Important news!

Well, I've got some good news for some of you...We are branching out to the SVG file formats at Paperthreads! As a design team, we want to offer our files in a consistent way, and so would appreciate any and all comments and input on this...please take the time to complete the poll and add any comment or discussion, and please send any other Cricut users this way, to help us make sure we provide the most useful format for all users! You can get to the poll HERE! You will have to have a userid and be logged into the Paperthreads forum in order to see the poll or vote, but membership is FREE! And that way, you'll be among the first to know when we start offering SVGs (and in the meantime you can take a look at some of the great inkscape tutorials!)

Tip...if you've never been on Paperthreads, open the forum link in a new window, create a userid and password, then check your email for the activating link. Once you're an active member come back to this blog post and follow the link to the poll.

Now, just in case you didn't know it...we've got over 3,000 files for sale in the store! I only have a measly 170 of those files, but converting them is still going to be a chore. So, I need your help! Stop by my section of the store, browse through the files, and leave me a comment with which files you'd be most interested in purchasing in SVG for use with your SCAL program/Cricut.


I'll start working through the files based on requests! So, let me hear from you! Do you have a file request or an idea for a file that you don't see? Well, leave me a comment or send me an email and we'll see what I can come up with!

And so our hero is on his way, but what awaits him???

When last we saw our hero he was biking on his way to the great National Scrapbooking Day sale at Jen Adkins Designs at Paperthreads. The question is, what will he find when he arrives...

dum, dum, dum (insert great dramatic music here!)

What's this I see? A new file? Packed full of classic comic book memorabilia?! Speech balloons, expressions, sound effects, and more?



Holy Toledo, Batman! We hope both our hero and the file make it to the store on time!

And that's not the end of our story, tune in tomorrow for the continuing adventures of (I don't know, I can't come up with a name for our hero...leave me a comment and make a suggestion...you might be featured in the next edition!)
