Yesterday we released a small update to the InVue software. The next time you open your InVue software the update will be automatically applied. While many of these changes were small cosmetic enhancements and bug fixes, there are a few changes you may notice. Here is a list of the changes for this update: Endpoints Show on Open Paths: An open path is a line that does not connect. Sometimes while designing you may create an open path and want those points to join to form a shape. In this case you would use the join two points tool. This change shows the endpoints on an open path while in the join/connect two points tool so you can easily find the open path and join it. Alignment Options for Page Horizontal/Vertical: You will now find options in the alignment drop down box for Page Horizontal and Page Vertical. This centers your object in the horizontal or vertical center of the page.
Today I’m sharing a super quick and easy project to help get you organized. Our family command centre is coming together and my magazine rack from IKEA has just been mounted to the wall for all our documents that used to get dumped on the kitchen bench. The 4 x 6 Thursday to Sunday frames file is so quick to cut out and using a patterned paper for the centre piece as well as adding some paper flowers give them a lift. I printed straight onto the card stock for each ‘label’ instead of cutting the text out, and inked all edges of my cardstock with Copic markers.
This is a cute project specifically created for dieting bakers. If that's you, you're welcome! Now you can "bake up a storm" and still stay on your diet. Make as many donut cards as you'd like and you won't gain a pound. After you've made a dozen different donuts, then tuck them into the donut box for safe keeping. As always, our Project Patterns make it easy to create projects in multiples with just a few clicks when opened in the InVue software. If you need a refresher on how to use these Project Patterns you can find more information here.
The Baseball Team Party Cutting Collection makes it easy to throw a fabulous baseball themed party for any fan, big or small. This fun collection is perfect for an actual end of year team party, or use it for a birthday or Father's Day party.
We've spent the week talking about favorite things. Now it's your turn to make something pretty centered around your favorite things. This antique lock mini album can hold all of your favorite memories and will be a treasured keepsake. I love all things vintage and I tried to incorporate that look into this project. I used several layers of ink on my album cover to make the paper look antiqued. The Pazzles Pen Tool and the metallic papers I used also added a few extra details that make this album one of a kind. I'd love to fill this album with happy childhood memories and give it to my mom for her birthday. I can cut as many additional pages as I need if I'm feeling inspired to keep going.

Join the Pazzles Design Team this week as we share a few of our favorite things with you. I'm jumping in with the Design Team this week to share a few of my favorite things. My latest obsession is gold glitter paper. I can't get enough of it. My favorites based on color and cutting ability are the American Crafts Pow Glitter Paper (caramel) and the Heidi Swapp Marquee Love Paper Pad (Gold). Both are so pretty and cut so nicely.
Join the Pazzles Design Team this week as we share a few of our favorite things with you. My favourite thing – I have so many, but when it comes to cutting files, this vintage frame is my go to file and has become a favourite. Couple that with this terrific quote, and two of my favourite things come together to make a lovely home décor piece for my craft room. “Being creative is not a HOBBY – It’s a way of LIFE!"
Join the Pazzles Design Team this week as we share a few of our favorite things with you. Hello crafty friends, Melinda here with you today. Our theme this week is Favorite Things. We were to use and or incorporate some of our favorite things in our projects. So here is what I came up with. My favorite thing hands down is my Pazzles Inspiration Vue. This machine literally changed my crafting. I went from hand drawing and hand cutting my paper piecings to being able to create and cut some of the most intricate designs. Aside from the machine my second favorite thing is the software. The software allows you to design your layouts before you cut a thing. I love that it works so much like many of our other programs. I can even insert the pictures I am going to use in my layout.
For many years I have been saying I wanted to create a nice backyard garden area that was fun and functional. As I have looked at magazines, online and just chatted with people, I realized I had the ability to not only have a nice garden, but with my Pazzles, some garage sale finds, spray paint and some vinyl, I was able to get a good start on my creation.
There is no class this week. Happy Mother's Day! Klo

Alright Mother's Day procrastinators, I've got you covered! Today I have the easiest Mother's Day card ever. This is even easier than driving to the store and buying one. Our Floral Monogram Cutting Collection has been well received, so today I've created a floral monogram mom card. The card itself is just three pieces. Just glue them together and embellish with flowers or gems. Your mom will be impressed with the beautiful card you put together ten minutes before the party.
Today we say goodbye to a few of our Design Team members. They've inspired us in so many ways over the last year (or more). We've been inspired to use Action Wobble Springs in clever ways by Joanna, cut unique materials like milk jugs from Marjorie, and create the most beautiful flower bouquet from paper by Krista.
Our last Cut and Fold Medallion Collection is one of our all time most popular collections. We figured if one was good, then two was better. Introducing Cut and Fold Medallions 2 cutting collection.
Thank you so much for joining us today! This is the last free layout sketch, and National Scrapbook Day is in the books for us. Depending on where you are, there are still several hours left of this official holiday, so declare yourself off duty for the rest of the day and enjoy your time creating!
Keep the party going! Another double page layout is yours this hour. If you are not a scrapbooker, remember you can still download these files and use the embellishment pieces for other projects.
The party continues! Here's another free scrapbook layout sketch. This layout is heavy on the journaling and light on the photos. It includes five small journaling boxes for you to document some current favorites. Use the Pazzles Pen Tool to draw the categories, or print them on your printer and cut out. (The font is too small for cutting.)
Are you celebrating this wonderful holiday? Here's another free scrapbook layout sketch. The tents on this layout are created by cutting two layers. Fold along the score lines of the top layer to open the doors of the tent before you adhere the top layer onto the bottom layer.
