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.

Catch The Bug Challenge - World Kindness Day

This week at Bugaboo Stamps' Catch The Bug Challenge its all about World Kindness Day. I made this card using the Bugaboo Angels (If Friends Were Flowers) stamp.
This is for my great niece.. She just had oral surgery and I wanted to brighten her day...
To make her look like my niece I decided to modify the stamp by removing her wings and giving her a smile. (I LOVE being able to modify digital stamps..)

Creative Inspirations Shaker Card challenge

This card was created for the Creative Inspirations Shaker Card challenge.. This is my first shaker card and I found it to be the most difficult I've ever done. I overglittered the inside and had so much of it stick to the acetate front... this was fun to make and a good experience but this card will stay here for the holidays and hang on our tree.. More practice is needed before sending these out to anyone... but I'm glad I challenged myself to try it...

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...
