SMASH*Book/Collage Week - Day 4

I had lots of time to work yesterday, and it was really fun. I took pictures every 15-20 minutes at the beginning, just to document the process I was going through to put everything together.

I pretty much just set things out in a layout I liked and then glued/taped them down one by one.

 

I wrote on the backs of some pictures, made notes around pictures, and put lots of documentation in.

I wanted to make it possible to look inside the card she made me. And I also stacked some of the photos like a little flip book, so I was able to have more photos on the pages than if I had just glued them straight on.

I added lots of little doodles and patterns around to make it look cute. I also threw in some little magazine cutouts of strawberries, just to add color and fill space. I wish the pictures were a little better so you could see all the detail!

There's a little empty space behind that last photo, but I haven't decided yet what I want to put there. I'm sure I'll find something stashed away to put there eventually, but I'm not worried about filling the space right away. I want to find something that is just right. I really like the way it turned out, although I'm still not sure if I like the ribbon behind the letters. I didn't turn out to match as well as I was hoping, but it's still cute, so eh... whatever.
