Hello! My good friend Kim from Ricketts Cricuts told me about smash books. So I decided to create one of my own! Thank you Kim! I created my smash book using heavy cardstock paper, and my cinch binding machine. I then decorated it with a German flag and a scenic picture of Germany!

The first couple of pages which I finished soon after I made my smash book. The card which my friend Brenda gave me had a phrase on it that I liked and thought it went well for the beginning of our adventure! The next page I made a pocket for some of our farewell cards and added a picture of us at our going away party. Then I added a few decorations.

This page represents the day we left California for Frankfurt, Germany! I used travel stickers, some of our tickets, pictures of our boys and other little tidbits I kept to remember that day!
