Scrapbook Layout, 12”x24”: 2008 Election, Part One

Part One of Two. I was inspired by Nichol Magouirk’s July “Celebrate the Seasons” class layout {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-S8nKcjW28} from Two Peas In A Bucket to create this 12”x24” layout about the 2008 Presidential Election. I used papers and embellishments from the Scenic Route Paper Company’s “Liberty” collection. Thanks for watching & I hope you enjoy it!

It's important to me to scrapbook major events in my personal history, my nation's history & the world's history ~ anything I've lived through that I might want to remember how I thought and felt down the road. In my opinion, just because an event isn't positive, doesn't mean it isn't worth remembering. After all, I never did say who I voted for in that election ...

I know you said you use the gold tape in your ATG. Which size do you use? the 1/2 or 1/4 inch? I am thinking about getting an ATG just because they seem more economical. I just go the new Glue Arts dispenser and have already gone through 2 rolls in only 2 weeks.

I have the 3M Scotch ATG 700 {the yellow one} so I use the 1/2" wide tapes. I buy the 3M Scotch 908 Gold tapes in the 1/2" width and 60 yard length in quantities of 12 from an online store called Framing Supplies. I've always had wonderful customer service from them. I think the ATG is more economical than the GlueGlider and also seems like it has less waste.

More inspiration! Thanks again for doing this! I really like how you use a variety of different embellishments.

You're very welcome ~ thanks for watching & commenting! I do like the texture and dimension that a variety of different embellishments gives to a page & of course they're just fun to play with! :D

I loved seeing you do a layout! I've recently started scrapbooking and love it...so I enjoy seeing others do it. As for the fan issue, I may as well comment since everyone else has. Some people that have severe migraine issues can have one triggered by simple flickering such as the fan produces. I'm sure nobody would want to miss out on viewing any of your videos ever...not even with the fear of getting a migraine! :o)
