Helpful Hint From Jenny B!


Wow!  I’ve been really bad about blogging my creations!  I guess it’s because I limited myself to scrapbooking and crafts.  Truth be told, I’ve been planning a garden for months and started seeds a few weeks back…

Today I’m going to let you in on a secret – well, it was a secret to me, it may not be to you.   A while back I was using my Cricut and I used some paper on it that must have been extra fuzzy or something because it left an awful mess on the cutting pad when I pulled it off.  It was a brand new cutting pad!  I was so angry because it was darn near impossible to put anything else on it for fear of getting the remnants on new cuttings.

After cursing myself out – You should have known better!  Why did you do that?  Where is your brain???   And realizing I would never even think to say these things to a fellow crafter, I decided to try and fix the problem.  How could it hurt?

I thought and thought and then I grabbed cotton balls and rubbing alcohol, and started rubbing.  To my surprise, the paper came off and the sticky-ness stayed!  Not as strong as it was before, but I definitely could use it after the cleaning!  So if you get some paper fuzz on your cutting mat, and you decide you can’t use it anymore, try this out – it’s worth it and cheaper than running to the store for more mats.

Happy scrapping!
