I love that scrapbooking has brought so many products into the crafting world that can be used in other ways. I know rub-on transfers have been around for awhile but now they come in so many beautiful and fun designs and that's what I found on my last trip to the scrapbook store. Of course, I wanted to try them out right away and since these stones were within arm's reach this is what I did. These small ones look like they've been stitched together and would be just right for paperweights.
This larger rock would make a nice doorstop. Did you need last minute gifts or stocking stuffers? Here you go!
Oh this just looks so gorgeous :D

Clever! I had resisted buying transfers because I'm not into scrapping, but this makes me think I was being a bit narrow minded. Thanks for opening my eyes!

What a creative and thrifty idea! I just love this! I have so many scrapbooking supplies, and this is the perfect gift idea. I'm going to have to try the rub-on stitching, but I can see using my rub-on letters to make monogram doorstops for friends as well!
A great way to personalize a bit of the outdoors for fun decor in the home!

What a great idea! I have tons of scrapbooking supplies that I inherited. I'll have to pull the tranfers out and try this.

Sorry I'm seeing this so late. Definitely something we'll have to try since we're sometimes rockhounds.

I saw this yesterday and I ran out and bought some transfers right away. We had a little craft party last night with the kiddies and painted and rubbed and had so much fun. I will be posting those pics on my blog in a couple of days.
Thanks for the great idea!
