Smash Sunday: Out of the Box

Smash Sunday

Out of the box 

Smash Sunday is here again and Brittany and I picked Out of the box for our topic of the day.  This may not have anything to do with the topic but I just kind of was feeling a lot of emotions today because so much has happened in the life of lizzy this past week so I just started painting all day! Anyone else just paint to get there feelings out? 

Well I do... 

But I did do something kind of fun on the left side of the page.  Today it was raining so I put on the paper "rain rain go away come again some other day" and then left it outside in the rain.  Its like it soaked up enough of the skys tears which is better than soaking up mine right?  So I let it dry and put it in the book painted some rain drops and felt much better.  ... sorry that was so emotional and all I apologize. :P

Later on in the day I did the second side of the page.  It says "be original" with a bunch of fancy doodles and a flower.  This was me at the end of the day when I was finally feeling un gloomy.  The reason I said be original is because I am one of the most original people I know.  I have never followed a trend of any kind weather its fashion or life trends and I never plan to.  I am my own definition of out of the box so I just kind of doodled what I wanted to down on this page.  

How are your guys's lives this month?  Are you excited for spring? Does spring inspire you to do anything specific? 

Thanks for reading guys :)  

I should have a DIY up and running at least by the end of the day tomorrow just a short and simple one that I have just fallen in love with.  

Smash Sunday: Foodie

Smash Sunday: 

Foodie 

Today is Sunday and just like every other Sunday me and my babe Brittany do a smash book page together than blog about them.  Todays theme was food... and boy do I love food! 

I must not be feeling very creative today because honestly this is one of my more boring smash pages.  But I do still like it very much guess I shouldn't have made it on a full stomach? ;) 

This page includes: 

• Several fun recipes to try
• Starbucks (mmm chia tea latte) 
• Green tea wrappers (tea addict) 
• Icream and various other junk foods 
• Some organic foods because I always feel better after I eat them 
• Some strawberry scrap book paper that reminded me of pick-nicks... I am definitely going to have a picknick this summer to blog about it.  
• I also have a row of sugary drinks... mmmm my fave form of to much calories <3

If you are going to do a smash book on food I would love to see what it looks like, tag me in a picture of it on instagram @DIYNATION7797

Thanks for reading guys! 

Keep reading there will be a new DIY tommorow! Its to die for... 

Smash Sunday

Smash Sunday

Its that time of the week again! Yes smash Sunday :) Today's theme was Colors, Naturally I chose the color pink because I...own the color pink.. 

You walk into my room and its like pink threw up everywhere.  If it comes in pink I probably own it.  

Its getting so full I love it!

Heres what it looks like :) By far my fave out of all my pages 

I took an old boa and put it across the top.  There are tons of vintage pink buttons to represent my sewing.  The pink camo jean pocket is because I LOVE pink camo and inside the pocket I put a letter I wrote to myself ...and I wrote it in pink pencil! There is a victoria secret bag and a pink bow to represent my love for bows. There is also a breast cancer ribbion several little pink flowers along with some paper stars.  There are many other random little pink things and I coated the hole thing in GLITTER!! wooooo! 

What have you put in your smash book recently?

Smash Sunday: All About Me

Smash Sunday

Me and my friend Brittany are going to both start something new on our blogs called Smash Sunday.  Smash Sunday is our smash book day.  Each Sunday we will do a page in our smash books related to a theme.  

If you would like to see her smash post here is the link: http://alwaysclassysometimessassy.blogspot.com/

Now I understand many of you are totally confused on what a smash book is so I will elaborate.  

My definition of a smash book:  An unorganized messy scrap book/journal. 

If you still do not understand any of this here are a few picture examples of what a smash book might look like. 

Starting to get it? 

Smash books are meant to just literally smash anything and everything into A note book.  

Examples:

• Thoughts 
• Poems
• Pictures 
• ticket stubs
• Magazine cutouts 
• ANYTHING! 

The bulkier the better! By the time your smash book is completely done it should be twice the size or even triple the size it was before.  It should not be able to be closed is what I am saying.... 

Hopefully that helped a bit on explaining it.   

And now... My new smash book... 

This is what I started with.  Just a plain and simple composition notebook. A few pages had been used and the front was a bit beat up.  But to me that meant the perfect smash book. 

I than covered the ugly in an adorable scrapbook paper and put my name on the front.  I wanted it nice and simple because the inside is going to be so cluttered it just kind of felt right.  

Today's theme Brittany and I had was all about me. 

We kind of figured since its the first day it is a great place to start 

On the left side side I wrote a not to myself.  I put some basic information about myself so in the future when I re read this smash book I kind of have an idea were I was in my life.  

Stuff like my age, grade, and the date I created it.  

I also made a mission statement to myself: 

I will always put a great amount of effort into this smash book.  I will try to do all positive pages as best as I can.  Some day I hope to look back on this book and think "wow" I am really proud of  myself. 

Here is my first page!! 

I will kind of explain what they all mean because to most you would be totally lost. 

The lipstick on the side resembles my favorite color (pink) 

The dog at the top is a cocker spaniel (represents my puppy I love so much) 

Sour patch kids (my fave candy) 

Thrift shopping -- for obvious reasons 

The heart is there for someone that is very close to me and I love very much 

Softball (The other love of my life) 

Butterfly heart (represents my love for camping and the outdoors) 

Mermaid bottom left (I am pretty positive I am a mermaid) 

glitter --- glitter runs threw my veins 

The reason the glitter is blue is cause thats my school color and since I am a cheerleader I figured I would add that in there 

Than random words that represent my personality 

Well... that was my smash sunday! 

In other news here is something exciting I did today!

I have been learning how to wield and this was the first piece that I have ever wielded together.... looks like a work of art to me. :)
