It's time to share something that we're all really excited about! SMASH is an exciting new product line from EK Success. We're so excited about it that we're sure to prattle on and on, so we'll let their catchy introduction video do the talking.


How adorable was that? Now on to even more eye candy. Here is the Mod SMASHfolio. We love how the SMASHstick fits right into the side of the book for easy access.


There are 4 different styles of SMASHfolio: Mod, Pretty, Doodle and Retro and these are just a small sampling of the awesome pages throughout them.







They had some great samples of finished SMASHfolios in the booth, and it was really fun to see them in action!




Here are some of the bits & bobs from what is sure to be an awesome product line. The SMASHpad is ideal for carrying around wherever you go so that you can jot down funny conversation, lists, songs you want to download and anything else you might want to SMASH into your book so that they stick with you.


The date SMASHstamp looked like a really big hit. With the fun phrases in addition to a date stamp you can't go wrong.


The SMASHmarks will help you keep your place in your SMASHfolio or mark something you want to remember to show a friend.


Another product we were all oohing and aahing over is the SMASHtape, a designer washi tape that provides you with another neat way to add things to your SMASHfolio.


These metal SMASHclips are a great combo product; a way to mark your place in, and attach a memory to, your SMASHfolio. I mean, c'mon, that mustache one? Awesome!


Plus, there are flagged SMASHclips, SMASHpockets, SMASHtabs, SMASHstickies and SMASHbands to hold your SMASHfolio closed when it's filled to bursting with all of your special "moments and musings that stick."

We have a million possibilities running through our heads, but we'd love to hear what you would SMASH into your SMASHfolio!

The SMASH journal is awesome. . .
not liking the April delivery, tho!
The video does not do the product justice - much better in person!
love it!

I'm so loving the Smashstick! A pen and glue in one device - awesome! I'd love one of these SMASH journals, just for keeping track of ideas and things that I've seen to inspire me in my art work. I'm always saying, great idea, have to try that, then I forget. This is perfect for that. Not to mention it looks like a great art journal too!

The SmashBook is one of the coolest things I saw from CHA. I am going to have one for Me, My Husband and son for those little things that dont seem like a big deal at the time but will be a great memory later. They look like so much fun for a different type of live journal. I cannot wai to get my hands on them. Kudos to EK Sucess!!!
