My ScanNcut

Since owning my first ScanNcut several years ago I have kept a notebook with information in it about my machine. I recently considered expanding the information I kept and this notebook is specifically for that purpose.

You may not choose to use all the pages and you may want several copies of some pages. Each page is independent and you can print and use those pages you find most useful.

Sections include:

• My machine details 
• My tools 
• My machine settings 
• My machine care 
• My favourite tips 
• My Canvas Workspace 
• My files My projects 
• My favourite websites 
• My favourite fonts 
• My favourite suppliers 
• My notes 

This is designed to record all things you need to know or remember about your ScanNcut. It is a personal record of those things that you want to know and keep.

Available as a PDF download here for $3.00 AUD. It will be sent after payment. If you have any questions please contact me.
