I found a book in the library that expands the use of saved acetate. The book is: Create Greeting Cards with Glass Painting Techniques, written by Joan Dale. Basically is describes how to use a fake stained glass liner (made by Plaid Paints in various colours) to outline borders of the templates provided on acetate pieces and then coloured in with acrylic paints. The results, as shown, are stunning. Although most of her projects center on card making, it wouldn't take much imagination extending this out to include Christmas decorations, or other holiday themed decorations. Just as a quick example, I could see using some of the larger Sizzix dies as basic forms to add extra dimension to scrapbook pages.
I can't wait to try this new technique, but for now I'm taking a temporary break from both scrapbooking and Christmas themed ornaments. (We just finished packing up and taking out the last Christmas crate for the year!) The break won't last long, I'm already missing the daily creativity time after only two days.
