My Favorite Tools - My Scan and Cut.

I have had my Scan and Cut for about 3 years. It spent most of the first year in its box because I didnt have a proper craft room. Because I couldn't leave it out for long it didn't really get used properly. I'm pleased to say I now have a craftroom of my own now and use it much more. I still don't think it gets used to its full potential but it is used more than it used to be.

I must admit it was a bit intimidating at first. I had for many years had a little cricut machine and I got along quite nicely with it, but its now old, and if it breaks down its obsolete. I did think about getting a Cricut Maker, but watching Create and Craft it seemed the Scan and Cut could do much more. The decision was made when the CM900 Scan and Cut was on offer, and so it found its way into my basket.

The instructions were really quite simple and straightforward. However there is so much more it can do than are in the instructions.

I staryed out cutting card blanks as at the time I was predominantly making cards.

I dont think I will ever have to buy a card blank again.

With the help of a Tattered Lace usb I started on boxes. This was really easy and all of the mats were cut on the Scan and Cut as well. Of course all of the things I made could be resized on the machine so you have everything in any size you could ever want.

I have recently ventured into Mixed Media, and it even comes in usefull with this. Everything on this picture was cut on my Scan and cut.

The Scan and Cut is now a peace of equipment I would not be without. I'm still learning the things it can do. I've even managed to create some files of my own. With that I am off to play. See you soon😀

Two Red Robins Magazine - Issue 3

While I was away in Italy issue 2 of the Two Red Robins Magazine was released on Create and Craft. I have no idea how much it cost on Create and Craft, but it was on the Highlight Crafts website for £14.99. Because I am a member of the Highlight Craft Club I got it gor £12.99 with free postage. The free cover die this month is a hydrangea and it comes with two sheets of charisma, backing papers and scene sheets. You can download further copies from the Highlight website. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers, I have two huge ones in my garden, so this die is going to be very useful to me. The magazine has some projects using the cover die. Great for anyone looking for inspiration, but especially usefull for somebody just starting on a crafty journey There are also some projects using other Two Red Robin Die Sets. There are also projects using a mixture of dies from different collections. I like to see projects like this, they are a great source of inspiration, but im sure you can

My Weight Loss Journey

I have quite bad arthritis in both of my knees. The extra weight I am carrying about is not helping them at all. Its time I took action and got rid of the extra pounds. I am going to do this by simple calorie counting. At present I cant afford a Slimming group, but I know if I am in the right place mentally I can do this, I have done it before. We get a Wonky vegetable box delivered every week so I am going to be cooking healthy low calorie food using the items in the box. I have all of the Pinch of Nom, Slimming Eats, Slimming Foodie, and Sugar Pink Foods cookbooks so I will have plenty of choice. My food is planned out for the next week, and I will be recording everything on my Samsung Health App. It always helps me to record everything. I got of to a good start as I have lost 2lbs this week. Fingers crossed I can keep it up.
