Adding elements

I really wanted the elements of the chalkboard to look hand drawn, and I found this image of a Popular Mechanics magazine cover.  I opened the image in a new document and traced the ribbon, then copied the paths into my working document.  The great thing about paths is that you don't have to worry about file size or resolution, since paths aren't "real" until you do something with them.  I haven't decided how to use the image yet, but this way I'll have it when I need it.
