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😀

Take Notice of Your Surroundings

 We tend to live in a bubble, only seeing what’s right in front of us, or focusing on things that relate to our interests. It’s easy to be unaware of your surroundings, but you might find some new friends if you just take notice of people around you. Your social circle is expanding as we speak, and it can be difficult to stay connected with everyone; however, all it takes is one person with whom you share something in common. After talking with them for a few minutes, they could lead you toward someone else who shares an interest of yours. Before long, your social circle will expand exponentially. Take notice: it’s important! You never know who you could meet. You never know where life might take you. And you never know how many new friendships might come out of seemingly random encounters. Expand your horizons and make more connections by taking more notice today. Who knows where it could lead? Who knows who you’ll meet? And most importantly, who knows how many amazing things will hap...

A Day in The Life of a Crafter

I have always had an interest in crafts and handmade items of all kinds, but I never considered myself to be very good. I set up an Instagram account first and I got some very nice comments about the things I had made. I thought it might be a good idea to share with you my typical crafty day. As you know I am at present a nurse, although I don't know how much longer I will be working. I'm hoping I can retire in the next couple of years. Anyway this is my crafty day when I am not at work. I wake up  roll out of bed and head downstairs for breakfast. I'm not a fan of huge breakfasts but I have to have something. After breakfast it's time to take Star out gonna walk. She loves her walk. After that it's back home and into The Craftroom. I spend some time finishing of a project  orcstarting a new one. I always seem to have more than one project on the go at once. At the minute I am working on some new items for a nature themed fair I am taking part in in April. I usually...
