I'm not sure if it is because I was a child of the 70s/80s or what, but I'm totally hooked on Viewmaster reels... especially in scrapbooking kits. I don't know what it is, but reels are one of those elements that can always make me buy a kit. Maybe it is because reels are an unusual element... maybe it is because I'm totally nostalgic. I don't know for sure, but I'm loving them.
Take a look at some of the kits out in digiland that have Viewmaster reels in them.
Fiddle Dee Dee has two template sets with reels in them... *swoon*
Paula has these fun reels and the Viewmaster. :)

And Studio Wendy has some neat templates you can add your own pictures to or use as is.

And some history and information about Viewmasters and the artists who created them...
- Thomas produced her first reels for View-Master in 1946 –a series of Fairy Tales and Mother Goose rhymes that are still in circulation. According to one source, Thomas “developed special methods of close-up stereo photography and modeling which is now in common use by major motion picture studios” (John Waldsmith, Stereo Views, 1991). She created scenes of such detail and attractiveness that you feel you could step inside and look around a corner at a complete world.
- Martha Armstrong. This the person responsible for many of View-Master's animation sculptures. She was a master miniatures creator and sculptor in the 50s and 60s.
And who wouldn't want a Viewmaster camera???

Well, that is it for me and my Viewmaster obsession (for today at least... lol).
Let us know if you have any "reel" obsessions or fun pages with reels.
