Time thieves are the worst!

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. Originally I was using a Christmas tree but it wasn’t cute.

I have the lights taped around the picture. The picture is inside the frame and behind the shaker. I have to create a hiding place for the switch.

Francės Long I do cut and score myself when I make a book for the first time. If I want to make it again I just open up my project in Design Space and use my Cricut to cut everything. And then all I have to do is tape and/or glue everything together. Design Space is a program or application that you use with the Cricut. It has a lot of cool features that allows you be as creative as you want to be. I used it to make my roof made of bats by using the welding feature. It’s a simple program and has a small learning curve. Once you become familiar with it, though, you realize there are a million different things you can do. I love it when I have time for it. It’s quicker to make a scrapbook without it, but it’s great when you want to make multiple books.

Shayne This is your fault.

No, but sometimes, as I follow your tutorial, I like to create all the parts in Design Space, and I label every part just as you do, and group them in pages. So every layer is a page and within each layer are the parts to the page. I also create the scoring and matting so the next time I make a book, I use my Cricut. I print one layer at a time to keep it in order. It sounds hideous…and it is.

Shayne you say encourager, I say enabler😂

And then you just throw in my face like that? Ok.

I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Family first. Wishing you all strength and a quick recovery.
