cut it out
*bad photo disclaimer- look close and notice that the round window is cut out
cut it out
this is my layout, "world of crazy" which basically sums up my little family.
- cut out a window, just for fun from a layout.
- here, i cut a round window the size of the pattern in the overlay
- i machine stitched the overlay over the "hole"
- try using rub ons on the BACK of the transperency so the appear to be looking through the window
- cut off some of the scallops from the edge of the paper for an interesting look - be sure to save the lopped off scallops for another project
don't forget to "enter" for another chance at a fun NSD prize!
Love this idea. It's totally how I feel about my life (and I love it)

i love the blue & the magenta together!
Posted by: ivy | April 30, 2008 at 01:15 PM
I like how you cut off one side of the scalloped paper. That certainly maximizes the use of premium papers!
Posted by: Linda E | April 30, 2008 at 11:51 AM
I have a transparency that will work perfectly. In fact I didn't know if I was supposed to cut it or not! Thanks for showing me.

I love the scalloped cut cardstock. And the window is awesome. Love the LO. Wish I can sew though.
Posted by: Grace | April 30, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Super cute! I would have never thought of that!
Posted by: Jenny A. | April 30, 2008 at 10:32 AM

You are one talented lady! :)
Posted by: Jody | April 30, 2008 at 09:59 AM
i'll have to try and cut it out, i don't know about sewing...not crafty that way..but i'll see
Posted by: lynda paredes | April 30, 2008 at 09:35 AM
Very cute! I love the color combo on this one! :D
Posted by: Erica Hettwer | April 30, 2008 at 09:29 AM
Great title! I think I'm also living in the "World of Crazy".
I do like your idea of using the rub ons on the back of the tranperency. I like seeing the machine stitching but haven't tried it since I do not have a sewing machine. I have hand-stiched before but it doesn't look as nice.
Posted by: Evelyn | April 30, 2008 at 09:22 AM
I thought the title was cut out at first too! Neat idea!
Posted by: Lisa J. | April 30, 2008 at 09:17 AM
i really love the idea of the window! i'm going to try it out one of theses days! thanks for the inpiration ana :)
Posted by: Pearl R. | April 30, 2008 at 09:11 AM
I like the look of the transparency with the rub-ons put onto the back. Great technique!
