You know what transparencies are good for? EVERYTHING! Get ready to try a little bit of everything in one power class dedicated to our friend; the transparency.

All templates and instructions are provided, including extra templates for future projects. Photos can be added later, except for one photo - a scenery (no people) photo measuring 3.5 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall. The photo can be color or black/white - you choose! And since you're in the choosing mood, make sure you choose to take Transparency Techniques!
