One of my favorite ways to use my Silhouette Cameo is to make custom apparel. I love that I can design any image or expression I can imagine and turn it into something to wear. One of my first projects was this hilarious baby bib, which has turned into something that I make for every baby shower I'm invited to! I also like to create shirts for the holidays, like this retro Pepe Le Pew "love stinks" valentine shirt. Sports, however, get a lot of attention in my house, and I've made many … [Read more...]

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I've always loved books. As a child, I would spend hours in the library reading. I don't get to read as often as I wish I could anymore, but literature has made a strong impact on my life. One of my son's names, Christian, was inspired by my fascination with tales by Hans Christian Andersen. Another, who goes by the nickname Max, is a nod to my favorite childhood book, Where the Wild Things Are. I hope that I can inspire all four of my children to escape and dream in books the way I used … [Read more...]

Pac-Man Family Car Decals DIY
I finally caved and bought a "new" car to replace my 11 year old ride. That meant I needed new vinyl stickers for my car! The first set I ever made was when I first got my Silhouette cutting machine, and I was expecting child #4. I bought a pre-designed set that was cute but common. Since then, I've been designing my own. I love retro and "old school" pop imagery, so I turned to my favorite arcade game for my inspiration. Since I have 4 kids it seemed like a no-brainer to make Pac-Man family … [Read more...]
