Rub it on

I almost always start off the Challenge Heaven challenges by doing the sketch - this month was no different. It was a funky sketch by Heather Waldron and by some quirk of fate I already had the right number and size of photos printed.

While I was looking for the perfect embellishment (I never did find the one was after) I realised I had no less than one million packets of rubons in my stash. So, I decided to blow the dust off them (literally) and put them to work. I used some from three different packets so now I have 999 997 (is that right?!) packets left - if you'd like some rubons please let me know I'll happily send you a handful or three. I love how the Jenny Bowlin ones just slide right on and hate how the Kaiser one resist all attempts to be adhered.

Anyway, here it is, a rubbed on sketch LO:


And now I need your help! As you all know my skinny boy has a plaster that goes from one end of his arm to the other and it adds about a third again to his body weight - it's big lol. BUT the top of it is digging into his ribs and we can't come up with a suitable solution. We're not allowed to attach anything to the cast and short of strapping foam squares to his chest we're at a loss. He spends a lot of time with a cushion tucked under it (as the in the pic below) but that isn't going to cut it when he starts school tomorrow - I fear carrying a cushion around is tantamount to social suicide!

So, can you help? I'm looking for an innovative solution and any suggestions are welcome. I'd love to send you a RAK (maybe some dust-free rubons) to say thanks if you can help us out, my sanity is at stake :)

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for all your comments - you make me smile!
