Q & A for today
Karen said:
Q. - Have you ever done gel transfers onto glass slides?
A: why, yes i have as a matter of fact... and on acrylic pieces as well! Remember Casey's acrylic album? The technique is somewhat tricky and doesn't always work. Most people get really frustrated and give up. I have been one of those "most people" every once and again. The nice thing about glass and acrylic is you can wash it off if it doesn't work! then you get to try try again!
Q. - How did you do the glass slide on your Christmas layout? - it's a babe in a manger?
A: it is a babe in a manager and it's a transparency re-sized to fit a glass slide. EASY!!! :)

Q: You used some of the clear ultra thick embossing powder, some of them have cracks in it..did you just bend it when it was dry or stick it in the freezer to crack?
A: I bent it to crack it. NO NEED for freezer type devices. :)
Q: I have noticed that on a lot of your layouts/tags/index etc that you often have little bits & pieces eg: on your layout posted 24.10.12, the one with a lot of pics of yourself, there are a lot of astrological type symbols down one side. Are these rubons? or stamps?
A: That is a stamp. LOVE it. of course. It's space related, who couldn't love that stamp?
Q: On the little album for Jesyca's surgery, there are little images of insects, an ink bottle and an old typewriter (think that was on something else). Are these rubons on stamps?
A: Rub-ons. 7 gypsies. You can often find those in the clearance section of scrapbook stores. People are just at a loss as to what to do with them I think. I personally LOVE THEM!!!!
Q: you often have words, little phrases, numbers, things that say for eg: "Fig 1..." are these also stamps, rubons??
A: Ditto above answer.
Q: What is your fav brand of rub ons.
A: 7 Gypsies, hands down. Just because they are very creative in what they make. Most other companies stick with what's trending. I used to think 7 gypsies set the trends, but I've been out of the loop for quite some time so not sure about that any more.
Q: Do you have some stamps that you use over and over again?
A: YEEEESSSSSSSS! i'll have a lookie loo at some layouts and see which of my those stamps would be.
pce
thanks for the answers g. I am looking forward to learning the difficult technique of the PT transfer on the tag that you said is frustrating. Also the gel transfer on a slide. Lots to look forward to!!

I have a couple of questions...
On my set of Xmas tags I won from you last year,(which after i cleaned up my room, are now all out on display)! You used some of the clear ultra thick embossing powder, some of them have cracks in it..did you just bend it when it was dry or stick it in the freezer to crack..i love that look

Also..... (I did warn you, lol!) you often have words, little phrases, numbers, things that say for eg: "Fig 1..." are these also stamps, rubons??
What is your fav brand of rub ons, and do you have some stamps that you use over and over again?
I know all that is a bit of a mouthful...but I Just keep thinking of things to ask!
Thanks heaps!!!!
