Double page spread in the SMASH journal. I got the Smash journal because it had ready to go backgrounds. I'm not liking collage (media) because of all the stuff you have to accumulate. I've got the skills to paint little icons & sticker-sized graphics. However, you can't do watercolor or gouache or inktense directly on the page. It just beads up. For the acrylic, I thought about painting squares of gesso but then I can't use the other media if I feel like it. So I cut up some ATC size blank watercolor paper. No, I won't be trading these, they're already glued (Mod Podge) to the pages.
That's another thing, not all glue is good. I had rubber cement, but it was over 4 years old and had reduced to a tough rubber snot-like substance. I had stick glue. It had dried up, too. The SMASH glue is stick glue--it'll probably fall off in a couple years. Mod Podge is the way to go! Ooo, I just saw my hot glue gun hanging from my art table. That'll be good for heavier attachments.
