THE NERDIEST CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY GAME EVER

So earlier I was inspired to make a Cards Against Humanity game, considering I wanted to play it but technically I'd have to buy it first, and I'm broke. SO I MADE A NERDY VERSION, just for kicks. Here's how it turned out:

The Cards


I made two answer cards for every one blank card, and I'll add more as I think of them. As of now, there're 14 FITB cards and 28 answer cards. Here's an example.


On the back of the FITB cards, I drew an O. I drew an X on the answer cards. This helps distinguish the notecards from one another. 


I finished it with this strap I made out of an American Girl Doll box.

The FITB Cards

Here's a list of the FITB cards I made:

- The school trip was completely ruined by _______.
- Daddy, why is mommy crying?
- ________ is probably a horcrux.
- BREAKING: Captain America is having a scandalous affair with _______.
- Gandalf the _________.
- What's the secret to winning the Hunger Games?
- It's dangerous to go alone, take __________.
- I'm going as ________ for Halloween.
- Rumor has it, the next SPN episode will be called __________.
- Batman's new symbol is __________.
- Sam, Dean & _________.
- The villain in my favorite book acts like ___________.
- I used ________ to ward off spirits.
- The SPN fandom has a GIF for _________.

The Answer Cards:

Here's a list of the answer cards I made:

- Aggressive potato eating
- Manicures with Wolverine
- House party at Gollum's
- Laundry day with Castiel
- Aggressive Legolas Hair Flip
- Two brothers, a '67 Impala, and a crapton of pie
- Headless horse (wo)man
- The Next Marvel Hero
- Rock Salt
- My feels just exploded into a billion tiny peices
- A Christmas Card from the Winchesters
- I shared a Coke with Moriarty
- A slutty anime cosplay
- The doctor grabbed my hand and whispered "Run"
- Perdition
- Jensen Ackles... dancing
- The TARDIS
- Loki's Helmet
- Spock on a Unicorn
- Worst dad award
- A long, romantic walk on the beach with Deadpool
- Tony Stark singing Nicki Minaj in the shower
- A Loki fangirl attack
- The 11th Doctor

My DIY binder!!

So, lately I've started DIYing my school supplies. I'm trying to become a more organized, healthy person this year, and I'll be tracking my progress through this blog. So, here's how I made my awesome DIY binder!!


You will need:
- A binder
- A paper that will fit into the clear front pocket (I had to stick two peices together to make it wide -enough)
- Pictures (I printed them, but you could just as easily cut them out of magazines)
- Glue
- Scissors
- Pencil/Pen/Marker/Etc (Optional, for measurements or if you want to write/draw anything)

Step One: The Background



You could use patterned paper or just leave it blank, but I wanted mine to be full-color. I printed 9 different-sized magazine covers, all featuring some of my favorite famous people, and placed 7 out of 9 in a square-collage. Then, I cut up the last two and put them in the empty spaces that the magazine's didn't fill. Voi La! A magazine masterpiece!

Step Two: The Collage

Now, you can just stick all of your pictures down on the background. Here's what I did:


The Disney Logo


Lumpy Space Princess and a Minecraft Iron Sword


Stitch, the YouTube play button, a cross, and Gunter


Sam, Dean, Cas, Surprised Patrick, A few daisies and an anchor (My School Symbol)


A very Tumblr "Too Sassy For You" Heart


And finally, the Tobuscus logo.


The Finished Product!



My finished binder! This took me around three hours to make, but that's probably because I'm a perfectionist and way too creative for my own good. I'll be sure to post more about my progress as a healthy, more organized teen!
