We perform our own version of magic every time we scrapbook. We can transform paper into a flower or other embellishment, create illusions with pop dots or ink, and make journaling blocks disappear. Your challenge today is to do two of those three magic tricks with this great sketch from Rochelle Spears.

Will you transform the sketch like I did by using 2 photos instead of one? Or maybe you will make the journaling on the tag disappear by tucking it behind the photo. I also used clear stickers to give the illusion that the sentiments were written directly in the papers.
For an additional challenge, create a magical mix by using papers from different collections or manufacturers. I used 3 different collections: black & white floral background paper from Page Evans “Splendid” collection, blue paisley paper from an extremely old DCWV paper pad, and the yellow dots paper came from my First Edition Paper “Wanderlust” paper pad.
I can’t wait to see what magic you create on your layout!!
