Adding ephemera to your page

I do love keeping ephemera although

tickets are really not the same anymore as

they can be printed now and aren't as snappy as

the used to be, however, you can see the

price, it has a date, and pretty much

does a lot of the journaling for you.

It's also neat that peeps down the line can see

what you were up to.

I did cut the tickets down from 8.5x11 paper they were

printed on and then of course the wrist bands

that really don't match anything on the page and I'm 

okay with that.

My DH knows that items like these are to be saved - and

he does it well since he tends to be the keeper of said items.

 The background was created with gelatos (the first page I got

WAY too carried away and had to start again).

I'm okay with the gelatos BUT  I don't feel mine are as amazing

as Wilna's or Adele's therefore the majority

has been covered up.

 Well dang now the "title" can't be seen well here

but IRL it's okay. I struggled with 3 styles of alphas

in several different places. Sigh.

But aren't those Heidi Swapp hearts peeking out adorable?

We attended the Blues Seafood Festival with our

friends with the express intent in seeing

Beth Hart - she is an amazing singer and performer.

She's sort of like Janis Joplin on steriods only Beth can 

actually sing. I discovered her lovely self

when she did several albums with Joe Bonnamassa

and we all know how I feel about him.

Best Blues guitarist ever.

I was actually impressed with my bad self getting photos

of a concert that turned out decent.

I really would've liked to smack some people's heads

out of the way though.

Just sayin....

Anyway the paper is the Paper Studio and Recollections

cardstock backing it with some gelatos and

Studio Calico thrown in.

Second Annual Red Rock Concert with Joe B

This concert is basically what we planned our vacation around.

We did it last year and we decided to do it again this year.

And we were not disappointed.

The three kings tour - Albert, Freddie and B.B.

See the rock behind Tom's head.

That's Red Rock and besides I have the tee shirts to prove it.

 Love the watercolor look to this.

Very cool.

He played two hours with a 15 minute and 3 guitar change encoure.

AWESOME AS ALWAYS.

Joe never disappoints, however, I'm hoping the next concert

I'll get to see/hear him do his own stuff.

Rocking out with the Blues at Red Rock

The concert was amazing.

Best one ever.

Joe Bonnamassa was awesome as always.

We have seen several of his shows in Florida and we traveled specifically to Red Rocks

to see him perform.

As the sun went down, the lights went up the beauty and music shone through.

The accoustics were amazing it was like listening to a CD only better. 

Shots were taken with my iphone from row 57.

The seats were terrific - no bobbleheaded giraffe in front of me, I had

a clear view of the stage and the jumbotron.

 And the jumbotron was great for some "closeups".

It was a great experience and a checkmark on my DH's bucketlist.

And I have a tee shirt to prove it!!
