K&CompanySmash Pad, Travel

Another great smash product! I love these little prompt books. If you've never seen one, well, they're little pads of papers with prompts that you can tear out, write down your thoughts, and tape or glue it into your Smash book - Scrapbook - Art Journal, etc. At first I didn't really like that there were more than one of the same prompt (usually 3 of the same prompt in one book) but now that I have several smash books and Art Journals going at the same time, mine, the family adventure one, one for the youngest, helping my middle daughter with hers...., then I can see the upside of having more than one of the same prompt. It makes sense now.I'd seen some complaints from other reviewers talking about the clear round label that the manufacturer put on the front of the pad, then folded over the side of the pad to the back, to keep it together in shipping. The complaint is that when you tear it off, it rips the whole front cover leaving you with a mess, and lets face it, most of us with artistic abilities are a tad OCD and that would drive anyone of us crazy. And they're right, if you tear it off, that is exactly what's going to happen.So, I didn't tear mine off. Instead I took a xacto knife, slid it through the tape in the very center of the pad (very carefully), and then folded the tape over onto the inside of the front and back covers. It was an easy way to open it, and easy way to solve the problem of ruining the front.This is the Travel Pad - We travel a lot, so this little pad is perfect for all our adventure books! It's another reason I'm glad for 3 of the same page, because it'll last longer for all my adventure books. Plus the prompts give me ideas to make up my own prompts.Like the others, it is smaller than a 3 x 5 note card with a perforated edge at the top, to make it easy to tear each individual page out. I'm attaching pix of the prompts because one of the hardest things I had about deciding which books to buy, was having no idea what was inside.These pages include: A Favorite Cultural CustomAway we go, including, where: when: with whom: we stayedDon't forget to bringmost memorablePlaces I've beenBest Trip everTravel Nightmare - a true story about a vacation gone badMy dream adventure - if I could do absolutely anythingIf I could - go anywhere - live anywhere - dateBefore I'm ___ I want to visitThe shipping made me raise my eyebrows a bit. No wonder shipping costs are so high and those of us with Prime now have to deal with these 'Add on' items. They put it in this huge plastic sleeve that would have held a workbook, then an envelope slightly bigger than that. Remember, this is for a pad of paper that is smaller than a 3 x 5 note card.Sorry about the photos not rotating the right way. I can't figure out why they won't rotate. If you have answers, I'll be forever grateful.

Love the pad! Many sheets to choose from for any travel scrap-booking. The pad includes 3 pages each of "Away We Go", "Don't forget to bring...", "Most Memorable:", "Places I've been:", "Best Trip Ever:", "Travel Nightmare", "My Dream Adventure:", "If I Could...", "Before I'm __ I want to visit:", "A Favorite Cultural Custom:".

I used these to make a fun travel journal. Used many of the punch outs with the smash kit journal. 100 percent recommend for travel documentation!

Exactly what I was looking for!!! Quick shipping, got to me way faster than I expected. There are multiple copies of each sheet so that I am not afraid to make mistakes, even though in a Smash book there is no such thing as a mistake :D

Not sure I'll have much use for these for traveling, but I'm sure I can put them to good use for other things. Cute little pad.

This travel pad will be great to use in my Smashbook that I will be using as a journal on a trip. Any left over, will be used for scrapbooking. They are very nice.

to get me journaling in my smash books. Ideas just come together in cute little books, which can fit in a small pocket, and written whenever you have few minutes of time.

Works well with the book or without.
