Awesome! I would use the Silhouette for so many projects, but would first make some cute little onesies for my soon to be one year old with the heat transfer vinyl. Thanks! :)

[Cortney VW]

I would do the heat transfer first then I would go crazy doing all the other stuff! :)

[Beth]

I would love something like this to make tags for baked goods and treats I make for holiday gifts. I would also love using the Silhouette to make custom party products. Sometimes my kids come up with unique birthday party themes and I spend hours trying to make/find decorations, invitations, etc. that I could create myself.

[jamie]

the first thing i'd try is vinyl wall decals!!

[Paula]

cute little individual boxes for cupcakes...perfect for thank-you party favors.
