Ann will link the challenges to the main announcement to help keep things organized.
Kim Bright is our featured designer for this challenge. We would like to showcase this talented lady.
Hi, my name is Kim Bright, mother of two grown children and grandmother to 7 beautiful grandchildren that range in ages from 15 to3. I hold a PhD in Psychology and am a certified Hypnotherapist, as well as being an Ordained Minister.
My Mother instilled a love of crafting in me at a very early age. I used to sit and watch her crochet doll clothes for her little sister’s dolls and was always fascinated at how quickly a long string of yarn became a work of art. By 8 years old, I could crochet most anything and began trying other mediums of art. I have been crafting one thing or another for as long as I can really remember and there aren’t many crafts that I haven’t dabbled in.
After buying a machine to cut vinyl, I set out to learn everything I could about making SVG’s for my use. I own tons of stamps from EK Success Brands/Inkadinkado Stamps and have always loved the swirly Santa or the “Beautiful Santa” as I named him. Every time I made something with him, everyone would rave and ask me if I would sell them the file. I ended up sharing the Santa file over 4000 times before finally getting up the nerve to write a letter to EK Success and asking them if I could make the SVG’s of their stamps and sell them in my store. They were pretty excited that their stamps were being used for yet another medium and they asked to see some of my work. I showed them and was given express written permission to use their stamps, thus Creative Bling Vinyl Designs was born.
I have been truly blessed to have such amazing customers! There is nothing that makes me quite as proud as seeing how others interpret the SVG files I have made. Can’t wait to see what you all do with the “Angel Mindscape” file. Good Luck and have fun!
I am also having a two week "Christmas in July" sale starting July 8 and running until July 21st. It will be a buy two get one free sale.

Bye Bye Crapcut, Hello Zing.
Where have you been all my life?
Affiliates: (Lettering Delights) (SVG Cuts) (MyGrafico)
Karen- this is why it is a challenge. You don't have to choose all of them. We just want to make it so there is lots to choose from. If we have enough that do all we might be able to do an extra prize. Anyone up for the challenge??
Lou Ann- I am glad you saw this! What a cool prize!!
We all hope everyone jumps in! Way to start us off Calgal!!!! We might need to repost your project when we get each project its own thread. I hope that is okay.
@ImaCutter, Trish... Yes, by all means repost to where it belongs. Thanks!
@ImaCutter...Done!!
Anyone who has started using the Mojo sketches, please do not complete that challenge! Sorry for the inconvenience but that challenge needs to be pulled.
Thank you for understanding.

If there are typing errors, blame it on my fat fingers on my mobile device....some days they seem fatter then others!
I now have tiles of all sizes and colors, glass blocks, and many items from Dollar Tree. Just have to get busy on Christmas gifts now. Just remembered as I was writing this that I haven't even unloaded my last purchases from the trunk of my car! Oh my, got to go look at my "treasures" I bought last week!
