Shawn Mosch

https://www.shawnmosch.com/

My name is Shawn Mosch and I have owned a Cricut since 2008. I quickly fell in love with all of the amazing things that I could create, especially Disney projects. Over the years, that turned into me sharing my projects and tutorials with others online. If you have owned a Cricut since the early days of using cartridges, you might know the site my family created called MyCutSearch, which allowed you to search for images found on Cricut cartridges.
Crafting was always a hobby for me, and it was not until 2020, with encouragement from friends and family that I decided to launch my website ShawnMosch.com
Now I coach 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!

Dr. Bette Daoust

https://www.bettesmakes.com/

I also love to create designs using Illustrator and sometimes Photoshop with a touch of Canva thrown in. My technical skills are above most as I completed a Ph.D. in Computing Science and Engineering. Coming back to my roots in crafting is where I began and now I am here to share my work and help you along the way with inspirations.
I'm Bette, the craft maker and writer behind this blog. I am based in Vancouver Canada as the resident DIY crafts and DIY Home Decor blogger. I am an international best-selling author with books translated into 7 plus languages. I started at an early age making my own clothes, home decor and even won a girl scout (guide) contest for creating the best gadgets for our outdoor camp! I have never stopped! Best of all - my family of artists. Both my daughters are extremely creative. Carina is a master knitter, an artist, and imaginarian with all types and mediums of art. I love learning from her! Maren is a quilter and gardener along side being a Yoga Instructor. All 3 of us are writers.
My favorite thing to do each day is to make something new to beautify my surroundings. All of my creations are either physical ones such as wreaths, crochet, papercrafts, etc. I am in favor of making do with the supplies at hand with  minimal expense. This means: re-cycle and re-use what you are able.
