My rubons ...

Here I have used rub on brackets around the photos.

Flower power ...

"Hello Meredith,

I love using Rub Ons but don’t use them a lot. Some are much better than others,
I have used Rhona Farrer ones on my layout and they are really good (the writing and the flowers on the frame). The black boarders are Rub Ons also. The flower at the bottom is handmade.

If you like flowers its worth a look as Tammy’s is beautiful.
Meredith you may be able to give a link for this, I just goggled Tammy Kay Simply Me and it came up as Simply Me As promised The Flower Tutorial.

Thanks Janice"

Well Janice I googled ... and found two flower ideas by Tammy!! So here are the links! The second one is for the flowers Janice has made.

Just another note on google searches ... when I am looking for a particular person's blog I use this Google address ... http://www.google.com.au/blogsearch

Janice your layout is gorgeous! Love the rub on on the bottom left corner and the top right corner ... they look just right there! Beautiful flowers, words and photo!

Wow Tiff will be blown away when she gets home to see all this work on the blog!! The rub on challenge has certainly brought a few out of the woodwork!! Hope we have a few more in the pipeline. I might even find some time to finish off an idea I have ;-)

Rub a dub dub three pelicans on the jetty ...

"Hi Meredith,
As promised to Tiff and Sandra I have scrapped this photo, yes there is a tiny bit of rub-on, just enough to make it count. Very different I think to most of my stuff, but hey. Anyways cheers,
Trish S."

Hey , Trish, really love the black rhinestone circles and the stamping on the top left!! Wow!! And I love the photo so much ... was at Coffin's a few weeks ago and thought of your photo!!

Marika's layout ...

"Hi Meredith,

Just sending you my rub on challenge wasn't sure if it was you I should send it too.

Thanks Marika"

That is fine to send it through to me!!

Oh wow what a beautiful photo!! The rubons look very effective around the photo and the buttons and brads are very effective in creating a flow effect in the layout.

Jenny's layout ...

"I hope this has worked. I had all sorts of trouble scanning the other which was on textured grey card, so I hope this doesn't have too much missing, but you should get the idea. "My hands", Sandra, did the rubbings for me. I 'stitched' it with 'paint' so there may be bits missing or not quite matching.

Great layout Jenny ... the "sparklers" look excellent! Don't kids love them!!

Sandra's rubons and embossing ...

"Hi Meredith
Here is my rub-on entry.
Tried something else new with this layout, embossing.... what a mess!!!
I am glad no one walked into my scraproom while I was using it... there was white powder Everywhere! They might of thought I had a drug problem! You can't see it very well.. (bloody scanner) but I embossed the xmas tree.
The title is rub-ons (note to self... no more rub-on titles!.. look how wonky it is!) and the 'believe' in the middle of the template.
Have a great night
Sandra"



Wow Sandra you have been busy ... must be the white powder helping with your speed!!

The tree looks gorgeous, I love the look of the title and the "believe" rub on is beautiful! Great photos to have of this special time!

Rub on frustration ...

"Hi Meredith,

Rubons, well I have come to the conclusion that I do not get along with them!!! I don't know whether they were dodgy or if it was just me? But the whole packet just wouldn't work, so one whole LO went in the bin, along with the rest of those rubons. (frustration plus!!!!!) Do they go off?

I managed to salvage the photo and so here is my lame entry, if you look hard enough the little bird is a rubon. Bring on the next challenge!! LOL

Cheers Karen D"

Well even though it was frustrating Karen it is a great layout! Love how you have done the title. Really like the cluster in the bottom right corner too! And your designer clouds!! Very nice! Oh and I have some of that fabric paper (the tree one with the cream background) ... should pull it out and use it!!

Rub a dub dub ...

"Howdy Meredith,
Attached is my layout for the 'Rub on' Challenge. The rub on at the top of the page says - One of the blessings of old friends is that you can afford to be stupid with them. The word 'cherished' is also a rub on.

Underneath the photo it reads -

"We had won the A Grade netball grand final this day and Ivko proposed to you amid celebrations after the match. At Heather's later in the evening the girls decided to dress us up as bride and bridesmaid.

I love this photo as this reminds me of all the fun times I have with you, being ridiculous, acting silly and laughing until our stomachs hurt. I treasure your friendship Zan, it is priceless to me".

Hope you are having a great weekend.
Cheers,
Tracey"

What a special layout Tracey ... very heartfelt words too. Love the bright colours, the rub ons and the photo!!
