am I that transparent???

I've been working on some product samples for the store. I came home with some Fancy Pants transparencies and I wasn't really sure what to do with them. I've seen lots of different ones in the store but avoided them because well...I just wasn't that into them. I looked online to get a few ideas about how to use them then decided to just do my own thing. WELL now I am a complete convert. They add so much to a page and really give you a great place to start. You can layer paper under and over them, rub ons go on so smoothly and they look really cool! I have another one to work on tonight and I can't wait to get to it.

I layered the transparency over a patterned paper from the same line in a lighter colour to really make the designs on it stand out. It's hard to see in a pic but some of the strips of paper are under the sheet and some over. Two of the stars in the 'film strip' are under and the green one is pop dotted over. I used some rub ons on the twill tape, staples and brads. The bottom right jounalling spot is typed out on some kraft cardstock and put underneath except for the last strip which is stapled on top. If you would like a closer look it will be in the store soon.

If you've been a little unsure of what to do with these I really recommend picking one up. There are all kinds of them: girly, boys, baby.
