    I LOVE TpT!! I bought many items for my classroom when I was teaching 3rd grade. I remember getting an invitation to open a shop when TpT first opened but couldn’t because I was in the middle of grad school.

    I did not know that we could shop for svg files there. I learned something new today!!

    I was wondering what software teachers use to create their projects in TpT? If I thought I could make a little extra $$ I would try it. I usually make all my things free hand…because I do not know what software is being used. I thought that I might be able to do somethings on a cutting machine. A friend of mine owns one.

      Hi Lynne! There are many software choices like Inkscape, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Additionally, electronic cutters come with their own software programs as well. You can choose your favorite.

    WOW, I didn’t know you could sell on TpT if you weren’t a teacher. I may try this. I’ll check out what’s being sold and see what I can come up with. Thanks Christine for this information.
