I would make some Halloween cupcake wrappers. Maybe start etching my name in my glass baking dishes!
I would LOVE to win this Silhouette! I have had my eye on this thing for quite some time. I would first make cupcake liners because I'm a baking fanatic, next I would try glass etching (how neat!)

I would make some awesome christmas cards. I make my cards every year and this would give me so many more options! i have a paper obsession! lol
Cards, decorating..oh so many choices
Something for Halloween!
I'd love to decoupage my boring white cabinet in my craft nook, and maybe make fondant stencils out of the negatives.
This would be perfect for the scrapbooking of all my college pictures! They could add so much to a page!
I'd totally love this!Honestly, I''d probably start out just cut out random useless things. Then I'd make more awesome stuff - like exciting Christmas wrapping decor! And of course, cupcake wrappers.
Gosh, there are so many options. I want to make vinyl wall decor but I also want to make cupcake wrappers and do scrapbooking projects!
I would definitely start with cupcake wrappers and then move on to toppers!
I upcycle these promo tins that chew came in. We had alot of them left over from people not wanting them, so I took all 30 of them home and now I make purses out of them. This would really help get my creative juces flowing.
I would definitely use for cupcake wrappers and of course some great crafts with my boys, love the wreath idea on their blog.
I would use this to stencil everything in sight!
I'm a preschool teacher--I can think of THOUSANDS of uses! Fingers crossed!
OHH-EM-GEEE...the possibilities are endless!!! Okay, if I had to choose the first project I would work on using the Silhouette, it would be a template of butterflies and leaves to stencil on my crafting room floor!! Thank you for the chance to win this awesome item...fingers crossed...oh pick me, pick me please!!!
Hi CakeSpy! I would make personalized decorations for desserts that I make my family and friends if I had one of these. THANKS for have such a fun blog for me to read every night! :)
I have seen one of these and completely fallen in love. I'm a scrapbooker and I would totally redesign my books with these!
II would love to make some awesome cards!
I would love to have one of these to use in my classroom; I could cut shapes so that my students can create models of the things we talk about in science.
I'd like to think that I'm a crafty little cupcake. If I won one of these babies, I would start by adding some more detailed cutting work to the cards I make already. Right now I am limited to what I can do with my own hands and a pair of scissors. I'd also love to make my own cupcake wrappers!
I would finally start a cake scrapbook!
First I would use it for scrapbooking, then I would attempt to design some SQUARE cupcake liners --> I can't find any anywhere and this would be awwwesome!
I don't even know where to start. I have been drooling over this thing since it first came out and with my daughters 1st birthday coming up I would have at least 101 uses like cupcake toppers, banners etc. (silently crosses fingers)
So, Christmas is far off, but I'd definitely use this to aid in the Christmas card making!
Holiday cards or holiday cupcake wrappers. Or both!
