WATER
by Melodee Langworthy
Printing your photographs on transparencies can give new depth to your layouts, as Melodee Langworthy describes in her article, “See-Through Scrapbooking.” For this scrapbook page, Melodee wanted to convey the mesmerizing feel of the water, so she printed the picture of her son, Drew, on a transparency. Learn about how Melodee uses transparencies in this issue.

Creative Clipboards
Chris Randall transforms the commonplace clipboard into personalized works of art. With decoupage, charms, ribbon, fibers, and rubber stamping, the possibilities are endless.
Rusted Dreams
Nellie Wortman symbolically incorporates unusual elements of metal (often rusted) in her deeply personal artistic quest. Through her altered books, Nellie constructs pieces of her lost childhood with what was once discarded, now reborn and refashioned into something beautiful and meaningful.
See-Through Scrapbooking
Melodee Langworthy evokes layers of emotions by printing photos on transparencies. Adding depth and texture, transparencies open up another dimension of scrapbooking. Learn how to add a new level of excitement to your work.
My Life at 26
Janelle Smith engages the senses in her interactive book-in-a-box, inspired by her grandmother’s sewing room treasures. Janelle encourages readers to experiment freely with tactile details in their work. Consider Janelle’s use of perfume drops in a bottle, a book of mythology, images printed on wood, and even several envelopes to catch any items that may fall off, inviting viewers to not only see, but to feel.
