How To Make The Reindeer Ornament Holders
This site has incredible projects with FREE files.
But the site is in Spanish, many of the files are studio format, and it's incredibly rare that any of them have any instructions. So not great for newbies, but for those who are comfortable with the process, it's a treasure trove!

Thanksgiving Themed Books

Making my reading list for this fall - and I love to read seasonally.
Frequently I'll try new mystery series with a seasonal theme, and sometimes I end up loving them so much that I add the entire series to my to read list. I try to find something educational each season too. I have not read all of these, these are just what I found to put on my fall reading list this year, leading up to Thanksgiving.

This is not how I prefer to view my files. I do not want them grouped. And I want to view large icons.

Tips For Sorting SVG Multi Bundles
While I LOVE all these massive free bundles from Creative Fabrica - dealing with the files once they are downloaded can be a bit overwhelming. Her are some tips for saving your files, and finding them later, without having too much of an overwhelming mess.

The Combine Menu In Design Space
When The Rename Option is Hidden In Design Space
Renaming layers is especially helpful in this new version, as we no longer see the operation beside the item name.
For instance, it no longer tells us, in the layers panel, if an item will cut, draw, or score. So renaming the layer can be helpful.
I can also add the material in the layer name. For example, when making the floating acetate ornaments, I can name a layer "PC Acetate" to remind me that it is Print Then Cut, out of Acetate material.
When using Windows 11, I find that the "rename" option, all the way at the top of the right click menu, did not always appear.
It depends on where I place my cursor when I right click.
If I place my cursor at the top of the group name box and right click, I will see the items at the top of the menu - and rename is the very top item.
If I place my cursor at the bottom of the group name box and right click, I will see the bottom of the right click menu, and the rename option will not be visible, since it is at the very top.
