Silhouette Portrait giveaway @DIYShowOff

What is a Silhouette Portrait?

It’s an electronic cutting tool for personal use, similar to the Cameo but on a smaller scale. It’s like a home printer and it plugs into your computer with a simple USB cable. However, instead of printing it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and more up to 8 inches wide and 10 feet long. The machine also has the ability to register and cut printed materials.

See more details at Silhouette America. I seriously love my Silhouette. I use it all of the time, my favorite being vinyl stencils for DIY signs but for lots of other projects too {my Silhouette projects}.

DIY Project Parade

Welcome to another week of DIY! I’m guessing this week DIY will include cleaning, cooking and prepping for Thanksgiving for my US friends. It’s a busy week for me too. Baby girl’s 20th birthday, Thanksgiving and a giveaway tomorrow that you’re NOT going to want to miss. Someone is getting an early Christmas gift!

This past week, I turned an old thrift store framed art print into Thanksgiving decor with a sweet reminder to “give thanks”…

I also wanted to share about the Better Homes & Gardens – Get Cozy, Give Back event. Cozy blankets, snuggling…Lalka was more than happy to do her part. Submit photos to the BHG Live Better Facebook page. The more participants and cozy photos, the larger the contribution will be made to Children’s Miracle Network.
