If at first you don't succeed...

Those of you who read my blog often know that I am in love with the new rub-ons from Stampin' Up. I went to Dollar Tree and just wondered around looking for stuff I could use the rub-ons on. I found this picture frame and thought I could spice it up a little. I tried the black rub-ons on the white mat but when I pulled the film off part of the rub-on that I didn't want to come off did.

Here is the mistake:


So I took a piece of Certainly Celery and traced that mat to make a new mat for the frame. Then I used the brown rub-ons and tried again, this time I cut out the part I needed. I usually do that but for some reason didn't the first try. Here is the second attempt, I turned out better than the white anyway.

Somebody stop me

Or I will put a rub-on on everything. I bought these little pink buckets in the dollar spot at Target and used the white Stampin' Up rub-ons this time. The rub-ons didn't go on quite as smoothly as the glass and candles but it still worked.

Rub it on

I received a stamp order for my friend Kelley on Monday. I had ordered a couple of things with it but nothing too exciting (no stamp sets). However I did get a set of the rub-ons that were part of the sale-a-bration promotion. Below you will see the project that I made but Oh My Word! why did I not get any of those sooner. They are fantastic!! They are way better than any other rub-ons I have used. I had seen several people use them on some objects (as opposed to paper) and I loved the idea. So while at Dollar Tree today I picked up a couple of candles and candle holders. Here is how they turned out. (the picture is not real good of the glass, just imagine that it is better IRL)



I tried to get a close up of one of the candle holders, not sure if it helped though.



And here are the candles:
