I forgot to give her the brayer I told her about. I feel like I was making out so I added a bunch of paper, tools, a paper trimmer. I gave her my older Cricut machine and she gave me her i-Pad. She had an old ipad she was going to recycle and I had my older Cricut machine the Explore Air. To top the day off, we even made a trade. And I know die cutting machines so together we figured a lot of things out. She knows computers way better than I do. It turned out to be a perfect combination. I was still learning the system myself but we had a little play date and made a few things.
Why does it seem so difficult to add my own images?Īt about this same time a good friend asked me if I would teach her how to use Cricut. The machine was easy to use, since i was already familiar with die cutting machines. I did start using it with the office computer. And it looked like I was back to returning the machine or buying a new computer. I starting looking up Facebook groups, You Tube videos, any posts I could find for a work-around. My excitement was diminishing very quickly. Or constantly be going up and down the stairs for supplies. So I would have to move supplies up to my office. Plus, if you have read any of my past posts, you know I have a whole room dedicated to my crafts and is loaded to the max with supplies. Which is another reason I was excited about getting a Cricut Maker. But it is for work and it's not set up for Bluetooth. The computer is top of the line with tons of memory and bells and whistles. Move my machine to my office and use the business computer. Return the machine and go back to using my Silhouette, which is another awesome die cutting machine (without the extras of thicker material and fabric).īuy a new computer, which was not in my budget. How can this machine, that can do so much, not be up to par with the newest technology? I was totally baffled. I spent hours the first night with my new machine in total disbelief.
