Welcome to the UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! 3rd Anniversary Celebration Edition 2012 World Showcase Blog Hop.
This is the first stop of many on the blog hop. If you started at another spot, you might be joining me from Ashley VanCamp's blog, showcasing her fabulous double layout, Beauty With Blossoms!~ Wow! If that layout doesn't brighten a cloudy day, then her sweeties on the layout surely do!
If you are just joining the Blog Hop, no problem, as you can start at any point. All the Designer's Blogs are linked together so you will be able to see ALL the FANTASTIC projects we have for you.
Smash Books are all the rage now and since it is National Scrapbooking Month, I couldn't resist creating a do-it-from-your-own stash version of this popular memory book.
Every element of this book can come from supplies you already have on hand! From the cover, to the pages, embellishments, and pockets, if you make cards or layouts, you can make this from your stash!

Here's a peek at a few inside pages...
Handmade tags will stretch your stampin' skills.
Leftover strips of DSP make cute banner pages, die cuts add interesting shape to your journal.
Create easy pocket pages to store memorabilia. Get your scrappin' done now, and cruise through memory keeping this summer!
