Craft Tech: Let's Talk Tech


I thought it would be fun to ask our readers about their favorite tech and how you use it for crafting. Did you know one of our new shows featuring the awesome Ana Cabrera will talk about how to incorporate technology into crafting? Seriously cool idea don't you think? Here she is on set....

Other then my Gypsy and Cricut I didn't think I used technology so much in crafting. However, with my some very cool apps on my iPad I have found I'm using technology more and more for a great reference tool. Let me tell you about this app that I found out about from Ana, it's called Evernote.  

Capture Anything. Save your ideas, things you like, things you hear, and things you see. All you have to do is download the Evernote tool to your computer and a button shows up on your browser bar (it's the elephant). 
So when I need a blog post to reference I simply click on my Evernote button and is uploads that post to Evernote and I can ACCESS it everywhere. Then I take my iPad with me where I need it and there is the blog post on my Evernote app to reference...and I don't have to be online to access it either.


I'm sure that it will make more sense when you download this app and give it a try. But I use it for almost all my crafty projects and recipes I want to make!! Thanks Ana for the tech tip!! 
Ana on the set of her show...love the flip flops & shades!!
We're curious....what is YOUR favorite "tech" things you use that help you when getting crafty??

  4. Wow, Lori and and Ana, I loved hearing about the Evernote tool. I wonder if it is compatible with the ipod touch? For now, I am loving my Cricut, cell phone, printer and Microsoft Picture Manager. Thanks so much for sharing!!

  6. Looking forward to this show. As a blogger my most important craft tech is my DSLR! And my laptop, I suppose. I use about a zillion programs when I post but I love free and easy Picasa for managing my photo flow and doing minor touchups like cropping and adjusting the contrast. It's super fast and simple.

  8. Blogs! Whenever my creativity is running low, I just do some surfing and, in no time at all, I've got lots of ideas.

  10. I love using my Gypsy and my 3 Cricut machines to help create my ideas. I also like to use the computer to surf for motivation. When I use my camera, I imagine how that shot of relatives, friends, objects, and/or scenery/landscrap would look on a scrapbook layout.

  11. I use pictures from Google so my drawings are as realistic as possible, and my digital camera, of course, for my blog posts. And I haunt the blogs when my never ending list gets low. My own ideas keep me busy enough. Good old brain power and a pair of scissors is about as techy as I get!
