 This is a wonderful site with great SVG's! They convert the files to a Cricut Explore user friendly SVG, which means they put it in color and keep fold lines on a separate layer so that you have the choice of making them score lines in the software. There are even tutorials on how to change the formats yourself! They are sponsoring several upcoming challenges at FCCB, so here's a chance to check them out and maybe be on their Design Team!


Creative Team call for digiplayground.com design team
We are looking for enthusiastic, talented, and friendly designers

We are looking to see how you creatively use digital cutting files in your craft projects. 
We would like one or two of those projects to include the use of designs from the digiplayground.com store.
