How are your Altoids doing?

Yeah.....we want to see those altered Altoids tins!!!!! *ducking the multitude of flying objects*

Marilyn I was just wondering how everyone is doing with their April Challenges? We

How is that rub-on thing going, Marilyn? Are you happy with your results? Have you used colors?

M-C

Love it! I printed some on transparency but was not happy with the results. Tried both sides but found it quite faded. I cut a 8 x 8 page protector and printed a clipart image in Photo & Best Photo on my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 and they both turned out lovely...PP's for me from now on!!! I will scan the images and put them up so you can see the result.

Marilyn

And you rubbed the image from the page protector and it worked! That is beyone cool! Can't wait to see!

M-C

Right M-C, I have put them up in my webshots in the Other Stuff album. They are the first two photos.

Wow, those came out great!! Thanks for trying it and sharing the results! Arleen

Isn't it cool? Now you can custom make your own Rub-Ons....it is so useful!!! How often do you find that you don't have what you are looking for and need to go in search of just the right thing. I think it will also be really great for card-making!

Marilyn

You hardly need to do any rubbing with the page protector ones. I allowed them to air dry about fifteen minutes and they looked dry, although I didn't touch them. On the PP it looked really faded and I thought it hadn't worked for me again. When I turned them over to apply to the cardstock the image density increased immediately the PP contacted the card and my finger would probably applied enough pressure but I used the lollipop (popsicle) stick to burnish anyway.

Marilyn

Oh my!!! I'm digging for PP's right now............I had not tried them yet.......did the entire image come off of the PP? Sandy

M-C, Received a reply from the original author. Sent you a private e-mail with info and permission. Sandy

Sure did....just left a very faint residue on the PP that I wiped off with a damp cloth. I am currently trying out a photo of DGD that I have hurriedly taken out of the background. I will put up the results if it turns out OK. Oooooh...this is exciting!!!!!

Marilyn

And page protectors are cheaper, too.

Do you notice how smug Ms. Marilyn sounds? Hummmph Just becuse she is so prompt and on the ball..... I'm working..I'm working... Jeeze!

Why Ms. Sabrina...I think you need a large wooden spoon! Seems you are in a stirrin' ...rather than workin' mood....LOL Stop causin' trouble and get back to alterin' that tin.

Marilyn *who has gone to polish her halo*....ROFL

I cant think of how I want to decorate the outside...But You will see it soon, will probly finish it tonight!! Also have another tin, its smaller than the altoids, its altoids gum. I thought I would try something with that. I like the gum just not the mints...! go figure!
