Welcome to the Newest CMC Group--open to everyone to share!!

I started out my papercrafting hobby 16 years ago with scrapbooking. Yep way back when there were just stickers, some paper & decorative scissors LOL! I quickly moved to digi scrapbooking as I could get them done faster but I never lost the love of journaling and scrapbooking entirely as I moved over to cardmaking. So along came Smash Books earlier this year--a fun, quicker way to scrapbook your life and journal as well. I was hooked and bought everything....but.....I have yet to get moving on my book about my travels. So someone suggest starting this group which I thought was a fantastic idea and a way to motivate ME & perhaps others as well.

So this will be a fun place to talk about new products, share ideas & projects and make new friends!!

This group is for all those who love making Smash Books, Journaling, Altered Books & Scrapbooking lovers!!
