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:

Wow - amazing giveaway!!!
I'd use it for decorating some bare walls in our house. Haven't known what to do with them, and have considered investing in a Cricut but just haven't done it. I also love the idea of the heat transfer projects. I could go bananas with that!

what an amazing giveaway! As we're now looking for a new home I'd probably be using it first to do some vinyl wall art - and for my new crafting room first!
Thanks!
Maya
I would definately use it for...ummmm....for orphans...or those less fortunate...or to solve the oil leak...or to promote world peace! No, just kidding, my very selfish use of it would be to add pizzazz to my crafts. I LOVE crafting!
My son (17) and I have been looking into transferring his artwork to fabric. He has done some amazing things using different software programs and this machine would be perfect to use them in different ways. I would love to do vinyl patterns too.
I would love this tool! I'd start out by using it for some vinyl lettering around the house, but especially in my kids' toy room. Then I would probably use it to do some sewing projects and fabric transfers!

I think with a machine like this you'd constantly think of new ways to use it, but to begin I'd use it for scrapbooking, card making, sewing projects, labelling glass canisters in my kitchen...

wow, so many ideas! Glass etching would make great gifts, wedding wine goblets etc. Vinyl cutouts are very exciting, my grandson's walls need something! Maybe a car vinyl to advertise my sewing business. I like the clothing decals too. So many ideas...
I "like" Little Bird on facebook, and I posted a link to this contest on my wall!
vinyl, vinyl, and more vinyl. i love me some vinyl. well, really, I would use it for all of its amazing features, ie, heat transfers, scrapbooking, etc.
This is such a versatile machine. I would have a ton of fun playing with using all sorts of fabric, paper, card, vinyl etc. I love how you can make your own designs and use computer fonts etc.
Experimenting, creating and having fun is the name of the game... great for family projects too.
Thanks for the chance to be part of the fun.
I've also

I would use it on cards, of course.
My 40th birthday is the 28th of july... I would love this as a birthday present. I would definetly silhouette the world. I would become a maniac. I would start with clothing, acrylics, glass. You name it. Then when school is back in session I would silhouette it. Good luck to everyone who really wants it...
Whoever gets it will truly enjoy it.I also made you friends on facebook.

I'm also a FB fan :D
what WOULDN'T I use it on ! Everything I own would be labeled, appliqued, stenciled ! It's limitless.
I love making cakes and love the idea of using stencils to do damask or lace looking borders on the cakes!
OH MY!!! i would use it for everything! but i would probably start with vinyl images for the kids rooms!
we are now friends on facebook :)
what wouldn't i decorate with it!
Oh, I would use this everyday! love the fabric and rhinestones ideas. thank you!
I would use it to decorate my new apartment!
I'm a facebook fan!
I LOVE the glass etching! It will definitely be my first project!!
I don't even know where to start! I love the vinyl on canvas that you did. We have some on our walls, but they have a bunch of texture so it's hard to get the transfers on! Also love the heat transfers!!
I'm a FB fan!!!
I think the real question here is what wouldn't I use it for. I live in military housing so painting is out so I imagine decorating walls. The kitchen aid mixer could use a face lift cause I loved yours. Baby onesies are boring plain white, love making cards...oh the possibilities.
I would use it to cut out amazing amounts of vinyl and of course, share with my mother in law. :)
Wow, I really wasn't aware of all this product could do! I would start with wall lettering. Been wanting to do something special for a while. Hope I'm the lucking winner.
what an awesome give away. I would use it for some vinyl home decor ideas!
I/m a FB fan!
I would use it for hybrid scrapbooking. I've been wanting a digital die cutter for a looong time!
I would start with a design I've been dreaming up for my bedroom. The possibilities are endless from there. I'm going to add your badge on FB right now and see if I can figure out the fan thing lol. I'll post a link from my blog too:)
That thing is so cool! I would most definitely make some vinyl clings like you did for your mixer. After that ... who knows??
firrkids@gmail.com
I'm now your most recent Facebook fan!

I would first use it to make vinyl sayings for the walls... then to make alphabet beans bags... then, well lets say I have lots planned for it!!
I would use this on EVERYTHING! I would lllloooooovvvvvveeeee it!
Wow what a great giveaway! If I was the lucky winner, the silhouette would be so useful! I'm expecting our first baby girl in November, so I would use it to make the best scrapbook in the world! And I could also use it to put the baby's name on everything (even though we haven't decided on a name yet)! And then I would make my baby the most stylist baby in the neighborhood by making custom onesies! What a hip baby! Thank you so much for the chance to win!
I'm a facebook fan
That is so awesome! I think the first project I would use it on is glass etching. It looks like such a fun machine!
I still haven't bought any of those cutting machines, bc I hated the idea of having to buy new cartridges every time I had a new project. I love that with the Silhouette, its just one big investment, and then you are free to go crazy with projects!!!
I would love to use the heat transfer stuff. I only buy solid shirts, and it would be fun to give them a little something extra! Thanks!
I would use it to liven up our BARE walls without making holes, and for making adorable shirts for my son. He would love a t-rex running across his chest.
I would LOVE to win this. I would use it to decorate the new baby's nursery among many other things. There are so many great gifts I could make!
I liked to this giveaway on my blog!
I liked to this giveaway on my blog!
I'm also a FB fan.....did I mention I NEED THIS!!!??
Oh dear, I'm in trouble....I NEED this...for EVERYTHING!!! Which means I'll probably be spending part of my nursing tuition on this when I don't win the giveaway. But thanks for the chance!
