Fun Files!!

Having too much fun with the snow cut files of SVG Cutting Files!!  Here is another layout using Winter Wave File.  Love this picture of my daughter "modeling" the new scarf and hat her Nana knit.  She grabbed some gloves (that's why they don't match..lol!) and posed for the camera!!  Again, loving how I could cut the file to match with what my daughter is wearing!!  Having awesome fun with cut files!!

 Super adorable, right!?!

SVG Cutting Files Design Team

Hello Everyone!  I'm excited to announce that I am on the Design Team for SVG Cutting Files!!  So honored to be a part of this fun team and work with the adorable files!!  Here is my first official posting on the team!!  We got a bit of a snow fall and I was inspired to work with the Snowman Peek file.  I also added the Snowflake (without the face) to fit behind my paper title to balance out this layout.  These files are absolutely so fun and easy to use that I know you'll be creating too!!

 Isn't this file ADORABLE?!?
