Wondering what projects to tackle?

One of my passions is providing resources to help support new Silhouette users. I know the machine can be intimidating at first, but I can attest, it’s so worth exploring. And so, I’ve made it my mission to write my Silhouette tutorials with plenty of detail so that beginners feel equipped to take on new projects free of fear. In fact, it’s probably more detail than you would ever want to know {snicker snicker}.

I’ve compiled all of my tutorials in one page I call The Mother Lode of Silhouette Tips & Tutorials for Beginners, and it’s organized by both material and project type. So, it’ll be easy peasy for you to explore and fill up your “to make” list. Click HERE to dig in.

Wondering why I’m a goofball?

Because life is too short to take things too seriously.

To that end, I have not one, but two parody music videos related to my Silhouette machine in my YouTube video archives that you’re going to wanna watch. Yes, I even dared parodying Mariah Carey’s classic, “All I Want for Christmas is You.” #NeverGetsOld #PlayItAgainSam

So, if you need a smile, and perhaps an anthem to sing around the house until someone catches the hint and knows what to get you for Christmas…I’ve got ya covered:

"All I Want for Christmas is a Silhouette Cameo!" Mariah Carey Parody Music Video!
