Synopsis from Goodreads: For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Acclaimed illustrator Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts-poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, and more-in order to experience the true creative process. Readers discover a new way of art and journal making-and new ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

Ever thought about throwing a book across the room? Or jump on it? Put a pencil through the page? Make it all dirty? Draw in it? With Wreck This Journal you can! I had the most fun following the assignments! 

But instead of writing a review, I'll show you some of my pictures. I hope you'll like them!

Breaking the Spine. That hurt!

Rip the pages. I always wanted to do that!

Pencil through the page!

And the result. 

Assignment: give this page a smell, so I did! Berry :)

It should have been coffee, but I only drink tea. So tea it was!

Pick a photo you hate and ruin it. Muhahaha

Drawing with ink and weird tools like leaves, paperclips. My boyfriend helped me with this one!

A list for things to ruin this book some more. Maybe I'll wash it!

These are my own photo's, so I have the rights to them. Please, do not copy them.
