A First Time Project



 As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are talking about numbers this year! Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are inspired by the number 1 or first and making a project for the first time!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this!  

I was inspired to make a shaped notebook!  So, I designed this in Cricut Design Space using only shapes and then figuring out all the rest on the fly!  

  Check out the video below for more information and what I have changed for future makes of this project!  If I set it all up correctly, you will also have access to this pattern if you want to give it a try!  ; )

If you are interested in the pattern and it won't share in CDS, let me know and I'll find a way to get it to you!  (Designer paper NOT included.  Die cut only.)
