Top 5 list.....

[BriannaL]

So, I was thinking about the last few things I've created & I see a pattern of things - techniue, style, product, etc.

These are the 5 things I'm really into right now:
- inking (big surprise)
- circles (I figures out how to create text in a circle & I can't stop)
- chipboard - I'm way into this right now
- journaling on little strips of cardstock (some handwritten, some computer)
- ribbon

So, what's on your top 5 list?

I would have to say:

-Paint (edges of background CS, chipboard letters, etc)
-Ribbon
-Stitching (can't stop this one!)
-Flowers
-Chipboard (I bought a pack of the Fancy Pants chipboard and split it with a friend since $15 is a lot plus I could never use all that comes in the pack!)

Well, I have to say that I haven't done much "scrapbooking" lately but my scrapbook products are getting a workout. My top 5 would be:
1. inking but with the metallic fluid chalk
2. Chipboard- I bought 2 of the Fancy Pants packages but I'm ONLY using them as templates (+/- pieces) because $15 is ALOT just to use them out of the package.
3. Rubons - I've been making my own using the fonts and dingbats on the computer. I don't think I'll ever have to buy another rubon and I can have anything I want and in any color my printer will print.
4. paint - love painting chipboard and stamping with it.
5. Stamping - I can't get enough of the Rhonna stamps I bought. Stamping with chalk, ink, brush markers I love the Doodle look her stamps have.

Oh, do tell how you're doing the whole "rub-on" thing.....I'm very interested.

OH MY GOSH! You would not believe how easy it is to do. I'm on the cricut message board and someone post about it. I had to try it. Anyway, here are 2 links that talk about How-To.

The second one was more helpful because it gave directions members would post their experiences and first hand tips (what worked and what didn't work). The first one is just directions.

Thanks for sharing the info, Pamela. I've read about this before but hadn't seen so many people's experiences as I did on the Cricut board (plus there was an example). I have to try it soon!!! And just think - all of those dingbat swirls we can print to get the look of the expensive rub on swirls that are SO popular now!!! :)

I've only discovered this within the last couple of days and haven't "officially" used them on anything. I've just tried a couple and rubbed them on scraps. I'll post one in the gallery. I can't wait to really try something with them. I bought the transparencies at Walmart, the Hammermill ones 10 for 6.49 if you guys want to split it with me. I 've been using 1 over and over like the girls on the Cricut MB.
