This is for the Sketch Challenge. I tried a lot of variations, with ribbons and paper strips, but then I used the word art and I like how that came out. The background was originally all white, and I tried to fill up the white space with a variety of things, but nothing looked right. Then I tried layering the text paper over it and changing the opacity. Now it doesn't look quite so empty.

Hardest part was figuring out the date of the pic. Luckily my mom was able to work it out for me. TFL!
