I have now used my Silhouette!
I resisted buying a cutter for a long, long time. I knew that I did not want something that would use cartridges since I am not great about using the same images over and over. Wanting a true work with the computer digital cutter, I waited and waited.
For Mother's Day/National Scrapbooking Day (it is TOO a holiday worthy of gifts) I got the fabulous Silhoette SD. And loaded the software in it the same day. Unfortunately, I also downloaded a free digi kit with bonus virus the same day. A week later, the puter was clean, but the software needed reloading. And life got busy.
So I put it off.
Until CHA when I eagerly headed to the booth to figure out how to work the darling machine. Oh, and to order more supplies, of course. I had Lauren with me and she went nuts over the tshirts they had on display. Apparently, the heat transfer and bling applications were totally teen approved.
I loaded the software. Peeked around the site. Purchased some red vinyl and made letters for the magnet boards in my office. Cute and easy. Yay!
So I showed the kids the images and let each pick 2 along with 2 colors of heat transfer. And I made tshirts. And yes, dear friends, that means I ironed. Shhh! Don't tell Drew that I know how.
Zack, in typical boy fashion, chose a shield and a mythical creature. In total Zack fashion, he also wanted bling.
Allie created this darling caged heart design. I totally need to print this in paper for a card!
It is hard to see in this shot, but I added bling to the heart. She loves it! I cannot wait to start designing more!
