Rub-Ons GONE WILD

I had this sheet of patterned paper. I honestly don't even know where it came from. It was the sweetest shade of pink with these cute little retro dots on it. I have wanted to use this "dag-gone" (don't ya love my word there) piece of paper forever now, and finally this sweet picture of our Marlie & Keith was perfect for it. But WHAT on earth was I going to match to it? I found some great colors of cardstock, but they were SO BRIGHT, but nothing else matched. So here it is - RUB-ONs GONE WILD!!!!! Totally fitting for April Fool's Day.


I had this stash of DCWV Rub-ons I had bought from QVC last year, and some Love, Elsie rub-ons I got at Hobby Lobby (I think). And I decided to just do it. And so I began to layer. The white DCWV went on first, and then I sprinkled the colored Love, Elsie rub-ons around. The piece of Chipboard was sort of hanging out, and it got "rub'd on" to!
Supplies:
DCWV Blue Cardstock
CTMH Pink Cardstock
Patterned Paper - UNKNOWN
DCWV Whimsical Rub-ons
Love, Elsie Rub-ons
Chipboard is Autumn Leaves

You will notice a lot of my papers or supplies are not the NEWEST trends, but they are from my stash and I intend to use them - I LIKE THEM! But I have tried to find different ways of using these items. I have found I really like layering the KI Memories tags that were sold in sheets. I have TONS (from being assistant manager at the scrapbook store years ago.) And you will see another page posted this week using this again. WOOHOO!
Supplies Used:
DCWV Cardstock
KI Memories Patterned Papers and Tags
American Crafts Letter Stickers
Liquid Glass (over letter stickers)
Colorbok journaling Tag Pad



Ok I know this one is WILD! But I actually like how it turned out. I dug into all my chipboard letters and played around! These pages were all done on the same day at a crop and you will see I was really enjoying my liquid glass adhesive that day! LOL!
Supplies:
DCWV Cardstock & Patterned paper
Chipboard Letters: Target $ Spot, Oriental Trader, Little Davis
Unity Stamp Co. Just Polka Dots Background Stamp
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Liquid Glass used in centers of letters, and to cover a few flowers on patterned paper (not really showing up in photo - sorry!)

It is my GOAL to get caught up on my scrapbooking, and trying to use my stash up as well. I have a couple of more pages to share this week, but they are going to get posts of their very own since they have a couple of things I want to highlight.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, and blessings for your week! NOW GO CREATE SOMETHING!!!
