    I had to mention this because I completely forgot. With iPad you can mirror your screen to your TV so I was playing around with it just now and my mind is blown. We just bought a 4K TV for our new family room addition that was completed in March so now I can scrap with my iPad on a 70" screen. I think I will never go back to my computer again now, especially after figuring out all the shadow tricks I was trying to do in Affinity photo app after a week of searching and reading tutorial after tutorial. I think I may be the happiest girl in Digi land right now LOL. Anyway, just wanted to share for those maybe wanting to try scrapping with iPad but not wanting smaller screen.

    I have an iPad Pro w/ Apple Pencil. I bought them with the intent to scrap on my iPad BUT I've not spent nearly the time I need to learning and practicing. It's easier to default to what I know (PSCC) when I have limited scrap time. I purchased an Affinity class from Udemy and I hope to get back to it all soon!! I LOVE the potential for mirroring the iPad to a TV and may have to figure that out asap - like tomorrow!! ;)

    Yes! The only problem becomes convincing my kids that watching mommy scrap on the tv is waaayyyy more fun than watching smurfs reruns:funfun:hummm

    I totally understand. I was on the fence myself just a few days ago because I still found some things limiting in Affinity Photo but I have been researching every free minute that I have and figured out some work arounds and I think I can finally say goodbye for good to photoshop. I only use PScc for my scrapbooking so I was not even tapping into half the power of the program and I honestly don't need the full power of the program anyway.
    As to the mirroring. I have highlighted where you can find this on the iPad. You have to have Apple TV but it's super easy. Hope that helps.
