A Drawing Becomes a Notebook & an Apron

One of my favorite features of the ScanNCut is how easy it is to scan in an image and cut it out.  And once you've digitized the design you can cut it out of multiple materials.  I recently made a notebook and an apron from a simple sheet of doodles.

Later, I took it a step further by adding another doodle drawing to the lower half of the apron.

And I used the new doodle to decorate the cover of a notebook I had previously painted.

How fun is that?

To learn more about scanning, you can watch this video:

I hope you feel inspired to scan a drawing into your ScanNCut and create something (or many somethings) with that design!  If you'd rather work with my designs, you can find my original doodle drawing for sale as an SVG in my shop.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I am a paid spokesperson for the Brother ScanNCut.  It is a machine that I love and use.  All projects and opinions are my own.
