Who scraps with a tablet???

Oh boy...you are in for a treat! I have 3 of them b/c I can't scrap without them now, I love them so much. I have the bamboo and intuos and keep one at our trailer and 2 at home for pc and laptop. I buy the cheapest ones and they seem to last me at least a few yrs so well worth the money.

 

When I first saw the subject line I thought it was about scrapping on like an iPad. LOL I know it's possible, that some even use their phones, but I've never wanted to try. I like a BIG screen.

As for the kind of tablet you meant, I never have. However, I use the Apple "Magic Trackpad" instead of a mouse, which has some things in common. And it's awesome.

 

I have one, used it, didn't really like it!
It mocks me

 

a kiss for Bart.

I use a Wacom and it is great... started using it more when suffering with a pinched nerve and found using the mouse caused too much pain in my right arm. I use it all the time with scrapping now.

 

I had one a few years ago, and I just never could get the hang of it.

 

kiss!

 

From the post title I thought you meant iPad. That's what I scrap on, I use only apps.

 

I kissed the frog!

 

@KatrinaHunt13 you've inspired me!! I got one a few years ago - always intended to learn it and just never have. I'll give it a go this week! I think Just Jaimee has a class at Scrapaneers for tablet use? I may have to go check that out as well

 

I found the best way to get used to the feel of the pen and tablet was to play games on the computer like solitaire etc.

 

That is pure brilliance.

 

Oooohhh...I've had a Wacom tablet for a few years...I think it's been out of the box, maybe, twice...maybe it's time to dust it off again!!

 

I have a wacom, only used it a few times...I didn't like it...

 

I have two but rarely use them. Everyone in awhile I take it out but I end up putting it away. I think the trick is to customize it to your likings/needs. Maybe I will pull mine out and have another go too ...

@michelepixels funny, i have the magic track pad as my backup - for when my magic mouse dies and i need to recharge it. i cringe and cry when i have to use the track pad. i don't know why but it feels all wrong and wonky to me. i am so much faster with my mouse.

 

kiss!

Thanks @jenn mccabe

Part of it is probably just that we are most comfortable with what we are used to. And there are a couple of default settings for the track pad that I adjust to my liking. The main one is that I don't have to push down to make a full click on the track pad. Just a light finger tap (or double tap for double clicking) will do. As for scrolling, it's so incredibly easy to just swipe up or down! I much prefer moving my hand on a stationary pad over gripping a mouse.
