Pharmacy Rocks My World on the side

Since sophomore year, I have been living with pharmacy students. Not only am I talking about my roommate,  my suite mates have been mostly pharmacy students too. Since the campus I live on tend to be Pharmacy and Engineering focused, it would make sense that I would meet some students in the other professional school. Christine and Kajal were Roxi and my suite mates during my junior year of college. The four of us have been working super hard to get together and to hang out. We finally got around to it last Thursday night by going out to celebrate Roxi getting her internship for the summer and the fact the four of us were out having fun together. 

Christine and Kajal are super cool people too. I am sad that they will be leaving to go on rotations next year. The picture above was our first picture together, the picture was taken at Roxi's 21st birthday. But I think the one we took last week was even better. Usually I do not post pictures, but I think it is too good to pass up. I copied Roxi and also made it my profile picture on Facebook. 

Back to the layout, I had  bought big shape cut outs from Micheals and wanted to make a big statement with them. I scrap-lifted the the big shape idea from somewhere. I wanted to off center the shape and I also wanted to leave some open space on the layout. Usually I like to fill the page, but I have been studying other designs and like how some scrappers have empty space on their pages and it still feels complete. The title works well too, "Beauty" is a great word to describe Kajal and Christine. I love using staples for attaching the ribbon. It is really difficult to attach mesh ribbon without having the adhesive show through.

Materials: 
Paper- Colorbok
Ribbon - Celebrate It
Adhesive chipboard - K & Company

Senior Design

So what are the chances that the title of your page would come out perfectly from a sheet of die cuts of alphabet letters. I am using the negative from the die cut sheets and saving the letters for something else. Maybe I will have a page called "Feed" since that is what I can spell with the letters rearranged. This semester has been somewhat interesting. Since it is my last semester, I have two senior design classes and three graduate classes. To emphasize on the "senior" part, I am beginning to have senioritis. I think is it fair though because it is the last full week of school. 
One of my Senior Design classes is called DEEF, short for Design of Environmental Engineering Facilities. Technically I should be working on our power point presentation, but I don't really feel like doing. Especially after two finals today, I think my brains needs to rest. So a little about the pictures, our senior design was to design a stormwater treatment system for a site. Our site is in Carteret at the water front park. We had to take a trip out there earlier in the semester as a class to check out the site. It was an okay trip, I just remember going to Denny's after with Kurt and Cassie to have a free breakfast.

Materials:
Paper- Double Mates
Letters - Colorbok
Flowers- Prima
Rhinestones - Studio 18
Ribbon - Target

Busy, Busy, Busy

Had to get up super early this morning, because it is Rutgers Day, also known as Engineering Open House. Been slightly busy all week with senior design and last week I took a small vacation, so posts have slowed down. But I have been still making layouts continuously.

It is going to be one crazy day, I will be selling burgers. Who thought that my Dad sent me to school to sell burgers. Hopefully this year I will take more pictures, I got the pictures above from someone else. So this layout is of last year's open house. We were all exhausted and tired after the long day. But we still went out to Applebee's later that night for half priced appetizers. It was my first time participating in the event/steering committee, but it was super fun. That is why I decided to do it again this year. The picture is a bunch of us on the roof top of our school of engineering building. Never thought I would ever get to go the roof top.

Whenever I scrapbook something about Rutgers, I cannot help but use the school colors. I was going to put the letters on the black and white pattern squares, but I thought it wouldn't show through. The letters look better on the black background.

Materials:
Paper - MM Mat Stacks, DCWV patterned paper
Embellishments - Soft Spoken
Stickers - Stickopotamus
