March // Blog Design Contest!

It's time to start! As some of you already read, we'll be holding a blog design contest this month! Emily Grace and I decided to base the theme on a song - specifically, Dreams Don't Turn to Dust by Owl City. It seems like almost everyone here loves Adam Young, so it felt like a great choice! =D

First of all, here's the song and the lyrics for anyone who needs them...

*LYRICS*

Splash down in the silver screen

Into a deep dramatic scene

I swim through the theater

Or maybe I'm just a dreamer

Like a kite in the bright midday

Wonder stole my breath away

Shy sonata for Mercury

The stars always sing so pretty

This picnic will soon depart

Real life, I'm sad to see you go

I'll miss you with all my heart

But I'd rather be alone

'Cause I couldn't live without

Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk

So I'll drag the anchor up

And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

Dreams don't turn to dust

I made for the countryside

And my eyes never grew so wide

Apple raspberry river blue

I don't wanna leave without you

In the sound I gladly drowned

Into the emerald underground

I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see

Surrounded by all this beauty

This picnic will soon depart

Real life, I'm sad to see you go

I'll miss you with all my heart

But I'd rather be alone

'Cause I couldn't live without

Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk

So I'll drag the anchor up

And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

(I'm sad to see you go)

(But I'd rather be alone)

When tiger eyes begin making you blush

And when diamonds boast that they can't be crushed

Let 'em go, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

This picnic will soon depart

Real life, I'm sad to see you go

I'll miss you with all my heart

But I'd rather be alone

'Cause I couldn't live without

Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk

So I'll drag the anchor up

And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

Dreams don't turn to dust

Dreams don't turn to dust

I'll rest assured 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

The Rules:

1. The title of the blog must be either the song title, or a line from the song.
2. The entire design must be based on the song. Try to take inspiration from a couple of lines, and focus on that. Owl City is always very whimsical, so anything bright and happy will look amazing!
3. You must create your design either on your own blog, or on a test blog.
4. WordPress, Blogger, and all other blogging interfaces are welcomed!
5. Entries will be accepted from now until midnight on March 31st, and voting will be held for one week, starting April 1st.

If any of you have any questions or are unsure about anything, don't hesitate to comment! I will do my best to answer your questions. ;) So what are you waiting for? Go get started, and have fun!
