Silhouette Design Store Files/Images

You'll likely have better luck if you look for what interests you.

Try searching for specific shapes you might want (eg. "pinked", "flower", "stitched", "heart", "label", "tag", "tree", "pumpkin")
Search for "brush script" or "words" if that's what you are looking for.
"Stencil" is another good category.
Try searching by occasion - Christmas/Spring/Summer/Birthday.
There are some good designers. I liked a lot of Lori Whitlocks designs, or try "american crafts" or "echo park".
I haven't purchased anything in almost 2 years, but that's because I did a subscription for a year and got a lot of basics. Plus, I've found lots of freebies around the internet, or purchased from Kerri Bradford or the Cut Shoppe.

Agreed - I find I 'do better' when I go in looking for something specific, rather than just browse.

Speaking of Laurie Whitlock, I made this card for my niece and it was a big hit.  Not too hard and easy to change out the paper to fit anyone's birthday.

Stuff I have purchased or is on my wishlist is a lot of Christmas items, a couple of these placemats that I hope will break up busy patterned paper & surprisingly quite a few cards.

Another one to go for what I am interested in. Frames,labels and nested shapes, backgrounds, project life pieces, lots of Christmas for December Daily.

Something for me that changed how I view things in the store is to remember that you can un-group and use a portion of the design. A good example is a phrase that I wouldn't use but has a word or words in a font I really like and could mix with others or use alone to make a custom title, or cards that have really pretty designs but I don't really want the card so I'll ungroup & use just the designed piece.

I like some of the sketch fonts...they work very well with pens to journal. Jenna Sketch is my favorite.
I also do quite a bit of the phrase files and like things like pop up cards, boxes, etc. Shapes like arrows or scalloped boarders are some of my favs.

Generally once I find a designer I like (Lori Whitlock for example)...I scroll through their entire collection.

At this point, I have just about everything I could ever use. And just periodically browse the new releases.

This past weekend I was making cards and needed a flamingo and an owl, which I didn't have. So, went looking for those specific images.

Thanks for the ideas. I have credit also that I need to use.

Think about the things that you scrapbook and try searching for those items. For example, my daughter is a cheerleader and I searched for "cheer". Interestingly enough, the search brought up some Christmas files because Cheer was often linked to Joy and Peace!

Make sure you look in the free section. Sometimes you can get the free ones if you buy a certain category of file. Sometimes you can get them with any design. I will get a few designs, click on a free one and checkout. Then I'll do it again to make sure I can get all the free designs that I can. The software wouldn't let me get more than one free design at a time unless it was the weekly freebie with the other free with purchase designs.
