Who knew?

by

I have a new tool in my scraproom. Jenner’s comment on my previous post made me think, “Yah! Why not?” I sprinted upstairs, grabbed the iron, bounded back down the stairs, set up a makeshift “ironing board” on my desk using a broken-down-ready-for-recycle cardboard box, removed the photos from the paper, laid the paper face down on the cardboard, set the iron on LOW, and just went for it. And guess what? It worked!

The wavy disformed paper pretty much went back to normal. Not perfect, but certainly good enough to lie flat on the page if I used enough adhesive.

So… word to the Mommas: your iron. It’s a handy scrapbooking tool. Who knew?

    Ummm … what’s an iron? Someone on SS said that it also works for smoothing out bend borders. Who knew?

    Yeah, so glad it helped! I use my iron more flattening ribbon (when it was wadded up in a bag before I organized it) that I actually do ironing real clothes!

    I haven’t used it yet, but I bought the Heidi Swapp little pink iron (duh, the color is PERFECT for my happy room!), and have some of Heidi’s rubons yet to be used also. I have a board for quilting that is a cutting mat on one side and an ironing pad on the other.

    So what else is an iron used for?

    Ah-hah! I knew the iron was good for something. Now to dust off the iron and put it to good use!

    They say you learn something new everyday … now the bigger question … do I own an iron? :)

    hmmm…I think I have one of those in my home somewhere! By the looks of my clothing you wouldn’t know it though! DH will probably be jealous if I start using it for scrapping and still refuse to iron a shirt.
