Hi Abbi – I just came across your account – I just received a cricut maker for Christmas and looking for ways to use my new machine. I liked your Christmas ornaments with the glitter – I tried to download the sayings – but they are on a letter size page and it looks like you might have created these on a larger page or using landscape or something…. Could you please let me know how I can download all of the Christmas Fonts – I must be doing something silly here…. Thank you looking forward to hearing back from you Lucy

Hi Lucy,
Have you uploaded the SVG file to Design Space? The preview image will only show part of the words. Once uploaded to design space you should see the full imagery appear. 🙂

OK – I got it…. I was just seeing the image on the download screen so to speak and did not even think about putting it in the design space…. I knew I was doing something silly….
Thanks… I feel like a toddler…. So much to learn….
