Inspiring You to Create is the mission of We Can Make That!
If you love your cutting machine, especially if you like your Cricut (or Free SVG Cutting files for your Cricut) then you will LOVE this site.
I’ve been crafting since I was probably 4 years old. My mom had a ceramic shop in our basement so I started young. I was born with the creative gene. Having a paintbrush in my hand at an early age made me think it was a natural thing.
I bet you’re wondering how We Can Make That began
In October 2016, I decided to start this blog to share my love of crafting. It was just me on here [that’s why I went with the “.me” website extension]. As you read the earlier blog posts you could probably picture me crammed into a spare bedroom turned home office for my graphic design studio (which was born in 1997 and still going today. I call that my “day job” LOL!).
I was finding my way in this new life as a single mom of two kids. I was able to find that “me” that was lost all those years in a bad marriage. I used my new home as a creative outlet to find the old me again. Painting furniture I found my the curb or designing SVGs and making decor from Dollar Tree items. It was a great outlet!
After that first year of learning how to do all this online stuff, and finding the direction that We Can Make That! was meant to go, I felt I was finally getting my life together! It’s feeling like the fairytale life I wanted all those years is now my reality – both at work and at home.
Don’t get me wrong, life is not perfect, but it IS wonderful! Another fun fact about me, I became a newlywed again at 44 years old. Here’s my hubby, BFF and biggest supporter of my creative businesses: SteveO.
We live in North Dakota with our 5 kids and one hilarious cat, Tux. Our cat usually makes an appearance on my Facebook Lives, he’s often in trouble or acts like a shadow in the background of my Lives on Facebook.
What creative crafts will you find here on the blog and in the SVG shop
DIYs and designing SVG files are my passion. I love this! I feel so lucky to get to do what makes me happy (what I love to do) on this site for ‘work.’ I am thankful I have some amazing people around me to share this all with, is now my reality that feels like the fairy tale I always wanted.
Believe in your fairy tale and you will have the strength and support to make it happen.

Yea. I posted a mug shot of my cat as an employee. Cat lovers will understand. I was finishing up some crafts and he always needs to lay on the cutter.
