Is there an app. for scrap?

[jacksmomma]

A little birdie told me that my DH is getting me an I-phone for my birthday. Is there any apps. for scrapping? What are your favorites?

I've look for some but so far haven't found much. I did find a podcast that isn't to bad. It is called Layout A Day. Goes with a blog too.

Michael's craft store -- you get coupons on your phone and they just scan the coupon barcode on your phone. Love it because I'm always forgetting the coupons at home.


There is a Cricut Cutting Guide from Above Rubie's Studio. Tells you what settings to put your Cricut machine on for cutting like every imaginable manufacturer's line of paper. Super helpful. And she does update it with new paper line.

This cutting guide also comes as a PDF you can download to your computer if you prefer that method or if you don't have an iPhone.

I have the cut guide too, love it!! And I have the Bazzill app to match colors.

I saw that last night. I was wondering how accurate the screen color is to the paper color though? I know stuff like that varies on computer monitors but no idea on an iPhone.


And this DIS seriously needs a "like" button like Facebook.

It's fairly accurate. But it also gives you the close ups of the texture and a search function for names. It also helps match colors for monochromatic, triadic, etc.

Thought of another. Its not a scrapping app, but I will tell you some ways I use it for keeping track of supplies. Super helpful when out at the store.

It's called Evernote. It has an iPhone app (along with all other smartphones), web page version and desktop version. They all sync together perfectly. I like desktop version & iphone version. LOVE IT!!!

One way I use for crafts is this. You make notebooks with notes in the app. My Notebook is called Craft Supplies. I have a page for Cricut cartridges. A page for stamps. A page for ink pads. A page for Stickles. Etc.

One a page (or a note) you can enter text, audio, pictures, clip stuff from internet, URLs, PDF's and like any other type of file.

Using my iphone, I took photos of my stamps in groups. You can do this in the Evernote app or via normal iphone camera & add them to Evernote. So I have a page of all my stamps along with some text added. While in the store, I can quickly see if I already own something similar to what I'm thinking of buying.

Listed all my Stickles colors & took a photo.

Listed my Cricut Cartridges. And while I haven't done it yet, you could add a photo of the back of the box, or grab such a preview photo from online & just drag it into your note.

Take a picture of your ribbon collection.

You get the idea.

Another cool feature is it is location based. So say there is a store you heard about & want to remember its location so you can visit next time in that part of the state. I made a notebook of places I wanted to visit & a note for each place, placing its address into the location field & they show up on a map. You can add a location if you take a photo & want to remember where you took it. Say you saw something in a store you liked. Take a picture & it will also remember its location. Add it to a list of "things I want to buy".

There are tags for sorting. A wonderful search feature. AND if you take a photo of something containing text, it will also search that text. So I take pictures of business cards. If I search for seamstress, it finds her business card because I can never remember her name.

You can store EVERYTHING in EVERNOTE!!!!! Its really AMAZING!!! Their blog & Facebook page routinely give great ideas on more ways people use it.

Did I tell you its free?
