Welcome to my little corner of RU-vid! I am a hybrid memory keeper that’s found immense joy in designing + creating hybrid 6x8 scrapbook layouts, mini pocket pages, and Travelers' Notebook inspired album inserts using my Cricut Explore 3. My channel is dedicated to sharing process videos of those layouts.
I hope my little space inspires you!

Thank you so much! I use fonts that are multi-functional- meaning they are cut and draw capable. In DS, select TEXT from the tool panel on the left side of your canvas. After you’ve clicked on TEXT, select which font you like best from the FONT pull down menu at the top left of your canvas. Underneath each font, you’ll notice words like multi-layer, single layer, writing, etc. The fonts that are used multiple ways are listed underneath each font. Select a font that has SINGLE LAYER AND WRITING or just WRITING beneath it. If you choose single layer + writing, head back to the top left of the toolbar on your canvas, and select WRITING from the STYLE drop down menu. If the font is strictly writing, nothing else needs to be done. I hope this helps!
In this layout, I used Chalkboard Handwriting. It’s quickly becoming a favourite of mine. My other go to’s include Boyfriend Jeans, Lia’s Wedding font and Clementine
I do not currently have a video, but I can certainly record one. It's very simple, really. Using the text function in DS, type out the words you want, then adjust the sizing to fit your journal spot. It can be customized further with different fonts, as well. It's a bit vague, but I hope that helps!
Another great layout. I love that you use your cricut so much. I tried to use it for the journaling like you do, but man! it took sooooo long to finish, lol. I guess I have to set it to go and then go do something else because sitting there waiting for it to finish was hard work, lol.
This is such a cute layout! That wood grain background piece is sooo gorgeous! And yay Sharpies with your Cricut! Thanks for the link to your adapters!
