I wanted to share a recent layout I made with papers and transparencies from InfoCrea.

SmileWithYourEyes-sm
Check out the details:

SmileWithYourEyesDetail1-sm
The title was put together with a mixture of acrylic paint and vinyl stickers.

SmileWithYourEyesDetail2-sm
I adhered patterned paper to the back of some Idea-ology circle fragments and then continued the circle theme with a collection of random red buttons.

SmileWithYourEyesDetail3-sm
I cut a strip of patterned paper and punched it with a border punch.  Then I painted the bottom edge with watercolor paint, pleated it, and stitched it down.  I also added a little vellum ruffle.  Truth be told I am a collector of transparencies and vellum, not a user.  But I'm on a transparent/translucent kick right now and having fun with both on this layout!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. My husband just walked into my studio and started laughing.  It turns out that not only do I have paint all over my hands (normal), but I've even got it all over my face!

Oooooops!  😉
