Ok, I just have to rant about Rub-ons!!!
When I was making the album for my father-in-law's 50th birthday, rub-ons were on sale at my FAVORITE store in the whole wide world...Hobby Lobby. If you don't have a Hobby Lobby near you, I am SO SORRY! It really is my most favorite store in the world and I could easily spend a thousand dollars there in one trip! No JOKE!
Anyway, I bought several different brands of rub-ons and was so disappointed with most of them! I wish I had written the names down of the ones I didn't like, but I have run into this problem before with some I had bought from Die Cuts with a View...you know the kind that come in little pads and cost an arm and a leg? UGH! I have such a terrible time getting those to come of the paper onto my layouts!
The few that I can think of off hand that are terrific are Hobby Lobby's own brand called Stickabilities and the rub-ons by Top Line Creations. If I figure out the names of the others that work, I will share them, but this is also my question of the week!
If you use rub-ons, I want to know which ones you love and which ones drive you so crazy that you end up getting splinters in your fingers with the popsicle stick they came with to "supposedly" rub them off onto your project!!
Can't wait to hear what you've found that works!
Blessings,
Susan

I've used the Making Memories letter rub ons; the ones that come in a stack and are held together with a corner post...you just fan them out to use them. I hesitated to buy them at first because I'd never used rub ons before and they were almost $10. Well I'm VERY pleased with the ease of use (it's very easy to put them on the paper...they come right off!) and with how far they've gone. I've done a few pages and a ton of cards. I've even done cute little labels, scrapbook style, for my organizer baskets on my bookshelf! There are only two downsides that I can see to these: first, there aren't enough vowels, especially Es (are there ever enough Es?) and second when you try to use the letters closest to the post binding it's nearly impossible to get them onto the paper without cutting them out first. But if you cut them out it creates a lot of little edges on which to snag the stack when you try to close it up and store it.
