Wax Paper Tip

Today I am sharing a little technique that I've not seen anywhere else, but probably does exist since there's nothing new under the sun. This was a journal created for my darling daughter. (Thanks to Dawn's wonderful tutorial on journal making, I created a number of journals as Christmas gifts.)

First of all, I found this great source of material for the inside covers of the journals. Here's the one that I wanted to use for my daughter's.



I know that I have shared this with a few of you because it was so funny at the time. Especially funny was the look on John's face as he swallowed hard trying to hide his shock. My daughter was visiting discussing some challenges she was facing at the office when she said, "I don't suffer fools like you, Mom." Now the thing is that she didn't say "fools." Substitute your own word, but suffice it to say that it deserved John's expression. Course I knew that it was a grammatical nightmare so didn't respond with anything more than laughter.

Anyway, that's just the background for wanting to use that song title. But, that lady on the cover...saucy? Really?

Using wax paper, I traced around the original picture and, using that tracing, cut the appropriate replacement over one of my daughter's baby pictures... one where she was looking particularly impertinent. :D



I see that I need to be more careful with my gluing since the paper is puckered. Perhaps it'll come with practice. (Yup, still in love with alliteration.)

Have a wonderful Monday!
