school of scrap challenge #2



here is my challenge for week #2.

i did three of the four electives, music, art & computer.

the music elective are lyrics from the song 'every moment' by joy williams:
"...running through yesterday into tomorrow
don't let it drift away
forget about tying the hands of time
give every minute to the one who's given today
so...don't let go
hold onto every moment
always know
hold on to every moment that you can."

the art elective was that i created my own 'doodled' patterned paper through several steps... hand-drawing, copying, coloring in the copy, copying several sheets, accenting with diamond glaze and bling. i used this paper to create the jumbo file folder (and even copied on the inside lightly), photo corners and the jumbo arrow.

the computer elective was the pink journal tag, the journal tag overlay, the dot circle* that i changed- size & color, then added bling & i created the copyright definition overlay.

*the dot circle actually is laid over the circle for the photographer's copyright marking. when my daughter had her senior pictures done, the photographer wanted to do this to make a poster for his studio, he said that my daughter was perfect for it~quite a ham in front of the camera!! my journal tag states "God made you an "original"~one of a kind~don't ever change." the story goes "when you were getting your senior pictures taken the photographer wanted to do this...he said that you were a total NATURAL!! imagine that!!
