Printing journaling on transparencies gives scrapbookers the ability to place titles and journaling anywhere on a page without covering up the background paper or images. This technique can be used to take the place of printing directly on large format papers, such as popular 12"x12" backgrounds. It can also be used to overlap text on photos and embellishments. Pre-printed overlays or transparencies come in a huge variety of themes and can allow scrapbooker to create quick and easy layouts. On the sample scrapbook page shown here, the journaling boxes and title have been printed on a laser jet transparency sheet. The biggest challenge when using transparencies is figuring out how to attach them to your scrapbook pages. Since they are completely clear, almost any adhesive you use will show through. Below are some simple techniques for attaching transparencies and overlays to your layouts.
