I got me Silhouette for my birthday and just in time to use it to make all my Christmas cards. I loved how they turned out but the very best of all is using it to write words so that I no longer have to labour long hours with a craft knife resulting in cramped hands and aching shoulders.

I love cutting out small embellishments, like arrows and hearts, that I can use for multiple projects.
