I was so excited when I was contacted by Silhouette to try out their Limited Edition 2012 Advent Calendar. It came in the mail when my daughter was in the hospital so I didn’t get around to taking it out and putting it all together until just yesterday. Better late than never, right? Included in the kit is the frame (totally versatile – can’t wait to use it for other things throughout the year), the metal clips and a download card for a bunch of neat little shapes that you can use to help customize it. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out all of the shapes. I found adorable chevron mittens in the Silhouette online store that I couldn’t resist. I tried to pick out about 5 different designs and just rotated them throughout the frame. I used my Cameo to cut out the red … [Read more...]

Silhouette Cameo {and Pennant Banner Project}-
We interrupt this party to bring you some amazing news. The Silhouette Cameo has arrived! Mine arrived last night and she and I got acquainted pret-ty quickly! What is a Silhouette Cameo you say? It’s Silhouette’s newest cutting machine. Different from the Silhouette SD, the Cameo accommodates paper and other media that are 12” wide as opposed to the SD’s 9”. AND, it will cut lengths up 10 FEET LONG. Awesomesauce! Thank you, Silhouette, for letting me test drive this bad boy! :)I’ve been really trying to make our house a home lately so I’ve been doing little decorating projects here and there. My 5 year old says to me, “Mommy, are you trying to make our house fancy?” lol I’ve been wanting to do a pennant banner for awhile and had some paper triangles cut out but … [Read more...]
Fun with Tattoos – June Silhouette Promotion
I kind of have a thing for temporary tattoos. It comes from my being on the fence about getting a real one so I'm drawn to the temporary ones when I want to feel daring. LOL I'm SO lame!Anyhow, I got the opportunity to try out the Temporary Tattoo Paper from Silhouette and had fun making some for my girls. With a crying baby and 2 older girls driving me a little crazy I never did get to make some cool ones for myself but I did manage to make some for my girls. Here they are sporting theirs: These pictures were taken this morning and yes, I did send my oldest to school that way. Does that make me a bad mom??I did run into a little bit of trouble with the Silhouette finding the registration marks after I had printed my designs out and had to feed the paper back into the Silhouette to cut … [Read more...]

Snag Some Silhouette Bling…..Sale!!!!!
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then this should come as no surprise to you that I had major, MAJOR Silhouette envy! Everyone seemed to be getting in on all the Silhouette promotions.............except Little 'ol Me. :( A few weeks ago I was having a meltdown (thanks pregnancy hormones!!) and was just having a bad afternoon when I got an email from Silhouette asking me if I'd be interested in trying out their machine and their Rhinestone Starter Kit. Ummm, HELLO???? Heck yeah!! lol To say I was over the moon about it would be an understatement.
