Sometimes you think of an event and know JUST the paper you want to use. So it was with this outdoor, evening, FREE, classical music concert. This page was Bill's creation. The only stumble was when we discovered the paper in the foreground was not exactly 12 x 12. Fortunately, we had some other grass-colored paper to frame out the edges for a complete 12 x 12 finish. I didn't want to waste a whole sheet just to compensate, though. I cut out a 10 x 10 sheet from the center of the 12 x 12 backing to use for something later. I had a not-so-great digital camera plug-in for my PDA and took a couple pics of the orchestra and evening. Again, the photo corners were used to hold the program in place on the page.
And, we did get rained out. We had eaten a nice dinner picnic on the Boston Common through sunset. I think the orchestra managed to get through one complete piece, then the thunder and lightning (an oddity for Boston) threatened much rain. They played one movement from a different piece, and we all skedaddled! Bill used a text box in Word to create the "We got rained out!" embellishment.
He also found the lightning bolt pic online. I used some silver "carbon paper" to create the rain on the picture. Lucky for us, to complete the effect, we had a rain cloud sticker.
For the CD cover pic, Bill scanned it and cropped the image into Word and placed over a colored background for a framed effect. This is something he's very good at.
The next page takes us from the grass "Into the Woods".
