"Easter Memories" Scrapbook Layout

When I got the new Premium Permanent GlueTape, I wanted to test it on various textures and how well it would adhere. The Die Cuts with a View paper stack had the right papers to use. It had some with glitter, some with glossy finish and of course ones with regular matte finish. They all adhered onto my background without any issues because of the new Premium GlueTape. Definitely a must have in my scrapbooking process.
