ONLINE: Smash Journals

A smash journal is a type of creative, informal journal where you "smash" together a variety of mementos, ideas, and creative elements without worrying too much about structure or perfection. It's a blend of scrapbooking, journaling, and art-making, designed to be expressive and personal.

Here are some common elements in a smash journal:

• Mementos: Tickets, photos, postcards, receipts, or other items with sentimental value.

• Writing: Thoughts, reflections, quotes, poems, or random notes.

• Art: Doodles, sketches, stamps, or watercolor paintings.

• Collage: Magazine clippings, decorative paper, stickers, or washi tape.
