Elaina Robertson's work will be preserved in hundreds of scrapbooks.

Last year, she designed a wintry scene inside a snow globe. And this year, with friend Logan Rivers, the two high school seniors used a cello as the focal point of a holly-covered pattern.

These designs provide the backdrop and program covers for the Jefferson City High School's Capitol Caroling, just as art students have done for the last 70 years.
