Thank you very much for all of your very kind comments. This was a difficult page for me as I wanted it to be so "industrial". The oil well is from the Cricut cartridge My World and consists of 3 layers (shadow, base and pipe) and I took the top layer and added the black diamond stickles to give it some dimension. The oil splatters around it are the Ranger Black enamel that I just dotted on.
Thank you again!!
Happy Scrapping,
Angela
That is very cool. My DH best friend worked on that and one of those pipes crushed him. His wife got a call that he died and he hadn't. He had many broken bones, internal bleeding & lost his part of his foot. Those are great photos, and I love your oil well die cut! Where did you get that? Very cute page! TFS!
Awesome! I love how your cardstock mimics the pipeline!!!! It looks very cool! I love how you added parts of the flyer to your page. What a great memory to scrap!
ALASKA PIPELINE - July 10, 2010 - Fairbanks, Alaska
JOURNALING: We drove north of Fairbanks to visit an elevated section of pipeline.

TECHNIQUE NOTES: I'm not really an "industrial" look scrapper, but the hard cold steel of the pipeline in my photos just called out for that type of a layout. I started out with a plain sheet of black cardstock for my background and added some grey patterned paper that I cut scalloped edges on to mimic the round pipeline. I cut out pieces of an informational flyer that I had picked up and "saved" to add some interesting facts about the pipeline. I then cut a few oil related pieces from some cricut cartridges and added some Black Diamond Stickles and Ranger's Black enamel as some imitation oil drops and I was all finished.
Don't forget that not all photos have to be in a predetermined size such as 4 x 6. My larger pipeline worked great as a panoramic as the sky and grass did not add much but a very long pipeline captured the feeling of the seemingly neverending pipeline.
