Good morning, friends! I have an awesome giveaway to share with you today!
Check this out.. Have you heard of the Silhouette? It’s a personal craft cutting machine.

My camera weighs more than that! :O There are no expensive cartridges or alphabets to buy. It comes with the software to create your own designs. You can also cut out any font on your computer.. Yes!

I would immediately start on some paper crafts for the holidays….maybe some homemade cards or decorations.
Oh! All of the things I want to do….it would be amazing!
I just started making cards,This silhouette craft cutter would be very helpful.I could really make some great cards with it.Would also like to start scrapbooking.I was just thinking there is so many ways the craft cutter could help.I could have alot of fun.
I LOVE things like this!!! I am a totaly crafty and would LOVE to add this to my handy tools!
I would take it to school to help my bulletin boards look great.
OMG! I have already thought of five ways I can use this today! I’m painting the house (before I get married…not to mention all the ways i can use it for the wedding) and my home decor wall stickers are going to have to go. The Silhouette would be perfect for recreating the “stickers” that are no longer available for order. I’ve seen these in the craft store, but had no idea they did all this! WOW.
Oh how fun! I would use it for scrapbooking, football things and decorating our home. :)
Well this item is #1 on my christmas list now… Unless I win it here :]
The 1st thing I would do with this awesome Silhouette would be to make holiday cards, gift tags and paper decorations for Thanksgiving and christmas dinner. Since the holidays are right around the corner I’ve been thinking of all the fun crafts. I also would make many fun items for a craft show my friend and I are doing next month. Its at the local elementary school to help raise money for the school!
I want it!! I would probably make some vinyl clings first.
I am a Girl Scout leader so this would be used for all kinds of arts and crafts projects. My daughter is in college and loves to create T-shirts for her and her friends. The possibilities are endless with this wonderful machine. I love the convenience of not purchasing all sorts of other cutters. The fact that it is software on your computer is AWESOME!!!!! Pick me pick me pick me. :)
I would etch some glass-anything and everything! That looks so very cool!
I would love to make some things with vinyl. I’m just sitting here thinking of all the endless possibilities!! Thank you for offering this giveaway!

I would LOVE to make fancy cupcake wrappers and gift cards. Such a cool tool!!
Love the vinyl — I can see that on my laundry room.
Deb
OH MY GOSH I love this thing! I think I would do glass etching!! Then for sure the shirts! It is so cute! I think that if I don’t win the Hubby should get this for my birthday since it is October 6th!
I would love to try glass etching! I like that I can use any font!
I have wanted one of these ever since my sister got one and told me all about it. I would definitly grab some vinyl and make LOTS of cute labels for my pantry, and homeschooling room. Thanks for the contest. I hope I win. :):)
i would personalize a trick or treat bucket for my 2 year old!! then i would go to town making cute tees. very cool machine!!
Oh, Oh, Oh! I *need* this fun tool! First thing first – I’d make personalized candy jars with the etching technique – so cute!
I would do every kind of media offered once at least. Hey, my passions is cards but this could lead to way more!
I would love to be able to make my own scrapbook pages! Scrapbooks are so personal anyway – being able to personalize them even more with my own pages, perfect!
My son is a Marine and will be returning in November from Afghanistan I would so make t-shirts, signs, oh the things I could do.
What an AWESOME giveaway!! I think I’d use it to create wall words. :)
What wouldn’t I do with that thing?!?! It’s my dream machine! I think first I would make some wall decor out of vinyl, as I’ve wanted to do that for a while now. Of course, I’d probably be so start struck trying to think of the perfect first project for it that I’d just end up cutting my name out of paper to stick somewhere, but even that would be simply AMAZING!
I’d be making Halloween decorations!! =D
Oh my gosh!! As an avid scrapbooker, I’ve ALWAYS wanted the Silhouette instead of the Cricut! Soooo exciting! Amanda, if you get to use/test one, you will LOVE it. The first thing I would cut out is some glass etching projects for wedding gifts. :)
Glass etching to start and then everything else!
Oh! well my son would probably want the temp tatoos:) I have a set of etched win glasses in mind for a dear friends B Day. Love the laundry room idea:)!
Good Luck to me!!
I’m a vinyl wall decal addict. I would love to make my own. Would also like to make some t-shirts for the kids. Really the possibilities are endless.
How fun! I would love to do the glass etching! Thanks for the giveaway! Whoever wins will be blessed!
I have not seen the Silhouette, but it looks really fun! I would use it to help decorate for a ladies meeting at church. As a former teacher, I know how time-consuming it can be to make letters. I would have loved to have had such a great tool back then!
Wow! What an amazing giveaway! This is really, really awesome! There are so many things you can do with this machine I wouldn’t know where to start! I would LOVE to win, and if I did I think I would start with the vinyl, I’ve always wanted my owm machine to do that :)
I would make all the birthday signs, tags, announcements, etc…for my brother’s upcoming 50th birthday next month…than I would sit and play with it all day and night. Guess housework would be put on the back burner for a while…I just LOVE new toys!!! I’m so enjoying my second childhood….I didn’t have toys like this when I was growing up so I guess I’m trying to make-up for all that lost time of not having them. Good luck to everyone, and for the winner have tons of fun with your new toy!!!
This is so neat! I think the first thing I would do with this wonderful machine is make some custom gifts for Christmas. I know I love to have things with my name/initials on them- I can make an ordinary gift special by personalizing it!
I love labeling… EVERYTHING! This machine would come in handy for that. I would label custom cookie jars for all of my friends ;)
Oh that Boo banner is so cute! And the t-shirts are adorable!!!
Wow – this little machine can do a lot of cool stuff! Thanks for the chance to win, and the coupon (if I don’t!). I would use it to save lots of time spent cutting out paper for cards, etc..
Oh My, What wouldn’t I make first? lol Probably a welcome sign for my front door, or labels for my canisters of sugar and flour. This would rock to win!!
Glass etching is always a hit, but I would love to try iron-ons!
WOW I need one of those. Scrapbooking AND wall words. Too cool.
So fun! I would love to make birthday party decor and some cute shirts for my kids.
The wheels are already turnin’ for this one. How fun would that be?!?!?! Thanks for your cute blog and all your cute giveaways. Loves!
Oh PICK ME random generator PICK ME! I would love to etch glass and make halloween paper crafts. My birthday is coming can I have an early birthday wish? ;-)
WOWZA! I wouldn’t know where to begin! If I had to choose one project to start though, it would have to be these gorgeous white plates that I have. I have always wanted to personalize them up and display under my cabinets. I HOPE I WIN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has to be one of the coolest crafting things I have every seen! I think I would make a wall hanging for my baby’s nursery! Once we find out what we’re having that is!
Wow! this is the coolest thing! My best friend’s dad just passed away, so the first thing I would make would be a memorial plate for him. Love your blog,it’s a daily visit!!
I love the etched glass on the clear baking dishes! Great giveaway!
Definitely cupcake papers for Halloween!
Glass etching would be my first project! I would also go crazy labeling everything…I love labels! thanks for the opportunity!
I would definately do the etched glass! That would make such an awesome personal gift to a friend! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I would have to go with wall art. I’d look for great sayings or a bible verse to put in each of my girls’ rooms. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Holy smokes and oh, my!!! Now that my Mac and I would be able to hook up with a Silhouette…..woooowwweee! First up: etched glass monograms for my glass vases and apothecary jars! Yippee! : )
Such an awesome giveaway! WOW! Vinyl lettering for our entry way in our new home would be my first project! :)
I have wanted one of these FOR SO LONG!!!! I love subway art and that would be my first project.
I would like to make a sign for the wall over our recycling bins. I also thing the temp tattoos would be fun. So many things to have fun with.
I would make some custom shirts with the iron0on cut out!
I have two first things I would make with a Silhouette. (I know that’s kind of impossible, but I really can’t choose between the two right now!) I would make some adorable heat transfer shirts for my two cute boys, and I would also make some etched glass serving dishes for my kitchen (and a few for friends and family for Christmas).
Thanks so much for this awesome giveaway!
Lindsay
What I would use it for would be to make glass blocks for Christmas gifts for everyone on my list….. Thanks
I think I would start with t-shirts, then do some labeling, then do some glass etching, then do some vinyl wall decals, then do some hybrid scrapping projects… oh, wait – you just wanted to know the FIRST project, right??? I don’t know if I could decide!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for sure!!
Thanks Amanda!
Lisa
So cool!! I don’t even know where I’d start – perhaps a wall decoration?
I don’t scrapbook, but I do make cards…and I would totally have a blast using this machine to do that!!
Wow what an amazing offer. I would love to try the glass etching. And of course I would have to make tattoos for the kiddos. (And maybe 1 or 2 for myself.)
Crossing my fingers…
Wow! Endless possibilities!!! thanks for hosting this giveaway!!
I would love to play with the iron on vinyl!! What a great giveaway!
So many things to create, love it! I would probably create some cutouts for home decor.
Scrapbooking pages!!! Most definitely!
The first thing I would probably do is put sayings on everything that would hold still! Thanks so much for the awesome chance to win!!
Wow- what a cool little machine! Great for so many things- thanks for sharing all the different photos for extra inspiration!
I would love to make those tattoos. We go to games almost everyday of the week. We could make shirts and wall sayings for our youth room at church.
This looks amazing! I would love it! A couple of years ago I inherited all of my grandparents’ photos and albums when they had to go into the nursing home. I am trying to get all of the photos out of shoeboxes and those magnetic sticky pages from the 1960′s albums and into scrapbooks. This would be a huge help in creating heritage pages!
ohhhhhhhhhhh, I REALLY REALLY want this. I am been redecorating lately and have been wanting to do projects that this would be perfect for. I really want to make some subway art, some vinyl wording for my laundry room, and some stuff for Halloween. Oh the things I could come up with if I only had me one of these! :)
Got to get my shop organized.
I’ve totally had my eye on this machine forever! What an awesome giveaway! The first thing I would make would be some vinyl home decor cut-outs for the fall season. I have also been wanting to make some t-shirt designs. So cool! Thanks for the opportunity!
I don’t even know where i’d start with a silhouette machine. Probably a Thank you card to send to you for hosting such a great giveaway :) PICK MEEE!!
Too cool for school! And that’s partly what I would use it for…labeling my kids’ stuff! I also like the wall decal ideas, it would be fun to do in my laundry room. :) Thanks Amanda!
This looks like such a neat tool! I would start by making my daughter a ton of cute shirts. :)
I would LOVE to try the temporary tattoos!!! I know my neice and nephew would love them also.
How neat is that! I would definitely like to try the etched glass and my son would love the temporary tattoos!
Thank you for the opportunity to win such a fun and useful machine.
Would love to add this to my “tool” box! With 3 girls the crafting never ends! Love the knife block idea!
I have been wanting a machine like this for a few years now, I just have been waiting for the right one to come around, thats awesome. I wanna get my craft on and make EVERYTHING!!
If I win I’m going to put words everywhere!
I think I would make the tatoos. Although I would probably have to wrestle my wife to get to use it.
ohhh, where to stzrt?! i think i would start thinking about Christmas presents; maybe a glass etched cooking pan, or some great vinyl lettering quotes! but i think my first thing would have to be a darling penant birthday banner…i have always thought those were the best! i’m crossing my fingers that i will be chosen :)
Oh, i’d love to win this machine!!!! It will make my life much easier and more fun! Thank you for this awesome giveaway!
I would love to have this for a variety of reasons….vinyl, scrapbooking!!! It would be oh so fun!!!
Wow! This would be used in my kindergarten classroom for decor, organization, crafts, holiday parties, endless possibilities! Teachers salary does not allow for this type of luxury so it would be like Christmas all year round! I need & want it so bad! Thank you so much for the opportunity!!!!
Wow, what a great giveaway; thank you for the chance. If I won I would make vinyl lettering for the walls in our house. Again, thanks Amanda!
Can’t tell you how much I wish I was a US resident to be able to enter. But I’m not. Boo hoo!!!!
Being a single mom of a 12 and 14 year old, I would label everything that didn’t move. It would be awesome to make tatoos for our checks to wear to my kid’s games and label all their school stuff.
I think it would be incredibly awesome to have one!
This looks awesome! I would love to make fun tshirts with that!
My mom is a BIG crafter and I am learning a few things from her. The etching is something I have never tried before and looks like you could make some cool things with it.
OMG, I have wanted one of these forever but haven’t let myself spend the money on myself. This would be such a cool prize to win!!
Wow! This machine looks amazing!! I would definitely try the etching! Everything looks so professional!
This would be an AMAZING addition to my scrapbooking room!!! I have a six month old daughter that I need to start albums for. And then there is a 1st birthday party to make decorations for, household organization, home office org, gosh I could go on and on! Thanks for this giveaway! Good luck to everyone!
Vinyl!! I would love to make labels with the vinyl!
I would try the etched glass! WOW, how fun would this be!
WOW! What an amazing machine. SS checks prohibit purchasing one but, if I won one I think I would start with the wall decor and then – ??? Looks like the possibilities are endless.
I would love to use this to do the glass etching (among so many other things!) This would be great to make some personalized christmas gifts!!! Thank you so much!
I would use it to make vinyl tattoos for my kids.
I really like the glass etching! That would be fabulous for all my glass pans!
I would make a bazillion cards. I never have a Thank You card or a Happy Birthday card when I need one. Thanks Amanda for offering this great giveaway!
