Mod Post: NEW THEME NEW THEME NEW THEME!!
Hi everyone! That's right, I have a new theme for you! Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! I used to LOVE these books in high school, and a new novel was just published this summer so I read that and then went back and re-read all the other books so you could say I've been on a Sisterhood kick lately, haha.
Anyway, stamping options are just limited to the four main characters because I thought it would be an easy way to get back into stamping (since it's pretty much dead now). Plus, no one ever likes getting minor characters much anyway.
As always, don't forget to vote on everyone who needs votes! And many thanks to the lovely in_omnia for making the beautiful stamps!

Stamps:
Bridget Vreeland: The athletic, daring friend who spends the summer at soccer camp in Baja California, Mexico. Bridget is impulsive, courageous, and a little reckless, but her extroversion and high spirits help her to make friends easily. She’s an ace soccer player, but she can sometimes be too aggressive, and she is often scolded for not being a team player. Bridget falls in love with a coach named Eric, an experience that leaves her devastated. Bridget’s mother died (probably a suicide) many years ago. If Bridget were a car, she would be an ocean blue Ferrari minus the brakes.
Adjectives to describe Bridget: Reckless, outgoing, athletic, impulsive, single-minded, energetic
Carmen Lowell: The thoughtful friend, whose first-person narratives open and close the novel. Carmen is the most introspective of the four girls, and she recognizes the importance of their friendship more clearly than the other girls do. Half Puerto Rican and half white, Carmen lives with her mother, Christina. Her plans for spending a summer with her father, Albert, in South Carolina are ruined when she discovers that Albert is engaged to a woman with two teenage children, all of them blond. If Carmen were a car, she would be a torqued-up cherry red gas-guzzler with a V-8 engine and four-wheel drive.
Adjectives to describe Carmen: Dramatic, philosophical, temperamental, traditional, emotional, outgoing, hard-working, introspective
Lena Kaligaris: The shy, beautiful friend who travels to Oia, Greece, to spend the summer with her grandparents. Lena is introverted and quiet, happiest when she can spend time alone and paint. She distrusts all boys, certain they like her only for her looks, and she automatically writes off Kostos, the Greek boy her grandmother tries to set her up with. Her inability to open up to people leads her to make a confusing mess out of an unexpected encounter she has with Kostos. Fearing she’ll be alone forever, she eventually forces herself to tell Kostos she likes him. If Lena were a car, she would be a hybrid with a state-of-the-art GPS that would be wrong sometimes.
Adjectives to describe Lena: Beautiful, artistic, introverted, mature, quiet, creative, maternal
Tibby Rollins: The rebellious, sarcastic friend who learns valuable life lessons thanks to her young friend, Bailey. Tibby is the only friend who stays home in Bethesda, Maryland, for the summer, and she has a healthy dose of scorn ready for all the people from her hometown, whom she sees as ridiculous losers. She spends her time working at Wallman’s and working on her documentary with Bailey. Tibby eventually learns to look beyond people’s exteriors and see what’s inside. If Tibby were a car, she would be a muscular Plymouth Duster, dark green, with a picky transmission (or a bike).
Adjectives to describe Tibby: Challenging, rebellious, creative, stubborn, sarcastic, clever, independent, messy
