We are very excited! We have a Silhouette Digital Cutting Machine to give away to one lucky Prudent Baby reader!

But when the ladies at How Does She? contacted us on Silhouette's behalf about doing a giveaway and promised a Silhouette for us (well, one of us, thanks Jaime!) and a Silhouette for you (well, one of you) how could we say no?!? If I didn't like it... I could just send it back and never speak of it again. Well, let me tell you, I like it. I like it very much. And I've only just begun!
So far, my projects are simple, using the templates that come with the starter kit, but I'm totally smitten and ready to try more! Maybe even some scrapbooking!

Here is a gift tag that I made with some cardstock!


And here is a little pillow-box that I made with more of my favorite Martha Stewart Craft Paper

What do I want to make with Silhouette?! What DON'T I want to make?!! I think it could very easily become my new best friend (sorry, Laura, if you're reading this!) I want to make custom clothing, I've been dying to try vinyl for my four sweet boys rooms (although they'd probably want me to create gross bodily function words for their walls, yea, that's how boys are). And tattoos?! I don't have any real ones, but would love to spice things up now and then with a temporary one, and I almost always include tattoos in party goody bags. How cool would custom ones be? Ooh!! I just saw magnet paper. I'd love to do custom magnets for my husband's family to go with their reusable grocery totes for Christmas. And how great would that be for teacher gifts?! And I LOVE the cupcake wrappers, too. Everyone would be in awe of my craftiness, until they met my new best friend and realized that they could be a craft goddess, too!

I love the temporary tattoos, although that's probably not what I'd use it for. I would probably use it for scrapbooking and for card making (although less of the second because I'm not very good at sending cards, but I would ilke to be).

I'm loving the custom apparel. The first thing I would do is use the rhinestone template to make shirts for my twins. They would say, "Yes, we're twins", and "No, we're not identical". That would save me a lot of time when I run errands. :)

I'm not a scrap-booker either but I have been wanting this for a while now. I love that I could use my own designs as cutouts and the price of their own templates can't be beat!

Pretty, pretty please, prudent baby pick ME!! With a little Silhouette I would officially be Super (Working) Mommy! I love to create for my kiddos (3yrs and 2yrs), but working full time and then caring for and playing with them when I'm home really limits my craft-y time. Right now I have to cut everything by hand, but with a handy-dandy Silhouette I wouldn't anymore! The very first thing I would make is a darling T-shirt for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She's having a pony party (or mongies as she calls them) and I haven't found any cute pony shirts for her! But the pony shirt would just be the beginning... ;)
