Rub-ons & plastic salad bowls...
make nice little centerpieces for scrapbook workshops. Found these plastic salad bowls at Target yesterday afternoon with the intent of having them hold inks & stuff in my workshops tomorrow. Was just going to use them as they were...but then I got to thinking...I have lots of rub-ons...I could put them to use...and make something interesting (LOL - I have lots of time to screw around with stuff like this, right?).
I used Making Memories rub-ons and a couple from Heidi Swapp. I love the cursive Making Memories font. And Heidi's are awesome - they seem sturdier than some others I have encountered and have no "ghost-like" outline around the letters.
Just so you know, the one on the right says, "embrace imperfection." This is essential when working with lots of rub-ons on round plastic bowls.
Plastic salad bowls & rub-ons...all in all, a good match.

You're my favorite - I always scan the pages of my CK magazine looking for Ali's pages before I look at anything else. Are you really coming to Tulsa for the OK convention? I'd LOVE to take one of your classes.

this is pretty much the most awesome thing ever. ;) but i'm wondering, what happens when you wash them? will the rubons come off?

Okay, so here I was all poised and ready to run out and get the same bowls at Target first thing tomorrow morning and then...I read the rest of your post and saw that you had done these yourself. You are just too clever! Of course, you did! What was I thinking?
They are just fabulous. More inspiration, as usual. Thank you!

Those would be perfect on tables for a wedding or baby shower. Very, very cool idea!

These are so Cool! The sayings like "Embrace Imperfection" were your mantras, weren't they? You only used a couple during the class (embrace imperfection, go with the flow, and it's okay), what were the others?

Great! So I went to Target tonight and here I sit putting rub-ons on 2 acrylic salad bowls. I love them - so very cute! Thanks for the great idea.
