7 Stacey Gillman June 25, 2010 at 4:12 am

My son plays soccer all the time so I love the new soccer shapes they just released. These would look so good on layouts with pics of his games.

The lettering options would be great for doing some faux vintage signs.

17 Kelli June 25, 2010 at 8:30 am

Okay, I’ve never replied to a giveaway before but I’d Love, Love, Love to have a Silhouette. I’ve been looking at one of the “other” cutting machines and really wasn’t impressed by the fact that I would have to purchase and store all those cartridges – YUCK!!! It’ looks like the Silhouette is read to go with just my computer. My favorite download is the “Welcome” in all the cute fonts for my front door. I’m trying to be crafty and improve the curb appeal of my house, and I love that the Silhouette will work for that too. There are so many projects I could finally complete with the Silhouette, so…..PLEASE pick me!!!

18 Jessica Dietz June 25, 2010 at 8:40 am

29 AHR June 25, 2010 at 10:54 am

Wahoo, this Silhouette looks ridiculously awesome! First I’d pee in my pants if I won, then I’d make some cute gift boxes and cupcake holders and play with fonts and think of supercrafty projects to do with the youth. Ahhh, I’m salivating!

30 Julia Hanson June 25, 2010 at 10:55 am

I LOVE IT!!! I don’t think I can live without this now!!! My mind is racing with all the things I could do with it!!

94 Tiffany June 26, 2010 at 12:24 pm

I love the scallop egdes you can do on paper (and the other things you can do the edges of the paper). I am in a card group and this would be so much fun to do!

Did I mention we have a thing for trains around here currently?!

100 Lindsey June 26, 2010 at 2:08 pm

I would LOVE to be able to give my mom a Silhouette for her upcoming birthday! She’s a scrapbooker and beach lover, so her favorite download would be either anything Heidi Swapp or a palm tree. Thanks!
