Whew! ha! Today we are going to tackle question #12. :)

Just a little history on my cutting machine obsession. Yes, it’s an obsession for me! haha! ;) I firmly believe with the right tools you can do & create anything! I’m not the most creative or the most crafty person, but with my Silhouette and most recently, with my Cricut, I have created & can create amazing things. Annnnnd I know you can, too! Deciding which machine to purchase is a huge decision. These machines aren’t cheap! It really depends on what you what to make. Do you want to cut mostly vinyl? Fabric? Or are you a paper crafter? Taking all of this into account will help you decide which machine you feel would fit your needs the best. Today I am going to share my completely honest opinions are two amazing machines the Silhouette Cameo 3 and the brand new, Cricut Maker. Yes, they are BOTH amazing with their own pros and cons.

As you might of guessed, our final question is: How is the Cricut different from other cutting machines?

Just a warning if you buy a Silhouette….

Hello! It’s Friday! Yay! We have tons of fun things planned for this weekend & next. I thought I’d pop in really quick to warn you IF you are thinking about buying a Silhouette (remember this month’s promotion?) that it might keep you pretty busy! ha! ;) As you know I use mine all. the. time. Check out what I made with my Silhouette just this week alone!

My mom called earlier this week, & she said that she had seen a printable at ldsprintables.com that had her favorite scripture on it. She wanted to know if I could make a vinyl sign with the same scripture. Of course! ;) It took a little work to design it & weed all the vinyl….but I kind of love it. I hope she does too! ;)
