This giveaway has CLOSED.
did ya make it through that loooOng title? i sure hope so!! because i have a real treat here for you today! i am reviewing the Silhouette SD digital cutting tool and 

sharing a rockin' project i made using my Silhouette SD AND  

GIVING AWAY A SILHOUETTE SD!! 

{$400 value!}

i have owned a Silhouette SD for about 1.5 years now. Davis gave it to me for our 5th anniversary. {thanks babe!}and let's just say, it's like my 3rd child... i heart my silhouette! {it's sitting next to me as i write this} as a crafter, i use it ALL the time. for all types of different projects from scrapbooking to home decor to cutting templates to making cards. 

E.V.E.R.Y.THING. 

it's like a crafter's righthand woman!  

{sigh. i'm a bit obsessed with my Silhouette}

the Silhouette cuts through paper and vinyl, and soon with a new product, be able to cut another material. {more details to come soon!} 

now i have to show off my latest project with my Silhouette.
check out my ridiculously *gorgeous* headboard! love love LOVE it! i cut the fab design with my beloved Silhouette using Silhouette's Premium White Vinyl which has stronger adhesive for indoor and outdoor use than the regular vinyl.
i have been wanting to do this to put a vinyl design on my headboard for ages, but didn't dare because i was worried the regular vinyl wouldn't stick well or withstand a 2yr old's little hands rubbing and scratching at it. BUT when Silhouette came out with the Premium Vinyl, i recently decided to give it a go..... and it works perfectly on my headboard! {yes, we put the Vinyl Design through strenuous testing, thanks to a very curious little 2 year old boy who lives here ;) and it passed with flying colors! the Premium Vinyl's adhesive is definitely a lot stronger than the regular vinyl. and little man was not able to scratch or peal any of it off. PHEW.

{no i did not make the yellow flower pillows, although i wish i did! i may try replicating them sometime though.}
in case you want to see the headboard before the vinyl:

you'll notice i am in the middle of redoing my Master Bedroom. {super excited about it! don't ya love the gray and yellow with my black bed frame?} more details and pics to come in a different post. and yes, i have more projects planned for my master bedroom using my Silhouette.

the Silhouette SD is a digital cutting tool that hooks up to your computer and works with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 and higher. so Mac users, it is compatible!  

reasons why i decided to go with a Silhouette versus other digital crafting tools:

• any font you have on your computer {i have like 1,000 fonts!} can be cut with the Silhouette right out of the box. FREE! you don't have to pay for any alphabetic cartridges. 
• you don't have to buy any cartridges for that matter. {or worry about losing them. or little people ruining them. ahem.}
• to get additional shapes and images, you simply download them at Silhouette's online store for 99 cents each. no need to pay for unneeded designs!
• create your own design and shapes. i haven't done this much yet, but plan to.
