I am absolutely thrilled - seriously doing back flips (okay, not seriously I would probably crack my head, but jumping up and down for sure). Here is what Santa (aka Silhouette) delivered Christmas Eve:
Silhouette you must have intercepted my letter to Santa - because this bad boy was on there! I am so excited to have the opportunity to try out this machine. And not only do I get to try it out, I also get to offer one to one of my fabulous readers! Yes, for you!
Here is just a sampling of all of the fabulous things the Silhouette can do:
Paper Projects
Heat Transfer Rhinestones
Adhesive Vinyl
Heat Transfer for custom apparel
Temporary Tattoos
Due to it being Christmas and all, I didn't have a ton of time to really play around, but I set it up (super easy), and I made my first cut (again, super easy) to dress up my Mac...(just remember, it was crunch time here - it was Christmas day, but I just had to test it out! And luckily my kiddos were playing with toys and my hubby was taking a cat nap on the couch).
This machine is super easy to use and comes with 50 exclusive digital designs, but if you want more you can buy them on their online store for as low as .14 cents a piece with a subscription. LOVE IT! I really love, that there are no cartridges and you get to buy just the images YOU want.
I did get a little lost just scrolling through all of the great images...my mind was whirling with project ideas.
AND they also have free image downloads on their BLOG every week! Where you can also find great project ideas and tips for your Silhouette.
Now here is the part you have been waiting for...

ReplyDeleteI left a comment on the Silhouette blog. (But did not mention LOLcats. Hey, I try to keep my weirdness confined to one blog at a time.)
ReplyDeleteWhat's the first thing I'd make if I won a Silhouette SD? Um, um... well, heck, what WOULDN'T I make? (Seriously, if I can't make my own Random.Org which draws only numbers 1-4 [heh], I guess the first thing I'd like to try is some vinyl subway art.)

ReplyDeleteWell, the FIRST thing I would do??? I need some vinyl for my living room wall and my daughter would love some sparkly bling (her birthday is coming up), but then I'm in charge of making birthday cards for a youth group of 23 so that would be right up there too. So, right away that awesome little gadget would be put to great use!
