How to Create a Smash Book
How to create a smash book

How to create a smash book, not a scrapbook. A smash book is a place where you can place the little things in life’ ticket stubs, magazine clips, recipes, snapshots, love letters, design ideas, pictures, and notes to self. It is faster than scrap booking and is portable too. A smash book can be made from a ringed binder or a note book or you can buy a book from k and company at a craft store or online. They are personal on each page with picture design on each that makes it unique.
Before creating your smash book, know the different styles of smash books. There are twelve: simple orange, cutesy, pretty pink, retro, and smart, couture, tasty, nostalgia, doodle red, mod, 360 folio, and eco green. The simple orange smash book pages are not like the others, there a lot more plain, and simple. You can do a lot more with the pages. You can chose your “theme” easier because of the graphic pages chosen for this book in particular. The Cutesy is as described, very cute looking pages. Each page is filled with cute simple little girly things. Such as flowers or pinks and innocent looking pictures. The pretty pink is very floral and girly almost like the cutesy but different in a way because it has a lot more flower prints in it. The retro blue is designed for a retro look. If you like typography you will love this one. If you can’t help to tap your foot to the beat you will love this one because that is what this smash book is all about. It has a sense of humor to it, and it is my personal favorite. The smart smash book is covered with school inspired images and graphics. In comes in a studious style. It is great for school related things. However, the couture smash book is fun, shiny and very fashion like, with lots of color. It is a lot of girl’s favorites. The Tasty smash book is covered with food inspired pages. Original illustrations and hand lettering design, you can make this in a snap. The nostalgia style is also filled with

    There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” This is a famous quote said by Marcel Proust. Books over the centuries have had an influential impact on the lives of many. Arguably, there are none more influential than children’s books. Children’s books contain important life lessons and teach many children the basic values they will hold for the remainder of their lives. Examples of the best range from the well-known Dr. Seuss books, to the always-popular Winnie the Pooh books. Although those are historically popular, The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister, is one that should be kept in mind. With it’s enticing illustrations, simple and descriptive context, and lesson it portrays, the children’s book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister should be considered for a spot on the “Top 100 Children’s Books” list.…

    On the surface one may feel that there is a clear divide between children’s books and adults. For instance if we take a look at a typical children’s book cover we often find them to be colourful and decorated with illustrations. In contrast to the supposed adult books that often have mundane simple covers. However, to distinguish if there is a clear divide between children’s books and adults books one must look further than just the cover.…

    According to Cyndi Giorgis and Joan Glazer “Good children’s literature contains freshness and honesty. It may touch children’s emotions; it may stimulate their imaginations. It may make them think about new ideas or thing about old ides in new ways,” (2009, p. 37). When selecting literature titles and media, the characteristics of the selections have to be representative of a preschool child. The characteristics includes: A clear, and engaging plot with an easy-to-follow sequence of events, memorable characters, vivid language that reflects the mood of the story, a truthful theme, quality illustrations that enhance the story, a respectful message about people, cultures, or race.…

    Going into this project I thought writing a children’s book would be easy, however the only way to actually write a successful children’s book is to be able to think like a child, which was shockingly hard for me to do. One has to know what a child would be interested in reading, and what pictures should be portrayed in the story to catch the eye of a child. The wording in the book has to be pretty concrete as well so that it is easy for children to imagine what they are reading aside from looking at the pictures.…

    First off, Mortimer Adler in “How to mark a book” states that by writing between lines of a book, preferably books that contain ideas, one is most likely to practice the art of effective reading. Marking a book is an act of love and shows, what Mortimer likes to call, “full ownership” of the book. Purchasing a book with money is only a prelude to book ownership. That person only owns pulp wood and ink if he does not read them, according to Mortimer but where one is able to absorb and understand the book content, fully owns that book. Mortimer Adler has categorized book ownership into three. Two cases which have been talked about above. The cases where one owns books but does not read them and the other where one exhausts the book content into his brain by marking the book. The other case is where one may have many books but has read few and most of them in are good condition. This person probably wants to make full use of the book but is said to have false respect for the book. Marking a book brings about thoughtful reading and probably leads to disfiguring and loosening of the books due to continual usage. Some argue to say that some books are just meant to be taken care of as they are of soul value to the reader. Mortimer states that in some cases it may be true but still tries to enlighten us that a book is not like a statue which has certain values that necessitate people to keep it in good condition. Marking a book is an act of love and not of mutilation. Among other things, marking a book involves underlining sentences, drawing vertical lines on the underlined sentences to emphasize importance of the statement, writing numbers on the margin to show sequence of the points. The numbers can also be used to indicate pages where points relevant to the marked point are. Other marking methods are circling, writing in the margin which includes things like answers to questions raised in the passage, questions raised in your mind from the passage.…

    Comic books are loved by children, despite the lack of options they have on the market today. Comics aimed for children should be made about them, so they can relate to the story similar to the method used when writing scripts for TV shows and movies. With the electronics on the market today, comic books have to compete for the spot of entertainment in a child’s eyes.…
