My husband and I just finished work on a new website to help all of you in finding your Cricut images fast. It is called CricutSearch.comIt is a family project . . husband is the programmer, I am the crafter and Cricut user, son is the artistic one that created the logo and daughter is the one that helped me to organize and gather all of the images to make the search tool work. The idea is that if you want to know what cartridge has a spider on it, you type spider into the search bar, and then CricutSearch.com will give previews of the handbook pages that have a spider on them. That way you can preview all of the images and find the one that works best for YOUR project. And once you pick on, the name of the cartridge is right below the preview. Let me know if you have ANY questions. This is a family project, and we just launched a little over a week ago. Oh! We have found that some people that use the site through some versions of internet explorer have problems with the search function working right. If you download Google Chrome and use that to navigate to our site, that will get the best results. Happy crafting! Shawn

Very cool. I tried it...searched for scalloped circle...no results. Searched scallop and got what I was looking for! Works faster for my than with my Gypsy, although my Gypsy is more mobile than my computer.
Thanks for all the work doing this. I have saved the site in my favs!!

It was a lot of work . . . from May to just two weeks ago this was ALL I was doing on the weekends, and a couple hours after work each night, and my hubby did the programming to make the search features work right.
Oh, if you do find something you think we missed, please let us know . . . typing in the keywords for the search is all about what I called it . . . suitcase is also luggage, but someone found that I did fire engine and not fire truck, so the image they thought would come up did not . . . but if you let me know we can look at those "misses" and add things. I added scallop and scalloped circle last night because of another person's suggestion. The only bad part of two word images is that every hot dog will come up when you search the word dog . . . because dog is in the two word phrase hot dog. Nothing is perfect.
Thanks again!

This is really incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time & effort to make such a valuable resource available to us! I especially like the fact that you not only name the source of the item for which we are searching but provide a visual also! Exceptional! I appreciate it very much & I have a Gypsy & Design Studio and still find this far more helpful!

Figured that this is the fastest way to let everyone know . . . the site is down right now . . . they are switching us to a faster/better server and something got messed up in the move.  I am sorry for any inconveniences this causes. I have our IT department (aka my husband Jeff) working on it right now.

Thank you so much! I've saved your site in Favs. I use to spend my evenings looking for cuts I would need the next day and marking them with sticky tabs. Different color stickies for each family of similar images. My own system. Now, I can just go to your site and type in what it is that I will need. This is incredible. It will save huge amounts of time for everyone! I know how much work it is to try and find a certain image. Thank your daughter for me for all the hard work. Her eyes were probably going crazy after looking thru all those booklets. I wish PC would either use a black outline around images or print them in the booklets in a darker color to make them easier to see. It's very hard to see detail when they are so small and light. Sometimes after cutting I see a cut I didn't know was in the image. Am I the only one with this problem? I'm just saying - it could all be a little easier.
