Awesome...where to begin?

I'd love to try out heat transfer!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterSarah E.

My first project would be school PTA stuff for our first holiday party of the year!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterMishelle

I would go vinyl crazy...sayings for my house and loads of gifts for teachers and friends.

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterSara

I would love to use the vinyl to put Labels on EVERYTHING!! I love everything it does though! I want one so so so very bad!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterAbbie

The first thing I would do if I won this AMAZING machine is jump up and down screaming. The second thing I would do is make baby name signs for my friend's nurseries as baby gifts. I would then use it to make Christmas gifts for my family and friends. I love the idea of making personal signs out of vinyl. Pick me! Pick me!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterKari

I would start with glass etching for me and temporary tattoos for the kiddos!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterSusan N.

I'm throwing a halloweeen party this year and would love to make a bat banner or spiderwebs to put on the table!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterStephanie Jarvis

I love everything this machine does and would like to try it all, but I would first start out with vinyl. I would love to create gifts for my co-workers, who are teachers - they deserve the BEST!!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterChris

I would like to make some vinyl signs to give as Christmas gifts!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterAJ

I would really love to use the Silhouette to cut vinyl letters for a wall decor project I'm working on!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterAleta

Vinyl, baby, vinyl!!! I can't wait! Thanks for the AWESOME giveaway!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterKari VanNoy

I would make beautiful personal cake stencils! So neat!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterKayla Herman

I am destined to have a Silhouette, but my pocketbook doesn't realize it yet! I LOVE the vinyl and am in bad need of a Silhouette to label EVERYTHING in my home re-organization project, but first, a temporary tattoo with my husband's name. He is in Iraq for a year, and the images on video conference are not clear enough for him to realize the scam!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterTara

I would love to use a Silhouette for vinyl crafts. I've been wanting to make a large family plate for quite some time.

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterKatie

I would make a card or scrapbook page with pattern paper that I created with the pen feature (I would be buying that pronto if I won!)

September 28 | Unregistered Commenter*Queen* B

I would love to try out the heat transfers! Custom clothes...sign me up!

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterShalee Van Genderen

There are so many cute things I want to do with the silhouette but first I would love to try to etch something on glass.

September 28 | Unregistered CommenterBriAnna Cloward

I would love to make some personalized shirts for my twins first. After that, I will go to town with the paper crafts. I love the gift tags, cards, etc! This is is so exciting!

September 29 | Unregistered CommenterBrigitte

I would make shirts for my March of Dimes Team!

September 29 | Unregistered CommenterTiffany

Wall decals!

September 29 | Unregistered CommenterKarie

I volunteer for a non-profit by making greeting cards for children in hospitals who have a terminal or life-threatening illness. Winning this machine would allow me to make beautiful and creative cards, and would allow me to make them more quickly (I currently cut everything by hand). :)

September 29 | Unregistered CommenterLauren

I would love to win this thing. I would definitely be using the heat transfer right off the bat! My boys need cute new fall clothes!!

September 29 | Unregistered CommenterDarrah

I would make lots of goodies for my son's upcoming birthday party! Invites, favors, cupcake wrappers...
