I'm Back For Now

I'm bored, so that means I'm back!

This little hedgehog might be one of my all time favorite stamps.  There's a lot you can do with it and it's just so darn cute!

Anyways, I woke up this morning and looked through my box of cards to see what I was potentially lacking in my stash.  I noticed I have a lot for very specific occasions but not many that could be flexible in their use.  You never know what might arise in life that calls for a card so I decided to try and make some this next week that can be multi-purpose.

A bonus to this card was that I was able to use up some of my ribbon stash which is disproportionately large compared to how infrequently I use ribbon in my projects.

Cruise Album #10

This page will probably end up getting moved to the end of the album because as I was making it I realized it would make a nice little end cap to the project as a whole.

Once again, this photo was taken on the Goth Night of the ship and they super imposed us in front of the crowd for Bowling For Soup from the first night.  In person I can point to where we are in the crowd so technically we're in the photo twice.

I like the rock on sentiment being the end of the album since it encapsulates it all pretty well.  It also is very typical of the other pages so it really does wrap it up nicely.

The song I'm using for today is actually from Yungblud, an artist that I saw for the first time on the very last Warped Tour festival in California.  I feel like it's appropriate because the idea of still finding new music and new artists to love after all these years I've spent with Warped Tour is truly my way of rockin' on.

Cruise Album #9

This page is a little different than the others I've made for this album so far but I tried to keep it in the same world by using a similar color scheme and of course the skulls.

The day this picture was taken I had woken up pretty sea sick, but it didn't take me long to figure out that floating in a pool on the ship actually helped quite a bit.  While one of my favorite bands, Bowling For Soup, played poolside I happily floated around and got some sun.  My friend was walking by and saw me so she took this picture before joining in.

I tried to use the same colors as previous pages and hoped the circles would be able to repeat the circle theme I have working throughout the album, even though I did something a little different with their arrangement.

The song for the day is from Bowling For Soup since they truly were the soundtrack of this photo.

Cruise Album #7

The page I worked on for today is of a another photo from the Goth Night where I got my head removed, but in this one I'm full-bodied.  They had a Goth Night the second night on the ship so my friend and I dressed in our finest spooky blacks and joined in on the festivities.  We had fun wandering around the ship to get acquainted with it.  We got stopped for this  photo which turned out pretty darn good!

This was a fun page to make because I often find myself leaning more towards silver than gold when I'm designing (and in my wardrobe too, now that I think about it...) so getting to use so much gold was a real treat.

The song for today is from Black Veil Brides which is definitely more emo than goth but they skew more towards goth than the other bands I listen to.  I've seen them a couple times on Warped Tour so it seemed fitting to use one of their songs for today.
