The transparencies can be found in the office supply store - for either ink-jet or laser printers. I have a box of transparencies that my mother gave me years ago that are made for copy machines, since a laser printer is pretty much the same, I use them in my laser printer and they work great.
Here are a few projects I've made with transparencies:
This is a card - the card base is made from a transparency. I put a photo on the inside of the card and used rub-ons around the photo. On the card front, I simply sewed a strip of paper, a flower and die-cut along the bottom.
This is a hybrid "Summer Fun Journal" I made for my daughter to write about her summer adventures. I used a transparency to print "Summer Fun" on and then sewed that to the front of the journal over the striped paper.
This is a hybrid card I made and wanted to print the round glitter embellishment on something transparent to add to the front of the card. I printed on a transparency and then added some vellum behind the transparency to make it a little less transparent.Do you have any projects made with transparencies or a clear book? I'd LOVE to see them if you do so leave a comment and let me know!
Also....I'd love to see any altered art projects you've got, no matter what they are made of.... just leave me a link in the comments section!

I had a comment Monday from JanMary that said:
Just getting into hybrid - any suggestions of sites/boards for inspiration? Thanks
Hi JanMary - I listed some a few days ago that I like to visit, here they are:
Scrap Gypsies
Scrapbook Dimensions Magazine
Girl Talk Blog - each Tuesday is "Altered Tuesday" so you'll find great altered projects that are hybrid then.
Digi Shop Talk Hybrid Gallery
Another new one I'm adding is: Digi Freebies Blog (free digi stuff!!)
But there are a LOT more. If anyone knows of a good site, leave me a comment so I can add it to the list!
Happy Wednesday :)

These are all very pretty! I have use transparencies on a few scrapbook pages . . . I like them. I've printed journaling on it, and on one page, I created a pocket for the playbill book for my Wicked layout! I don't actually have pictures of either project, but if I make something new, I'll send it to you.
I left a comment on your "Whatever Girlfriend!" project. I nominated you for the "Nice Matters" award. You've probably received it already, but I nominated you again. Visit my blog to see your nomination!
BTW, GREAT projects! Everything you do is so fresh, colorful, fun, and FABULOUS!
Well, actually yes, I do love working with transparencies and coincidentally just finished three projects using them, but I can't share them yet. ;) Love your work, Cindy. It is gorgeous as always.
Thank you so much for the hybrid links. I am going to check them out today! smiles...

Hi there,
Just incase it is of any interest to you, a while back i came across a british labels company who sold me a batch of laser labels for a really low price. If you are at all interested then it may be worth taking a look at their website.
