Rub offs / Transfers
I'm an avid scrapbooker, and have boxes of craft stuff, including a lot of rub offs. However, some of them don't want to rub off. I have resorted to cutting some out and sticking them down - obviously not ideal! Am I storing them incorrectly?

You do need to make sure that they are stored away from dust and with the backing sheet intact to keep the tacky bit tacky. The other thing to consider is the surface that you are rubbing on to. If it is rough, dusty or both, then the rubdown won't work. I prefer vellum stickers which give the same effect for less hassle.
You are the first scrapper who has "fessed up" on AB!! I am a scrapper, also a card maker. Have you got any good web addresses??

I cross stitch off and on, and have patchworked, have done tole painting, done the traditional decoupage but am not keen on the 3d, am too fumblefingered to quill, currently playing around with beads and wire. As a kid I used to love to do old fashioned paper sculpture and am hoping for a revival (wish I'd kept the books), also have messed around with calligraphy and (of course) origami. All of my family are crafty. I have tatted and done macrame too...oddly I really cannot knit or crochet!!!
What I love about making cards and scrapping is you get to use all the crafts, what the posh types call "multimedia"!!
