Project #20 - Cricut Imagine Mat - How To Restore The Stickiness

Hello Crafters. I just wanted to post this tip about the Cricut Imagine Mat. I was told by ProvoCraft that maybe the reason the mats have lost their stickiness was because they were sitting in a shipyard for a couple of months and the heat and cold may have something to do with it. If you are having trouble with your mats, try this method out.  I hope this helps. Bug Hugs!

Just had to share this with all of you Crafters.  Spread the news....Linda, over at http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com  found the best search site for us Cricut users!!  Say you are looking for a picture of an "APPLE" and you just don't know which one of your cartridges have an "APPLE" in it.  Just visit cricutsearch.com and type "APPLE" in the search box.  It will show you every cartridge with apples in them, the pictures, and the page where you can find it.  Isn't that just sooooo helpful???  I am loving it.  Happy searching girls!!  Thanks Linda!
