For some of us that have the Mac Eco System, it has become a bit of a hassle with the web version of the Design Space.  Every so often I have to load up the Adobe Flash extension or refresh my screen until it loads.

It is an issue with Safari.  There is a reason behind it too.  Flash has become a hackers access into people's computers.  For many that is a problem because they can use your web cam to spy, steal data and finances.  While Chrome has this feature as a part of the browser Safari did not want to support it due to security.  If you have a firewall set up, then you don't have much to fear.  It takes time for Safari to load Flash which is why you get that error and have to refresh.  It will eventually load.  

Also available for iOS is the DS App.  The app has the full functionality of the web version and can be used on your iPhone or iPad.  This is great if you also have a wireless printer.  There are multiple functions on the app that I have explored myself and have used to create so many projects myself.  Below you will find an instructional video if you are new to Cricut and would like to get more information on the application.

Recently I trolling around the web (Whistling), and I found a video that was specific to Cricut.  When I opened it I was so happy I nearly peed my pants!  CRICUT PEN ADAPTORS!!!!!   I have been seeing people modifying pen holders by adding tape to their pens, or removing the pen holder and placing their writing tool with a pencil grip.  Not for me thank you, I paid tooooooo much for my machine.

I have this whole assortment of markers in the ultra fine point, fine point and recently some art markers from sharpie.  I wanted to use them in my machine but was saddened that I didn't want to ruin it and I couldn't use the pens.  When I saw this, I jumped onto Etsy and purchased my set, which came in on Saturday :D.  I got an opportunity to play around with them and fell in love.  Now i'm not limited to using just the Cricut brand!  Yay!  

If you want to get a set, watch the video below and click on the link below it.  Product by Little Paper Town.

*** Please note that my machine does not move as fast as it does in the video no matter how much i wish it did.***

​The question most asked across the internet by crafters is weather purchasing an electric die cutting machine is worth the investment.

Lets be honest, these things are not cheap.  They can range from $200 on upwards (mostly because of version and accessories).  Because of the high cost most people are hesitant to get one.
