I think I would make place cards for our family get-together this Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed - this is an awesome giveaway!
I haven't used vinyl yet but I would like to start!
I would make baking dished with all my sister-in-laws names on them! I'll never get mine stolen again :D
I would be making wall vinyls if I won a Silhouette!! I hope I win! :)
I would use the vinyl and make word art for walls, or framed! I also love the etching!!

I would use it to create fun and personalized Christmas cards for the up coming holiday season.
I would like to make my own retro fabric and then make awesome aprons and fabulous dish gloves from the fabric.
ooh i'd love to do some papercraft paintings with that! so cool
i think i would have to break out my inner martha stewart and attack some cute halloween cupcakes!
This machine is AWESOME!! It does evereything. I would make my girls some totally cute t-shirts and with the holidays coming up.... it makes my head spin thinking of everything I could do with it!

i would make cupcake wrappers first, but then i'd go crazy and make all kinds of things once i start going with the machine!! The holidays are coming up - this would be a cool thing to have :)
I would make stencils for adding personal touches to...everything!
I would begin by making my new niece (coming in Oct.) some cute and fancy onesies with the rhinestone kit and heat transfer...she would be the fashionista of the neighborhood :)
I would make vinyl cutouts to decorate my kitchen cabinets (I live in base housing, so I can't replace them with new ones). And then I would use it to help my best friend decorate the cupcakes for her wedding!
i would try the heat transfer idea first - that looks so cool! thanks for the chance, what a FABULOUS giveaway!
I would love to try the glass etching. I would love to make some pitchers for Christmas presents. I found you thru How Does She? and I can't wait to take a look around. Thanks for the opportunity to win the Silhouette.
Oh my goodness, there is so much I want to make. I think the first thing I would do is make cute designs using the heat transfers so I could make cute shirts for my one year old son
I have wanted one of these for oh so long. I would make some vinyl crafts first and then start on my list of about hundred things. Thanks so much!
I love your site! You have so many great ideas. I would love a silhouette machine to do teacher appreciation gifts, since I am the PTA president at my children's school. So Fun!
I would love to try anything! The heat tranfers would be fun!
So cool. Thanks for the chance to win one of these. I would try the heat transfer first, but really, how can you stop playing with the machine? I would probably sit there for three days while the house fell apart around me, just cutting and drawing and etching things out.
I'm so excited! Thank you! I would make heat transfer t-shirts for my husband's new band! That is after I make a couple of awesome Thank You cards for Cake Spy and How Does She!
Where to even begin? I love cupcake liners,so they are a must! My sister would love to have literature quotes on her classroom walls, another must! My dear, faithful little betta could use a lovely glass etching on his home...oh it goes on and on!!
Your blog is gorgeous! I think the first thing that I would make with the Silhouette would be something with etched glass.
