A smashbook is whatever you want it to be, of course, but might be considered a combination of scrapbooking and writing. (Although again, you don’t need to write!)
Again, this is not necessarily its’ own type of journal but it is a different way to think about the concept of journaling.
Some examples include:
- Adding a dried flower from a hike.
- Maybe even expanding on that flower to paint a full scene.
- Maybe also adding a photo you took, as reference.
- Gluing a ticket onto a page. Or a brochure. Or both.
- Maybe writing a short blurb about the experience of what that ticket was from.
- Adding a lock of hair from a haircut.
- A list of _______
- Maybe adding visual elements (doodles, collage, etc.) to support the items on that list
A smashbook can be a specific type of journal if you focus it on gratitude, or a specific time frame, etc. Or, it can just be a collection of random thoughts, ideas, and experiences.
