My Scrapbook Simple SVGs

Simple SVG for easy scrapbook layouts

Simple SVGs are designed to cut with your Cricut (so no fussy cutting) and are a combination of photo mats and a layout photo placement guide!

I generally use White Cardstock and yes yes I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator because I love a discount and my Cricut loves to cut Stampin' Up! paper. Use your stash for background paper and embellishments.

This Simple will hold 4 4x4 photos and still leave lots of room for titles, journaling and embellishments. The Simple takes care of the hard part "where to put my photos"

Inspire for Cricut Papercrafters is Back

I was planning to share this in a video

... but I get so emotional, I decided to write it first. Last year was really hard and I clearly needed time to heal. I did step back from everything. As I begin to feel better I realized that my classroom and students were such an important part of my life and a blessing, and I have been missing that. I thought maybe knitting would help. Knitting is a calming new habit but not something I want to teach. Big decisions here.

Inspire, my monthly membership for Cricut papercrafters is back!

My classes will be all about Design Space only ... no more Stampin' Up! classes (yes I like Stampin' Up paper but I don't want to promote any particular brand) I am going back to my roots where the classes and svgs are my product, not another company.

A stumble or two along the way but here we are! CLICK HERE for more information and to sign up!

A new Design Space for 2025 and a Card a Day Class and Stickers for Cards Class featuring Print then Cut techniques are just a few of the classes that will be shared with members in the new few weeks. Scrapbook Simple SVGs and card making svgs are included each month along with mini tutorials too.

Thank you for your support over the years and I hope you will enjoy this return to focusing on Cricut, where it all began.

My paper to yarn journey

I am a long time paper crafter and even enjoyed a career as an instructor and author in the paper crafting world. I never thought I would find something I loved more than playing with paper, stamps and ink.... BUT I DID!

I am blessed to be able to have a choice in how I spend my days and yarn has won over my heart and my time.

I have found that I just don't enjoy my paper crafting as much as I did. I thought I would be a paper crafter forever. These days, I am excited to say I am a knitter and I love collecting yarn too.

There is always a small project ready next to my comfy chair.

But some things have not changed. I am still a teacher at my core. Teaching myself to knit has been a journey. As I continue to learn, I am preparing to share with all of you. Knitting does not have to be so complicated or overwhelming.

Many of the ideas that I built my Cricut classes on are the same for learning to knit.

1.) Start with the right materials.

2.) Find someone that thinks like you do and speaks in language you can understand.

3.) Pick projects that you love.

4.) Take your time, don't get frustrated.

5.) Practice makes perfect!
