I was tickled pink when I saw this new product in our early demonstrator-only sneak peek this spring! Smash books, wreck it albums, junk journals–whatever you call them, this “new old” trend in scrapbooking is super fun and perfectly suits the random way modern life comes at you, as it happens. Traditional scrapping doesn’t work anymore for thousands of busy people, yet we still all want a way to preserve our memories, hang onto precious photos, and manage all the little bits of memorabilia that we love to keep but don’t really have a good place for.
Enter the This & That line from Stampin’ Up… the perfect combo of journaling notebook and scrapbook. It’s a return to scrapbooking the way it first came about–tucking ticket stubs, random photos, pressed flowers and yellowing programs into a book to look through and reminisce over later. Maybe a few handwritten notes here and there.
But in a marvelouly modern twist, and with the addition of rotary stamps,washi tape, and other clever new accessories, this type of scrapbooking has been reinvented for inspiration journals, art sketches, brag books, prayer journals, and much more!
The possibilities are totally amazing! Here’s 40 quick idea for a This & That book:
- my favorite quotes
- the kids’ funny faces
- places we’ve lived
- our family recipes
- my personal style
- new year’s resolutions
- places I want to go
- my dream house has…
- all about us
- and baby makes three
- Instagram photos
- my top ten movies
- if I had a million dollars
- my pregnancy story
- color combos to try
- my weight loss journey
- prayer & praises
- my BFF and me
- how we met
- cold nose, warm heart
- when I was a kid
- a day in the life
- random facts about me
- the story of your adoption
- on turning 40
- how I learned to ______
- books I love
- paint swatches I’m considering
- 10 things I love about you
- songs that make me smile
- before and after
- I love being a girly girl
- four generations
- my favorite stores
- learning to drive
- what my shoes say about me
- dreaming of my garden
- when we were dating
- three wishes
- 20 things you don’t know about me

Smash books might be the answer–simply scrapping your messy and wonderful life as it happens…. click here to go to my online shopping site and see the This & That line and other fabulous, simple kits that take the guilt out and put a healthy dose of fun back in.
