Would I Do It Again? i think i've done this style to death, so probably not...
Notes / Comments: these turned out really well, although i don't dig them as much as the birthday cards i just did...

i used rub ons for the first time since i've started paper crafting... i have memories of rub ons coming with McDonald's Happy Meals and had shied away from them because they never seemed to transfer correctly when i was a kid... as the fabulous Ms. M said last night, "The Hamburglar always ended up without a head." i was surprised at how easily the rub ons transferred and i only screwed it up once (i accidentally scraped the rub on away, as you can see in the last picture)... overall, i give Luxe Designs rub ons a big thumbs up!

I used some Luxe rub ons on one of Tash's pages (I think it was 3m pros?) and liked them. I've also used some of Heidi Graces and some Making memories ones that transfered well.

I actually bought a rub on tool a couple of weeks ago. /blush Natasha keeps running off with the Popsicle sticks they include in it. I actually like it quite well, has a nice wide end so it covers more space on the bigger designs.
