Happy June

Memorial Day has passed so I think it means Summer has begun. The weather has been mostly pleasant other than the mild humidity and rain we had yesterday. All the bulky and heavy sweaters can be put away for next Winter, and all the pretty clothes can come out of the closet. I thought I would start June off with a bright layout. As an add-on to my last post about the city visit, the two afternoons were spent with Grams at two nice mini-cafes. The food was "Yummy" and the decors of each place were cute.

It cannot be seen very well from this view, but I made bows to divided the pictures. I was too lazy to cut them and I kind of like having them attached. The journaling was done on the back of the restaurant's postcard. The front looks exactly the same as the business card in the top right hand corner.

Vacation Stress

You would think after graduating and being that it's summer, we should have nothing to stress about. It is all a myth. Everyone has been kind and supportive by saying that everything will work itself out. Even with two full days  of retail therapy and a gigantic hole in my wallet, it has not sooth the stress from the pass few weeks. I know I will miss all this free time that I have now when I start working in a week. But I am definitely super excited to get out and maybe learn a little more about myself and what I want in life.

During my last semester, I went to visit Grams in New York and stayed out with her for a few days. I spent most of the day by myself while she was at work. Walking around and down streets without a plan was some what adventurous. I took snap shots of things that caught my eye. I decided to resize them and put a bunch on a 4x6 canvas. I love photoshop! Still learning how to use the darn thing, but it feels so good when I understand what I am doing with the program. I love how they are little tiles and it lets me put so many pictures on a simple photo print.

A Fun Day in the City

I am going to the circus! Yay! Never been; so it is going to be " a fun day in the city". Though I have been doing lots of city visiting this last semester. The layout above is of one of those days. Sindhu and I went to the NYC for different reasons, but we were there the same day so we decided to go together and to hang out in the morning since our events didn't start until the afternoon.

She had never been to Rockefeller Center before, so we decided to make a stop there. Then we also had to go to Columbia University. Our plan was to buy a sweatshirt for our good friend for his birthday.  But we were also meeting up with him later that day, so we had to be sneaky about it and not tell him we were going to his school. That's why I didn't post this layout until now to not ruin the surprise. I made this layout for Sindhu for her birthday. I really like the white border on photos, so I actually made them myself for these pictures. It ended up looking like windows.
