Silhouette Mat Cleaning Tutorial

HI there!

I thought that I would share another tip for cleaning a really dirty silhouette Mat, with you all.

 It may be a little hard to tell from this photo but this Silhouette mat has lost all its stickiness, I am trying to get it to stick to my hand with no luck.

So grab some rubbing alcohol, a few baby wipes and a heat gun or blow dryer.

Apply a liberal amount of rubbing alcohol to a baby wipes and begin scrubbing your mat in a circular motion.

 You can see how much gunk I was able to take off the mat.

And look how clean it is!  The next step I didn't photograph but you will want to rinse it with some warm water.

Now go ahead and dry it with your heat gun, make sure you do not burn or melt the mat.  Keep moving the heat tool around.

Look how sticky my mat is again.  I was able to use it a few more times, so this is fantastic when you run out of mats and are in a pinch.

Thanks for joining us today!

Baker's Twine Storage Tip

Hi there!

I thought I would share a little tip for storing baker's twine.  So many people are using really cute jars  for their twine, but they can be pricey. And when you want one for each colour, it adds up fast.

However, this tangled mess was making me crazy!

So I scoured my local dollar store, and found these cheap sugar jars.

The flap over the hole was a bit of a problem for me, but luckily it just pulled right off.

And my twine looks so pretty in them!

I picked up 6, one for each colour of the rainbow plus black and brown!

Inspiration on Thursday

Hi friends! 

It's Thursday and that means we have a little inspiration to share with you, are you ready for some eye candy?

Eileen and Elaine recently became aunts, and helped host a shower for their sister to celebrate.  Of course these crafty gals, created a few special items for the shower.

Aren't these cupcake picks darling?

And what about this unique and sweet "guest book"?

Which was inspired by this piece of art found on Pinterest.

What a fabulous keepsake for a birth or wedding!  Are you inspired?  I sure am!


Also, don't forget that we regularly add new posts to our store,  you can check them out here on the blog, too!

Altered Candle Jars Tutorial

Hi friends!

With Christmas less than two months away (gasp I know!), I thought I would start sharing some gift type tutorials.

You know us scrappers like to embellish everything!  I picked up some great candle jars with some great scents at a local business and decided to have a little fun with them.

I started by choosing some pretty buttons and cutting some little leaves, to make some button flowers.

I added them to some great little wooden banner shaped tags.

Then I added some sticker "4's" and some rub-on "you's" to finish off my  tags.

Here is a look at the finished product.  I love how we can take something great and make it crafty!
