Presented at a scrapbookers’ convention
in Orlando, Fla., the record-breaking album measures approximately
9 feet wide by 12 feet tall, contains 20 pages of photographs
and requires at least two adults to turn a single page.
The Dodge brand’s album trumped the previous
record, which was set in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and
measured 3.9 feet wide by 7.8 feet tall.
Photography in the album highlights the history
of the Dodge minivan since its introduction in 1984. The album
showcases the latest innovation in the Dodge Grand Caravan,
the Swivel ‘n Go™ seating system, which offers second row
seats that swivel 180 degrees to face the third-row with a
removable table that installs between the two rows, covered
storage bins in the floor of the second-row, third-row uncovered
storage and fold-in-the-floor third-row seating.
“We embellished the Dodge Grand Caravan
with 35 new and improved features, so it made sense to invite
some of the world’s best scrapbookers to experience the new
features of our minivan and add embellishments of their own
to our giant photo album,” said Mike Accavitti, Director –
Dodge Brand Marketing and Global Communications. “In addition
to being a top performer in the minivan market, the all-new
2008 Dodge Grand Caravan is setting the standard for storage
and organization on the road. With its exclusive Swivel ‘n
Go™ seating system and table, the Dodge Grand Caravan converts
quickly and easily into the perfect scrapbooking space for
busy scrapbookers ‘on the go.’”
Scrapbooking Tips, Tricks and Trends
In addition to breaking a World Record,
Dodge teamed with premier scrapbooking expert and contributing
editor for Better Homes and Gardens Scrapbooks etc., Polly
Maly, to share the latest tips to help everyone from novice
to avid scrapbookers find time to get started or catch up
on scrapbooking, stay on top of the latest ways to customize
pages and identify time-saving techniques, including:
The road of life: Scrapbooking preserves
the memories from the road of life, but sometimes the road
turns before you’ve had a chance to catch up. Don’t let that
road lead you astray. Stay current on your scrapbooking by
taking your scrapping essentials with you in the 2008 Dodge
Grand Caravan and scrapping on the go – during soccer practice,
waiting for the carpool, during ballet lessons or while on
that special vacation – using the new Swivel ‘n Go seating
system and table.
Inspired organization: Need some inspiration
for organizing your scrapping space? Head to your local discount
store and cruise the kitchen and bath storage aisles for organizational
ideas, including: -Paper towel holders
to hold spools of ribbon;
-Decorative glass jars to house buttons
and smaller embellishments; and
-Utensil jars for the perfect tool
caddies.
Organize and categorize: Whether
your scrap space is a corner of your dining room table or
a dedicated room, organize your supplies by category. Storing
all of your embellishments, stamps, paper and tools together
means more time scrapping and less time hunting for your supplies
as you head out to crops. Plus, for on-the-go scrappers, the
new Dodge Grand Caravan has a place for everything from the
innovative in-floor or overhead storage bins to the dual glove
boxes to available map pockets behind the driver and front
passenger seats.
Keep your eye on the prize: When designing
a scrapbook page, decide first on the theme of your page and
choose photos that will visually tell the story. Then, pick
one focal-point photo that reinforces your page idea. To draw
the viewer’s eye right where you want it, either enlarge your
focal-point photo or treat it to a special position and mat
it.
Don’t forget to live a little: Let
yourself off the hook for being “behind” in your scrapbooking.
Give yourself credit for the memories you’ve already preserved
in a beautiful way, and just enjoy the creative outlet that
will pay tribute to you, your family and friends for years
to come. Treat yourself to a change of scenery or a mini-vacation
by taking a road trip to a favorite scenic destination or
a scrapping vacation in your 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, packed
with all of your scrapbooking essentials and the work-space.
