I had to have a Silhouette last Christmas... Ugh.... It's still in the box! DD has her science fair project due on Monday and wants to use bubble letters for the title since her project was about blowing bubbles. I can't find any good ones in the Silhouette store. Are there any other sites to check out?
TIA!

You are not alone. I bought my Silhouette during Christmas and used it for the first time last week!
You can cut any font on your computer with the Silhouette. Just download a font, install it, open the Silhouette Studio Software, click on the insert text button, type your letters (adjust if needed) and cut. It's really easy.
You can Google "Free Bubble Fonts". Check out the Coaster font. It may work for you.

Bubble letters fontBubble & soap fontMe. bubble fontBubble fontJust a quick tip....if you are going to load a font into your computer's font folder, close Silhouette design studio before you do it and reopen it once the font is installed. Anything installed in your computer fonts will be in your Silhouette fonts when you reopen,

I have hundreds of fonts I have gotten from dafont.com. They're all free and as previous posters have mentioned, any that you download and install will automatically be in your Silhouette fonts.

My tip to you on cutting those letters - don't use Hobby Lobby cardstock (Paper Studio). I cut a lot of paper - and that is the WORST!
If you want to go with a cheaper paper that cuts nicely - try ColorBok from Walmart. It is in the scrapbook area and comes in pads. You can get multicolor pads or pads of white or black. Get the 12x12.
