FOUND A GREAT site

hey all.. don't know if anyone else has heard of this but I kinda stumbled onto it today and thought I'd share... I'm always having trouble finding which cricut cartridge a certain cut I want is on... cheat sheets help but you still have to go thru paper.. the gypsy is wonderful for doing searching, but thats a lot of money to pay if all you ever use it for is to search cut files... so this site:

CRICUT SEARCH

was created. the next time you are wondering which cricut cartridge has a birthday cake, or baseball, go to this site and search there..

hope it helps you like is has been helping me.

Bugaboo Stamps DT Call challenge

I'm going to try for a DT spot at my fav stamp site, Bugaboo Stamps. They make it so easy to order digital stamps. All you have to do is pick out your fav stamp (this is the hard part as you want all of them..LOL), order, download, then print out a digital stamp. EZ PZ.... and for November, the digis are 50% off... I'm going to pull up my wish list and get busy ordering...
I'm submitting one card using a Bugaboo stamp (Poppi Penguin Christmas) and two others.
I used all kinds of texture on the Poppi card. Liquid applique on the marshmallow, glitter dimensional on the foam, glimmer mist on the papers, stickles everywhere and colored "blingees" around the frame. It really is cuter in person... hope it photographs well.

Wish me luck.. I'd LOVE to work with this awesome group...

A Spoon Full of Sugar, Caardvarks, Color Throwdown challenge

Sometimes a card just comes together easily for me.. (few and far between I'll be the first to admit..) This one started with coloring the image.. I just love this Hedgie Halloween stamp.. The colors worked really good with the Halloween Colors challenge from Color Throwdown.. A Spoonful Of Sugar challenge was to use Halloween theme.. and Caardvarks challenge was to decorate inside and out..
then I wanted something unusual in the corners.. so I had the bat pieces left over from last year..
the mat was cut with my cricut..
