Journaling is fine, but it lacks a certain amount of creativity. You can't really clue pictures and cards in a journal. It's not quite as cutesy.
Luckily, my lovely blogging friend, Nicole from Glossy Gurl, introduced me to the fabulousness that is the Smash Folio.
This thing is amazing. It combines the idea of a journal and a scrapbook without being expensive. The book itself is adorable. Each page has a different design to aid with your creative process. Also included is a double-ended pen/glue stick. You can use it to write or doodle whatever your heart desires, and add pictures or doodads galore. LOVE it! Also, the actual book comes in a bunch of different colors. You don't have to be all girly like me and go for pink unless you want to!
You can also purchase some accessories separately (for super cheap)! This is seriously my fave thing ever. I've already completed five pages and I literally just got it this afternoon!
Here are a few of the fab products you can get (look how amazingly well-priced they are!):
Not bad, right?! Time to get creative, ladies!!
