January Challenge SVG Cutting Files

Here is the cute Jack Russel Letter file for my entry for the January Challenge over at SVG Cutting Files http://svgcuttingfiles.blogspot.com/2013/01/blog-challenge-1-this-love-jan-15th.html

Another retirement card!  This one is for another friend who just recently retired.  Even though this stamp set is retired, I just love it and use it quite abit.

I decided to make some bags today, I made an owl to go on the front.  I got the owl idea from Frenchie (www.frenchiestamps.com/).  These bags are so easy to make with 2 pieces of 12x12 paper.  I'm still trying to use up my old Stampin' Up! paper!  I used the sweater trim for the handles.
