This week on The Artistic Biker Live! I did a page dedicated to Girl1’s high school graduation. Â I did a scrapbook type collage in the background. I made a pocket to keep a photo of her in her cap & gown clutching her diploma. Â Then I painted my version of it on top. Â I made the comment that I could do that because it’s not a scrapbook. Â Immediately my mom attacks me for a perceived slight to scrapbookers. Â I did NOT say anything bad about Croppers! I just pointed out a difference between my art journal and a scrapbook. <Grin>

Girl1 is a hi skul grajawit! Â I used to sing True Colors to her every night at bed time, so it’s only fitting for a video dedicated to her graduation.
