I share my love of paper.

As a child I hoarded office supplies and made my own stationary. When I grew up my love for paper naturally evolved into scrapbooking and card making. I made my first handmade card in 1999 and was immediately hooked. My whole world changed when I discovered digital die cutters and was able to make anything I could dream up.

I'm the mother of two teens and a digital marketer by day, crafter by night.

Bethany Scott brings a mixed media feel to her projects. She lives in Wisconsin, is married with three littles (ages 4, 3, and 2), and shares a crafty space (and business!) with her mom. Bethany studied photography and theatre in college and is a self-trained graphic designer and videographer.

The first advertisement she directed appeared on national TV when she was just 19 years old.

Shawn Mosch has owned a Cricut since 2008. She quickly fell in love with all of the amazing things that she could create, especially Disney projects. Over the years, that turned into her sharing her projects and tutorials with others online. If you have owned a Cricut since the early days of using cartridges, you might know the site her family created called MyCutSearch, which allowed you to search for images found on Cricut cartridges.

Crafting was always a hobby for Shawn. It was not until 2020, with the encouragement from friends and family that she decided to launch the website ShawnMosch.com Now Shawn coaches others how to use their Cricut by focusing on teaching them to really understand how the Design Space software works so they can create anything they can imagine!

Kristi loves using her graphic design expertise to create unique designs that can be used with Cricut cutting machines. When she first started using her Cricut, it was purely for fun to monogram shirts and water bottles or create custom shirts for different occasions.
