I would make all my Halloween decorations with it! - black and purple spiderweb cutouts would be EVERYWHERE!
I would love to try the heat transfer. I have visions of cute t-shirts for every holiday for my kids. :)
that looks like a blast! i would love, love, love to make personalized tags for favors, food gifts, etc. Also, CARDS! Including the ever approaching christmas cards coming up. oh, the possibilities...
Cupcake wrappers!
My current project is creating some eye-catching business cards for myself, so something like this would help me do some cool stuff :)
I'd cut out stencils for spray painting DIY t-shirts, for sure.
I would love to try it out & make some of those super cute cupcake wrappers I've seen around the web!
Winning a Silhouette will be so amazing because not only is it an awesome machine I could use it for D.I.Y. decorations for my wedding next year. I would also love to use it to help me decorate cupcakes in a creative fashion!
I could totally use one of these for favor packaging! Or cute bunting! Love it.
I would LOVE to make cards with this!
I would love to try this on cupcakes or brownies - sprinkle powder sugar on top of the frosting in a cool, whimsical design.
I see scrapbooking my family cook book, and my 2010 christmas cards in my future! <3<3
I would LOVE to have this to make Seussical cupcake wrappers & toppers for my upcoming baby shower :-)
Oh gosh! I just recently started scrap booking and this would make it so much more fun! Birthday cards, cupcake wrappers! So many possibilities!
I would hardly know where to begin...so many ideas swirling around in my head. I would probably start with some vinyl wall decals for my daughter's room.
Cupcake toppers for sure... maybe some crafts with my kids... scrapbooking... spraypaint stencils... I can think of A LOT!
Cupcake papers, holiday cards and decorations for my classroom bulletin boards!!
I want one! I could use it for so many things, but first I would make cupcake wrappers.
Ohhhh the things I'd make with this and my photography...this would be the introduction of mix media into my work :-)
Thanks for having this amazing giveaway, Jessie!

This would be so cool! I would use it to make my baby sisters scrapbook:)
Hi there! I know exactly what I would do with the Silhouette, if I was the person fortunate enough to win it. I just recently got married (as in a couple weeks ago :D), and I would love to throw a housewarming party so we can show off our new place, and get some use out of those wedding gifts! I would use the Silhouette to make handmade invitations and decorations!
so cute!!!! place mat details
WANT!! Definitely would use this for cupcakes and cakes. Wrappers or even to add some fancy to cake stands.
I would use the stencils to make artwork - like collages, diaramas - and perhaps paintings. I would create little worlds to put my miniature food jewelry in; or inserts for jewelry boxes that are tiny food shapes. What can't you do with this amazing machine?
Oh my gosh, I *need* this to help make my wedding invitations and other crafts! What an amazing giveaway!!!
