Start of Challenge Delayed

Some important news to share....

As many of you know, the Cut and Create store, in which all the Creative Pointe SVG files are sold, has been down all summer long.  At this point, I'm not sure if or when it will be back.  I have been searching for a replacement and have run into some difficulties.  I'm hoping that one way or another, all my SVG files will be available for sale again soon.  

The sole purpose of this Challenge blog is to drive interest in The Creative Pointe's SVG files.  This is why I've come to the unhappy decision of putting it on hiatus until the entire SVG catalog is available again in an online store (you can still purchase my most popular sets on Etsy).  To put it bluntly, if SVG files cannot be purchased, there is no reason to put time and effort into running this blog.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience and hope we will be up and running again soon.
