I was recently stamping with black StazOn and of course stained my acrylic bloc quite a bit. However, I resisted to buy a special StazOn cleaner 'cause I cleaned my stamps almost immediately with a baby tissue and they were perfectly clean. If I didn't clean the bloc , it would stain, though. So today I tried my nail polish remover to clean the acrylic bloc. Guess what... it is crystal clear in a few seconds! So the lesson I learnt today is that I should try and find a solution to the scrapbooking issues instead of just buying stuff from the store, no matter how tempting it is! The scrapbooking market nowadays offers so many gadget, tools, embelishments and so on which are in fact not necessary - you can in most cases do without them. and doesn't it take away a pleasure from scrapbooking when you use the ready made stickers or use composters instead of making those things on your own? For me it does !That's why I'm trying to make better choices when in a scrapbook store - buy what you cannot do without (paper, paints) or what you can use multiple times (stamps and inks). After all, scrapbooking is a huge business for some people, and I just want to enjoy my hobby without over consumption..
