My favourite part of the kit was the <a href="http://scrapncrazy.codefox.com.au/shop/ozshop.asp?prox=s1&datloc=107&mdep=27">Hambly Press transparency</a> it was so great to be able to cut out the journal block I wanted to use and attach it to my page before writing on it with a thin-line permanent marker. I think they look effective. I also loved the giant chipboard flowers by <a href="http://scrapncrazy.codefox.com.au/shop/ozshop.asp?prox=s1&datloc=75&mdep=63">Deluxe Designs</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_NIKQt3R9GhY/SBglpeVSv1I/AAAAAAAAAE8/a-kU9WjaoQc/s1600-h/Cheeky+Grin.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194943564619104082" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_NIKQt3R9GhY/SBglpeVSv1I/AAAAAAAAAE8/a-kU9WjaoQc/s400/Cheeky+Grin.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It's not particularly clear here but I have cut the circles on this printed paper so that there are some empty sections betwween the coloured rings, then applied a circular journal transparency over the top.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_NIKQt3R9GhY/SBglpuVSv2I/AAAAAAAAAFE/wxZYq27lX6g/s1600-h/Just+ImagineKH.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194943568914071394" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_NIKQt3R9GhY/SBglpuVSv2I/AAAAAAAAAFE/wxZYq27lX6g/s400/Just+ImagineKH.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This layout is for a competition on Scrappit (my old DT site).
