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??
