How to narrow the list down? I'd begin by customizing my son's class Halloween party but tags for my homemade soap would not be far behind . . . then holiday food gift labels . . . . The list goes on and on. :-)
I would love this addtion to my baking collection.I do lot's of partys for Family and friends.
good article
Hard to know what I would make first. Selfishly I'd want to first make some vinyl decoration for my walls. But I would probably end up making stuff for our non-profit (getting girls out of prostitution) - for the house, promotion and items to sell for fund raisers.
Expressions of love and appreciation can be found in the DETAILS. I would use this to make some wonderfully detailed gifts for others. I would start by etching glass. I would like to make a set of Fleur De Leis drinking glasses for my inlaws who are huge New Orleans Saints fans!
The first project would be a long awaited clock for my kitchen. I can only imagine the unique numbers, design and quote I could create with the Silhouette. Then on to many other fun projects. I can hardly wait!
I would love to win! I would love to use the vinyl option to decorate presents, would be great for showers as well as decorate my home!
So many projects...so much machine envy! I would start with fabric transfers for monthly photos of my baby!
I would make some tattoos for the kids first.
I would love to try some vinyl with it.
I would make lettering for my home.
I would use the machine for everything but I am really excited about the heat transfers.
I would love to be able to design a shirt for my daughter's 1st birthday for her to wear. That would totally rock my socks!
Ooooh more like what couldn`t I make!!! I would make cupcake wrappers, wall deco, T shirt appliques & more!
i'd make crown cupcakes!
I would take it into my daughter's 3rd grade class and have them come up with something insanely cool to create with this little beast! WOW do I have a crush on this machine!!!
i would make toppers for my roller derby themed cupcakes that i am making for my league's november bout: scaries vs faries, oh this looks like fun!
Oh it's meant to be!!! I am throwing a baby shower in October and the invitations and decorations look just like the cut-out that is in the picture!!! I would love to have the ability to make creative and matching beautiful treats! Please pick me! :)
The first thing i would make would def. be the tempoary tattoo's! Kids would love that!!!
The first thing I will try is making cupcake wrappers!!!
I WOULD MAKE STENCILS FOR BABY ONSIES. I HAVE AN 8TH MONTH OLD GRANDSON.
I would love to try heat transfer to make some t-shirts.
love the jar appliqué treatment! but think my first project would be for baking journal cover designs doing for holiday gifts.
I would make cupcake wrapper and toppers and more cupcake wrappers and toppers and then think about making wrappers and toppers for cakes. This would make my life so much easier. I searched and searched websites to find cupcake wrappers for a party I catered on Saturday. I would the ideal ones and paid $50 to expedite shipping and they didn't arrive on time. IT was a disaster. Please let me win.
I would like to decorate a nursery room for my sister-in-law. She is having long time wanted baby. I would use for everything listed on Silhouette web site: from vinyl stickers to paper craft. Such a great tool. I am blogging about this giveaway.
