When will I learn to put the Stickles on LAST! Like right before I'm done for the day so I can't smear it or set something down on it! Yup, you guessed it, another card I was really happy with now has smeared Stickles!:eek: Am I the only one who still does stuff like this?!

UM...I wish I could say yes, but alas, I too have done that! Now to salvage it. Make inchies!

LOL! Stickles happen! I try to be very aware to not touch them but somehow, some way, I find a way to smear them! LOL! The inchie thing has me very curious. I've never tried it but will remedy that soon!

I usually wait until last for Stickles. Then I place the item (or all the items for ATCs) on my score-pal. That way I can move them & other than the cat, notthing should get to them. I can move them all away from my work area easily.

That's a good idea to just put them on the score-pal and then out of sight so I won't be tempted to somehow wreck them!

I try to resist but I really like them. I just don't like how long it takes to dry!

Don't you also wish they would put them in a different container, so you could get all of it out? - Penelope

Yes! Especially when I'm using distress stickles!

I am just as guilty! Whenever I have anything that needs to dry, I put in on a old cookie sheet and set it aside. Even if it means to take it out the room so it can dry properly and I won't be tempted to see if it's dry and then it gets smudged.

LOL Shelly! That's the secret! I need to put it on something and then hide it from myself!

I've also used an old cutting board too. Now if you hide it from yourself, you need to remember where you put it! I'm guilty of that too, but that is more with the supplies!

I LOVE the scorepal idea...I usually set them somewhere to dry, but never thought of the scorepal idea...I love it!!! Now I can use my scorepal more often!!!! I was only using it to make envelopes..which is very seldom...now I can use it more often....:wacko: how's that for multi-purposing??? I'm definitely doing that!!!

Thats kinda the reason I did it. It was KILLING me that I spent that much money on an item that only does ONE THING!!!!! I had to find ANY other use for it to save my sanity. LOL
