the thing that gives me the most grief when I do a layout is the title. Firstly I take an age to think one up and then when I select an alphabet to go with my layout said alphabet does not stick, you would think something that is advertised as a sticker, would actually stick to something.

This isn't anything new to you is it? I mean we went through Heidi Swapp and the non sticking letter but we loved them so we stuck them down ourselves, but lets face it they were totally devoid of any stickiness by the time we got our grubby little hands on them, ok so we got past that nothing much of Heidi's stuck, now I am faced with almost every pre-adhesived letter type thing to be a total disaster.

If you look to your right you will see my brand new pack of American Crafts chipboard thickers, that just happily flaked off the backing page, so far the only thickers I have found that stick are the foam and the felt, the vinyl ones have some strange concoction on the back, 1/2 stays on the sheet 1/2 comes off = a whole lot of mess.

They aren't alone though I gleefully opened a pack of Making Memories noteworthy letter and after trying to encourage them to stick I relented and glued those suckers down, surely they could put a little more effort into product testing and making sure the product does what is says, you know none of them say alphabet sheets, they all say stickers!!!!

Don't even get me started on the 10 packs of 7G rubons I got in the mail this week.. ALL OUT OF THEIR PACKETS!!! or the rubons you need a pile driver to apply.. I will leave rubons for another time.
