Cutting Vinyl with my Silhouette

It's hard to find time to do my own projects but I was determined to mark one of my "to do" list the other day.  I have been wanting to cut out something (anything) for the back window of my van.  I wanted something personalized and cute.

And here's what I got.  (Jeff said it reminds him of a tramp stamp - haha)

Birthday and Mother's Day gifts

Needed a fun idea for a birthday and for mother's day from a little boy. Here is what I came up with using my silhouette to cut the vinyl with. Very simple once I got the idea.

Name Blocks

My sisters and I made Name blocks a couple of years ago during a girl's weekend. This is the BEFORE picture:

And this is the AFTER picture. I recently updated them by removing the previous vinyl lettering and adding scrapbook paper. They are great for teacher's gifts as seen below:or for friends:

Magnetic Board

We made these for a Super Saturday. We have a place here in town that is great about cutting the sheet metal for us crafters. We had them "fold" over the edges on this one and punch the holes for the ribbon. Last time I checked, it was $6.50 for a 12x12 piece with edges folded and holes punched. Then we just added some vinyl lettering to the bottom. I found these cute wooden pieces already painted at Roberts. I just glued a magnet to the back and i was DONE!!! Super easy and perfect for small children to have their own little magnetic board for pics.
