My Newest Toy

Some of my favorite crafting blogs have been featuring this tool lately, and I must admit, It was love at first sight.  So I debated and hummed & hawwed, and talked my self out of it a million times, and tried to justify it again, (and entered a few giveaways) and finally broke down and bought it.

"It" is this:

It's called a silhouette.  For those who are unfamiliar (like I was), it's very similar to a cricut, only instead of cartridges, all of the design is run from your computer.  Very cool, it cuts paper (obviously), vellum, cardstock, etc. and my personal favorite - vinyl.  I'm a bit of a vinyl junkie, so the ability to cut my own designs, from the comfort of my couch, was too much for me to pass up.

By the way, I know this sounds like an infomercial, but I promise it's not.  I just really love this toy.  (and they're not paying me to say that)

Anyway, here is a sneak peek at a few of the projects that I've done so far.

As you can see, I've been having fun with it, and you will probably be seeing a lot more soon.

Have a great day, and thanks for reading.
