A challenge for the Newbies and Software challenged
No one can teach imagination you either have it or you don't, but we can help you to get the most from your cutting software.
If you want to learn programs like PSP etc there are hundreds of free tutorials on the web.
What I am proposing is a Monthly Challenge for people who want to learn the various cutting software packages. At the moment these are RM, DM, Inkscape and Design Studio. I have recruited some ladies who are going to write the tutorials and this is how it will work.
A "Newbie Monthly Challenge" with tutorials.
Anyone accepting the challenge can if they wish upload a template, a picture, a screen shot or any combination of these options to the template forum, please include NMC in the subject heading.
No one is going to criticise this is a learning thing, not a competition. If you have any problems with the tutorials post a cry for help in the Challenge thread. If you have a disaster that looks really funny, let us see it, we won't want the template, but would love to see that things do go wrong. I'll post my next one
If there is a technique you want to learn and we don't already have a tutorial for it please PM me and I can set it up as a future challenge.
The first challenge will be May 1st

This is a great idea Lucille. I am always trying to emphasize that all contributions are valid from the very very simple to the outrageously complicated. And the prize is the pride of achievement and the gain in confidence from taking up a challenge.
There's nothing wrong with teenagers that reasoning with them won't aggravate!

That sounds like a good way to get me to stop looking at my Robo and thinking I'll play with it later.

Taking deep breath and gearing myself up for 1st May. Thanks for taking the time for helping us help ourselves get more out of Robo. Also smiling that disaster results are shareable... certainly reinforces how friendly and supportive this forum is.

Slave to Robbie Robo!
This sounds like a great fun thing to try, I am definitely up for it. At the minute I feel like I am climbing Everest with all the new things to learn about my new other half - well I spend more time with Robbie than I do with my DH at the minute! I am more than prepared to have a go, its the best way to learn things, and if we all make mistakes then us newbies won't feel so bad will we?

Nutter Extraordinaire!!
Lucille, this sounds great! I still haven't sold my Robo, so guess I really ought to learn how to use it properly.

Happy Scrapper
I hope our newbies join in the challenge as you all have so much to gain, the pleasure you feel when you finally "get it" is wonderful. I also get a lot of pleasure seeing someone make progress after being given a helping hand from our more experienced members. As Ruth has already said the contributions of the more simple templates are as useful as the really complicated. We all have our own style and mine is definitely simple.

What a great idea, thank you, certainly worth a try. Could you try and remember that some of us (me for one) don't understand most of the jargon!! sounds double dutch!!! sorry xx Jan

I have had my CR since Sept but haven't done as much as I would like with it. However I do use it lots for printing greetings and verses as I love the Bickley Script font and with different coloured pens I like the look it gives my cards. I will try to get to grips with the Newbie challenge in May but there might be more "how it shouldn't look" than anything else. Many thanks to all those who put templates on the form - they are brilliant and very helpful so hopefully one day I hope I might get one done. Thanks again to all those of you who help us get to grips with CR
