Silhouette SD Machine

A couple of weeks ago, several blogs had information and ideas about using  the Silhouette SD.  Included in these blogs was an opportunity to win one by leaving a comment and there was also special pricing.  Unfortunately, I did not win one but I did break down and purchase one.  Meredith, Kaitlyn and I had been wanting a Cricut forever but I never could bring myself to purchase one.

We had this fine machine for a few days and were enjoying it so much.  Somehow we managed to get a big paper jam, new-user error and then the machine didn't cut right.  I emailed support and they gave us a few suggestions to try, in the end we had damaged the blade with the paper jam.  Silhouette sent us a new blade at no charge, it just arrived and we have been happily creating.

I put some vinyl on my front door

Meredith made this card:

At the Silhouette Blog, there is a weekly free design, the flowers were from last week.  Isn't it so cute?

This is a great machine and I really like the fact you can connect it to your computer, use many different fonts for lettering, you can purchase a design at a time from Silhouette's online library, purchase heat transfer paper and create unique tshirts.
