When I was working at Lasting Memories, I had a major wish-list item. I'll give you a hint. It cuts paper, vinyl, and heat transfer material, and you don't have to buy expensive design cartridges. If you guessed the Silhouette digital cutting machine, then you must have it on your wish list, too! If you have no idea what I'm taking about, prepare to be amazed. And to want one.
A few weeks ago, Silhouette sent me a free machine to try and review (I know--I've been dancing a little jig ever since!). I came home from Utah to this:
(Jiggety-jig!)
I spent the last year singing it's praises to customers in the scrapbook store, but now that I've had a chance to use the Silhouette myself, all I can say is that it really is AMAZING. I am full-fledged IN LOVE with this machine. Let me tell you why. No, let me show you why. Here is a sampling of some of the projects I've done since I received my machine (yes, I've been busy!):
I have so many great project ideas in my head for this tool, and I haven't even tried the glass etching cream, rhinestone templates, sketching pencils, or printable heat transfer material yet! Check out some more ideas here and on the Silhouette blog (which is incredible, by the way). There are tons of tutorials, FAQs, and great ideas on both sites. Here are a few things inspiring me:
The Giveaway
Okay, enough of my blabbering, here's the big news. Silhouette is letting us give away a FREE Silhouette SD cutting tool and a bunch of free accessories to one of our readers! (You should be doing a little jig about now, too!) Here's what our lucky winner will receive:

I have never entered a giveaway before. But that silhoutte machine makes me want to! I am a little out of the loop, your blog is the first place I have ever seen the Silhoutte. I would use it for everything! Honestly, mostly fabric though. I am an avid quilter. But I am over the girls ages 12-18 in my church too, so lots of opportunities to use it there. I also got volunteered to be on th PTO board at my son's school. I totally deserve to win this thing! amysandidge@hotmail.com
Love, love, love. What wouldn't I do with it. Oh, please pick me. If you need me, I'll be dreaming about all the possibilities.
Wow! You must mean what WOULDN'T I do with that machine?! I love the vinyl lettering!
Oh and I just became a facebook fan too!
This is the first time I've ever entered one of these giveaways because I never win anything...there's a first time for everything, right?
I would use it for EVERYTHING, but specifically love the heat transfer idea right now!
i would love to do some glass etching and put up some vinyl lettering in my home. thanks for the chance to win!
I have been wanting one of these machines ever since I first heard about it! I would probably start out making some new artwork for our bedroom... the walls are kind of boring right now!

Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic! I would use it on just about everything! Mostly cards, scrapbooking, and vinyl. Crossing my fingers!! :)
What would I use it on? What would I NOT use it on? I'm dying to cut some vinyl!
I would make stencils, etch glass and put vinyl words on . . . about 15 things. That would be the first day.
Wow what an awesome giveaway! I'm so glad a fellow blogger pointed me this direction- I've been inspired all over the place. I'll be back soon to announce that I've posted this on my blog and joined facebook. But for now, I'm loving the idea of cutting heat transfers to make my own cute clothes designs for my little one on the way! Thanks for this awesome opportunity!

I am planning on redecorating my daughters' room, I would use it first in the new design!!
I liked you on facebook!! Thanks for this chance!
Oh my gosh!! This is the first I have seen of this MUST HAVE machine. (I know, where have I been.) :) Although scrapping and cards are the obvious options, I completely feel in love with the Heat Transfer and Rhinestone options. Plus, my fireplace mantel has been dying to be adorned with some inspiration done in vinyl! Thanks so much for the opportunity!

This little machine is AMAZING! I would use it for vinyl lettering and cutting applique shapes for quilting. And much, much more!
oooh, I could cut patterns for applique, all sorts of goodies for my grandbaby-to-be's nursery. Count me in!
How, fun! Hands down, the heat transfer is IT for me. After that, probably the wall decals, which I'd stick to so much besides walls. (Love the decal on your mixer!)

I would make tons of tote bags, tees, onesies, etc. with the heat transfers. Such a cool machine to have.
I "need" this machine!!! I would use it for EVERYTHING! From clothing for me and my family to using it for my quilting, to scrapbooking, and for little gifts. I love this machine.
One of the many things I would use it for would be to make a quote about family using vinyl. I would put this on my living room wall, along with a new family portrait.
We are constantly on the move - thanks to Uncle Sam - which means I can't decorate (paint) as much as I'd like. The vinyls would be great to personalize the different places we live at, plus I'd love to try out some of the other features on it.

I'd use this at the library I work at for library craft programs with the teens and for decorating the library during different times of the year.
Oh gosh so many choices of things to make if I owned one of those fabulous machines! First, I would love to do some glass etching and then my entire house would be my canvas. I would and so very much need decorating done in every single room and this would be so helpful in achieving that task.
OH MY! How would I use this machine? Well, I have 3 daughters... 2 of them are artsy and love to make things. I am sure we would spend the rest of the summer making TONS of crafts and wall art with this awesome machine!!
There are so many wonderful uses for this! I think it would be worn out doing home decor projects at my house!
Also, I'm a fan on Facebook. Thanks!

I would love to use it for scrapbooking and the heat transfers look like lots of fun.
I would use this for quilting. Grandmother's flower garden and applique. Then move on to glass etching. My parents did this when I was little, and I thought it was amazing!

If I had a Silhouette, what would I do? I would make a thing or two. I would cut letters and shapes. I may even eat grapes and cut some out with this great tool. Oh please pick me I want one so bad.
