freedom of SMASH*ing). Most recently I have taken a few mixed media classes and now I love to include paints and mists on many of my pages. I live on a farm in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia, Australia with my amazing husband and 2 daughters (aged 5 and 12). We have horses, cows, a cat and lots of kangaroos and koalas! I spend my time being a mum, volunteering, crafting (of course) and running a few small home businesses. My blog is here http://karynscraftingobsession.blogspot.com.au/ I'm looking forward to working with you all

Kaitlynne Roil

Hi there,
My name is Kaitlynne, most people call me Kait. I'm married to my lovely hubby Justin and we have a gorgeous 1yr old daughter Iylah. We live on the South Coast near Wollongong and love it here! I've been scrapping for almost 8 years and fairly new to SMASHing, I've been doing that for around 6 months and been hooked ever since! I think my style is clean and simple and mostly fun!
You can check my work out on my blog:

Carol Annanie

Hi my name is Carol and I live in Virginia, USA. 
I am an empty nester and avid crafter. I have been papercrafting since the 90's and have craft room full of supplies to prove it. When I am not smashing you can find me enjoying photography, mix media, reading and spending time with my hubby of 29 years as we travel around the world.
I am excited to join the Creative Team here at Life In Details Challenge Blog. I look
forward to sharing my smashbook pages each month. Please stop by my blog see what I am up to today.

Good Morning!

Good morning!

I  just thought I would pop in and share my spread that I created.  I used the card on the right hand side of my week 9.  I just love this Fabulous collection by Simple Stories, and am so sad to say that I am almost out of it!

Anyway, here you go!

Remember you have until the end of the month to link up with us here.

Here's a quick look at the menu, it's certainly inspiring!

Smash CT Call Out

We are changing things up here at Life in Details and we are now wanting to add a few more CT members to our family.

We are looking for those who love using smash books to document their life (don't need to use Project Life system,as we are looking for those that smash rather then PL). The term will be for 12 months. Starting in October 2013.

If you would like to apply please email us at lifeindetailschallengeblog@gmail.com with Smash CT call in the Subject field with the following:

- Your Name

- Blog address (if you have one)

- Why you would like to be on the team?

- 3 samples of your work ( doesn’t need to be newly created)

Applications close 21st September 2013 and the team will be announced on the 23rd September 2013

Personalizing the process.

Hello! Rachel here. 

This is my card for the September recipe challenge:

 I used items from a couple of Scraptastic This Life Noted (PL) kits to create my card. I love how quickly my spreads come together when I use Scraptastic kits. 

And my entire spread: 

I love how versatile pocket scrapbooking is- some weeks I spend a lot of time on my spreads, but most weeks I am chasing an almost toddler who is not as in love with scrapbook time as her mommy. I use the We R Memory Keepers 4x4 pocket pages, which fit instagram photos perfectly. Print, embellish, journal, go.  

How do you all personalize this style to fit your needs? 

Thanks for stopping by!
