So, to solve this problem, I bought an orange SMASH book. ;) As for the blue, I am finished adding layers but that's what is fun about it. As I SMASHed, I left all the journaling cards and white pages empty to sketch in. So, I am still pulling it off the shelf to add notes and drawings to it all the time.
When I SMASHed last weekend, I did it a little differently than the blue book. I had all my supplies out and had no plan. I just pulled items out of my stash and started cutting inspiration from magazines. I SMASHed all afternoon. I would just flip back and forth through the book and glued pieces as they fit. Here's what I came up with. (I will attempt to mention key elements I used on the page. A lot of the stash is old stuff I have been hording for a while. There is some new items I want to share with you the manufacturers of).
