Tuesday Night Tip...

I'm a huge fan of the Cricut. So much so, that when the Expression came out, I didn't have to think twice about purchasing one. I can't tell you how much I use it--and we regularly joke that it has a permanent perch on my kitchen island. I have been using it a ton lately for an upcoming class, and I wanted to share this tip...I've been using this thing for months now, and it really does work! My friend Jen told me about it and I swear by it. When your Cricut mat starts to get less sticky and is covered in paper lint, swipe a disposable lint roller over it.
When you're finished, it will look something like the above picture. Simply tear off the paper and re-use the lint roller the next time it is needed. And the mat? I've been using the same one for 3 months now. See the cut marks on that baby? I use the repositional herma dots on the mat to hold the paper on because the tackiness is long gone. I also hear that painters tape along the edges of the cardstock also works.

Off to cut a little more before the night is over...
