25 Days of Christmas ~ Make a Banner

So guess what I've been doing? Well ok, I did kind of give it away with the post title up there didn't I? But guess how I made the banner? !  Black Friday found me comfortably ensconced in my jam jam's not getting run over and abused by hoards of shoppers at the height of their good will toward men. Oh no, I was home ordering one of these , a silhouette cameo bundle. Actually, you can still get close to the the deal I got which is the whole kit and caboodle that you need for this for $129.99, (it's usually $286.93). It came with $35 worth of gift cards to spend on designs, and at 50 cents to $2 each, that buys a lot of stuff! No silhouette isn't sponsoring this :>( but I thought if you wanted a fun toy to add to your list, this is a cool thing.
UPS delivered it today.  I hate reading directions, but I did it anyway and I was up and running within about 30 minutes. Look how fun! There are tons of designs and I can tell I am going to get a lot of use out of this, and I'm not even a scrapbooker.  At any rate, I know it isn't a Pinterest worthy photo (sniff), but I had to let you know. If a silhouette machine has been on your dream list, now is the time to go for it.
Does anyone else have one of these? What do you think of it?

  3. I LOVE your banner. Actually I love banners and always have one or two or three hanging in my house. So interesting you got a Silhouette. I have a Cricut and wish like everything I would have gotten a Silhouette instead. Didn't do my research good enough. I hope we see lots of projects on this blog with Silhouette projects. Is that an exact cut file or did you have to weld and do all sorts of stuff to make the words and snowflakes together like that? You really done good to already have a banner to show us when the machine only came today!!
