More Classroom Fun

This is my spin on a poster I've seen a lot on Pinterest in the last few days.  Sort of a words of encouragement type of thing to hang in the classroom.  I took away some of them and added others that were much more appropriate for art class.  I created this in My Digital Studio.  It took some time because first I had to create the notebook paper.  I'd found a website with notebook paper you can download but it only downloads as a PDF, which as far as I know, can't be uploaded into MDS.  So I started with a white rectangle, then made a square punch in Pacific Point.  I stretched the square the width of my white rectangle, then narrowed it as much as I could.  After that it was just a series of cut and pastes.  I pasted it once, lined it up, made it a group of two, pasted again, lined it up again, grouped the four, and then pasted the group of four until I filled the page.  I did the same thing to make the Real Red strip for the left margin.  After that, I had to make each "We do" it's own text box to make them line up on my paper.  I'm really pleased with how it looks though.  I may try having it printed 11x14 through Walgreen's website so it's more of a poster for my classroom.  That's why there's some extra space on all the sides!
