I love using patterned transparencies on scrapbook pages - they add a lot of visual interest and dimension since you can layer items both underneath it an on top. I started this page with a neutral background and a transparency printed with white script. As I added layers to the page, I stuck with soft colors and subtle patterns that don't draw attention away from the photo of my boys exploring at Platte River State Park.
Here's a peek at how this page came together. There's a full start to finish tutorial of my process over on the Studio Calico blog - you can download it right here!
