DISCLAIMER-I know I need to blog about Christmas still, but I can hardly contain my excitement, therefore I have to blog about something different tonight! :-)
I don’t know about you, but I love just about anything with a name or monogram on it! Well, I have a new found love that will do just that! Jen got a new Silhouette Cameo for Christmas and man is that thing fun! I NEED one too! The Silhouette site lists them for $299, but I see them on a few sites for $269. Gotta start saving my money!
Jen, Hayden, and I made a “quick” trip (as in didn’t open and close the joint in the same day) to Canton and got some great deals. Just about every booth had everything half off! We couldn’t wait to get home to get started on our projects!
What I love about the Silhouette is you can design anything you want on your computer and print it out! You don’t have to buy a cartridge for it and you can use any font you want! Also, you can buy numerous images for 99 cents each! I think it is a little more expensive than the Cricut, but seems to really be a lot cheaper in the long run.
Today, we used the Silouette to put vinyl on everything we own. So, the first thing you do, is design your vinyl print on the computer. Another thing I love is that you pretty much don’t waste any space/vinyl!
Then, you get to cutting!! Are you ready to see some of our projects?
We got these desks at Hobby Lobby. They are $6.99 and we used a 40% coupon of course! I am so in love with how Hayden’s turned out! To our friends with birthdays coming up, don’t be surprised if you get one of these! ;-) We bought the truck image for 99 cents and cut out a blue one and a green one, then just used each other’s for the accent color.
I got two huge signs today at Canton for 50% off. They are about 2ftx2ft. Before and after…
Are you as excited as me?? The letters of our last name are about 5-6 inches tall.
Cute ornaments for next year…
Picture fame…
Christmas Plate…
We have more projects in the works for tomorrow! Stay Tuned!
