Music and Scrapbook Pages - Part 11 - Waxing Rhapsodic

This page was all Bill. He loves Gershwin's music - especially Rhapsody in Blue. When we found out The Boston Pops was to perform an all Gershwin program - including Rhapsody - we knew we had to go. He started very simply with a sheet of darker blue paper.

Did I say ALL Bill? Well, I did suggest the sticker. And I did have to cut out this oboe he printed from an image he found online. Boy was that tedious!


The musical notes are Quickutz die cuts from small gift boxes Bill salvaged from some junk at work. He had thought I would find them useful for some creative project. He used them up for this page. Great recycler!


The picture of Gershwin he found either online or from the second program. But a great pic! The vellum with sheet music helped to fill in the blank space - and we use the left overs again later on one or two other pages.

The metal accents complete the page by reminding us of Gershwin and his piano. What a genius he was - and too young (only 38) when he died! Think what else he could have created.



For the next page - time to sing and "salute".
