When I use the cricut, I tend to cut for an hour or so for multiple projects. Later, I end up spending way too much time trying to figure out which way the pieces go. Eureka!! It finally occured to me. When I take the pieces off the mat, I put a pencil mark on the back. No more turning the pieces over and over trying to figure out which is the front. I can't believe it took me almost a year to figure this out!

:rotfl2: I still haven't figured that out. If my paper wasn't textured or patterned on one side, it took me forever to figure out sometimes.

Thanks for the tip!

Good tip... I'm so bad.. I have to piece them together as I go.. my kids think my scrap area is their domain.. I don't know how many pieces I have lost due to the kiddos taking over my turf!!!

Yep, I have "xyroned" many a wrong side. It's nice when someone thinks for us ;)
Great tip! I will add, on fonts in particular to also jot the "size" you cut in.
I've had times thanks to kiddos where I lose a letter. And can't remember if it was a 3" or 3 1/4 ".
