Try a New Technique

Good morning, today I am sharing my card for Fussy and Fancy's Try a New Technique Challenge. I have to say that new techniques alway scare me. I always feel like I am going to mess things up and I hate waisting my supplies. I decided to use my Score Pal to emboss the background paper. Do you think I went overboard on the Glam Rocks? Maybe I did, but I still think it looks pretty cool. The image, Cutie Skull, is from our sponsor MelJen's Design.  

Supplies:

Cutie Skull 

Sentiment by Wild Flower Kids

Music Saves My Soul Saturday

It has been quite a while since I played along with Marcia's Music Saved My Soul, I'm not really sure why since I can't do anything unless I have my music on. Well I figured I would play along today. I am sharing a video by Blue October since I saw them in concert on Sunday. 

I had a hard time picking a song, they are my favorite band and I want to share every song from every album with you, lol. I decided to pick "The Feel Again (Stay)" because this song and video have a very strong message.

I hope you enjoy and if you want to here more of their music you can click on my little music player on my sidebar. I warn you that there may be some bad language in some of their songs. I checked this one and didn't hear any.

Here are a few pics from the Blue October concert on Sept. 11,2011 at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA. They aren't the best quality but I wanted to share a few with you.
