Arduino Mega w/ 5" TFT Touch LCD GUI Project Examples?

I have an arduino mega 2560 with a sainsmart 5" tft lcd touchscreen and shield.

What I want to do is make a menu using graphics loaded from the SD card on the back of the touchscreen. I got the touch working but I seem to be having trouble getting an image to load. I have tried the sd, the sdfat, the sdtinyfat and so on. I am finding very little when I google this stuff because all my results are just people who want to sell me arduino stuff.

Does anyone have a project already written that would save me a lot of time in trying to find 3 examples that work and then melding them together? I am sure someone has already built a GUI with this thing, I just cant find it.

Thanks for help!
