Old School

Old School.  Thanks so much for the nice comments, I am grateful to be appreciated.  Part 2 tomorrow.  IF I can put together and outline this afternoon than next week I add some instruction on composing pages.  A little extra help for those that are new to Scrapbooking, and some tips for the rest of us, who become stumped from time to time. 

Chalkboard Alpha

Chalkboard Alpha.  It includes the Capitals, lower case, numbers and punctuation.
Some 10 years ago, my husband and I were visiting an elderly lady, whom we adored.  They started talking about a recent election and she was dissatisfied with the results.  I had thought she had probably voted for the candidate who had lost, and was surprised with her response.  She had not voted since the first time she had been eligible to vote, some 60 years before!  Don't worry this is not about politics.

In the primary pamphlet, our County Auditor stated:
Only 50% of the counties eligible voters were registered to vote.
Only 20% of those registered would exercise their right in the primary.

Now if you follow this through, it means 10% of the total voters, actually vote.  In a primary, the candidate's for the General Election are selected.  Some positions are actually filled, such as Judges who win with a majority of the ballots cast.

So why do the people think that their leaders are so out of touch?  The answer should be fairly clear.  You may complain, but you won't turn out to vote.

The deadline is nearing to be Registered for the General Election.  Get registered and then vote.  How to vote?  You'll have to  decide.

File Tab Template

File Tab Template.  It was originally set up as a .psd file, however it would have loaded at 107 mb.  To make the download smaller, it is loaded in 3 .png files and is about 30 mb. 

1. Open a 12 x 12 new document and drag all 3 files into the new document. 
2. As I have been teaching here, add a new layer to add a color and crtl +g. 
3. Set the layer to overlay, or play around with the settings until you are happy with the results. 
4. OR click on the layer you would like to be filled with paper and drag a paper you like in, crtl+g.
5. If you would like, you may  duplicate the layers and move extra "tabs" into your layout.  Only the top layer will be seen in it's entirety, so with your move tool selected, rotate the layers slightly askew until you have the desired effect.
6. Merge the layers.

Label Alpha in Blue

 Label Alpha in Blue. This includes the alpha, numbers and strips shown. I did enlarge the alpha strip slightly, so that the alpha ran off the page in the preview.  The children have returned to school and I have plenty of time to Scrapbook again.  Jack was on vacation, and invited me to go with them bowling.  The summer reading program through our library rewards the children with a pass when they have completed the requirements and they ALWAYS use the pass to go to the zoo.  We have had a wonderful summer together, and I'll miss them.  I have gotten a little canning done and made about 40 loaves of bread.  Welcome back Crosstown. Have fun.

Beachcomber

Beachcomber.  Glad you all liked the photo's.  Hello France. 

Whale Beach Alpha

Whale Beach, Punc and numbers are included.  The capitals are in yesterdays post.  We have company coming so I'll see you in a week or so.  If you have any problems with the links, leave a note and I fix them when I get back.  Have fun.
