TRANSPARENCY SHEETS.....HELP

[Scrap4fun]

I have the pictures printed on transparency sheets and also photo paper. I want to layer them to give a different look but I am having a hard time figuring out how to adhere them together, if at all. I have never tried this technique.

Any ideas??

I think you'll ave to use some kind of hardware, either brads or eyelets. You could adhere the edges and then hide the adhesive under a border or frame around the images.

Either way, sounds neat, good luck!

Here's a scrapbooking site with an article.

How do I attach it to my layout?
My first suggestion makes some people uncomfortable: Don't attach it at all. Transparencies are highly static. They tend to cling well to whatever paper you lay them on. If you intend to place your layout in a page protector, you can rest assured that the page protector will hold your transparency neatly in place. No adhesive needed!

However, if this takes you too far from your comfort zone, there are some adhesive options for you. Remember that anything attached behind a transparency will be seen. Tape, liquid glue, and glue stick will be discernable. If you want invisible adhesion, here are a few options to consider:

• Attach with brads, eyelets, or nailheads
• Apply your favorite adhesive to a place that will be concealed a photo or embellishment
• Sew it on
• Staple it on
• Attach with a ribbon or bow
• Use photo corners on all four corners of the layout
• Use paperclips
• Use a clear, spray-on adhesive

Transparencies are fun! They can soften or brighten (when you layer the same image over the original, for example).
