Shapes cut out using craftrobo Cards made using craftrobo	I am still learning about this machine but with a little bit of patience and a whole lot of practice, it does become easier! I am using Illustrator 10 and CS2 to trace images from dig-bats, clip art, scanned die cuts and photos to make my own templates to cut using the Craft Robo. You will find that there are a lot of yahoo groups where templates can be downloaded.

Here are links to some website's that provide everything you need to get started. You will find the forums provide information on software, advice and problem shooting to most crises! There are also many very clever people who have their own website where they have downloaded and shared templates that they have made.

Name of Website (click link to go there)	About the Website
Yahoo Group Wishblade	This is probably one of the first and largest groups - due to the size and amount of members that have joined the moderator runs a very tight ship, and there are some rules on what you can and cannot post, which can lead to people's posts being removed. That said there are at LOT of very clever people on this forum and some good tips and templates to down load.
Yahoo Group CR_wb	This is a group set up by a lady who has a wishblade and wanted to share the templates she has made - it’s not a group as such but it is worth a visit.
Wishblade Files By Diane Schlichting	This is a webpage owned by Diane which she has shared templates that she has made. It is a cool site to download from
www.paperthreads.com by Michelle Hessler	This is a indivdual owned and ran forum created by Michelle Hessler who runs the webpage http://www.paperthreads.com which has a really cool digital design scrap book (I mean how clever is that!) to share comments, tips, tutorials, and GSD files. The great thing about this is due to the way it has been designed there is a better structure and order to the posts people make and it should be easier to find things. There are separate sections for discussion on each software tracing tool
Wishblade Files By Judith Perry	This lady regularly downloads 50 plus templates at a time to her site and she is truly amazing! I seem to spend more time downloading things these days than I do actually making cards!
www.ukscrappers.co.uk	This is a helpful site to go to for tips and templates and is in good structural order (well I think so) It has it's own Craft Robo section which is for chat, tutorials and downloads for files.
