You all know my favorite is the Craft Robo but, most of my scrapbooking friends have the Cricut. And now they all have the Sure Cuts a Lot software, better known as SCAL, which works with the Cricut.

Haven’t heard about SCAL, click here to learn more!

SCAL reads SVG files. For those familiar with PhotoShop and Illustrator it is very easy to save a file in SVG format. For those who don’t have access to these programs I’d like to offer my services!

First I’d like for you to know that all my paper piecing patterns are available in various formats including SVG. You can find patterns at The Shop.

Second, if you have patterns you’d like to use with your Cricut and don’t know how or don’t have time to make them into SVG files you can send them to me via email and I’ll convert them for you. Go to The Shop or click here on SVG FILE CONVERSION and check out the options available.

Please email me BEFORE choosing an option and include your patterns so I can better tell you what can be done.

Send your files to: orders@cocscrapbooking.com or cristy@cocscrapbooking.com

Have your heard of the Bind-It-All from Zutter? It’s awesome!

What is it?

It’s a binding machine. But not just an ordinary binding machine, this one will punch and bind allowing you to create your own books, journals, calendars, craft projects and most importantly scrapbooks of any size!

Mini-Album Idea from Zutter.

Don’t let it’s compact size fool you. It can punch through regular paper, cardstock, chipboard, corkboard, acetate, acrylic, fabric, and incredibly through CDs!!!!

The possiblities are endless!!! I don’t think I’ll be buying any more mini-albums, I’ll make them myself!! This is soooooo exciting!!! I’m a gadget girl, but, my gadgets have to save me money either immediately or in the long run and this is one cool, money saving gadget!

Know what else is wonderful about the Bind-It-All? There are no replacement blades to buy!!!! The blades are self-sharpening!!! Woohoo!!! About all you’d need to purchase as an “extra” are the spiral wires for binding, but, you don’t even need to purchase those unless you want to. Instead you can use ribbon, yarn, shoe strings, leather, paper clips, etc. to bind your albums or craft projects!!!! That deserves another WOOHOO!!!

I highly recommend the Bind-It-All. Think of the possibilities.

Bind-It-All

Happy Scrapping!
