Confession...I'm REALLY behind on my Project Life scrapbook so I've started a new strategy to just jump into the current weeks and catch up on the past stuff when I can. I'm really hoping that will help. Here's my newest page...made using the NEW Scan N Cut™ machine by Brother. The Scan N Cut is the first home and hobby cutting machine with a built in scanner!  Cool, eh?!

I'm really thankful I've gotten the chance to use this handy machine because I learn new things about it every time I use it.  Like on this layout I used it to write the word "hello" on that first card with the Scan N Cut pens.  I also used it to cut out the word "life", to "fussy cut" out the arrows I stamped onto white paper using the "direct cut" feature of the machine.  I also learned to cut out some basic die-cut shapes, and also to scan some scrapbook paper and fussy cut out a design element using the "direct cut" feature.  It's so cool!

Check out the video I made on how I created this layout using the machine:

Here's some close ups of the elements I made...I added some arrows to some of the photos to help direct you to seeing what I'm talking about.

These first pics show how I used the Scan N Cut to create the card. Watch the video for more details on how I did it.

I can never resist hearts and I like that I can shape them to be the way I want them to look before cutting them out...

Here's one of those tiny arrows I stamped, scanned, and cut out using the "direct cut" feature on the Scan N Cut.  I stapled it to a circle I cut out too.

Another tiny arrow...

I also used the Scan N Cut to cut out some words...

Here's that ticket I had the Scan N Cut fussy cut out of a piece of scrapbook paper...to do that I just scanned in my patterned paper, selected the ticket, and then had it cut it out. Easy peasy.

And here it is on the layout...

And here's the journaling card in case you're curious what I wrote...
