Banana Split Sunday - Rub A Dub Dub

Good Morning and welcome to Banana Split Sunday :)

Last week's Inspiration Challenge inspired some really cool creations! If you haven't checked them out you should, just scroll down to that post and Mr. Linky will still be up so you can see them all :) Thank you so much for playing along with us. We love looking at your projects and getting inspired by YOU!

This week's challenge is call "Rub A Dub Dub" and we are challenging you to use rub-ons on your project. I have also seen them call 'press-ons'. The prize this week, to be randomly drawn from the Mr Linky entries, is a sampling of rub-ons from 2RedBananas so be sure you play along with us. If you need some rub-ons, click here to see the ones available in the 2RedBananas store.

As I was looking through the projects that our dt made for this week, I realized that we have the most amazing dt. Thank you ladies for the time you spend each week sharing your INCREDIBLE talent with us!! :)
