Thank you for stopping by. I had this em...Nadine,<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by. I had this email written out to you and then I noticed you’re a “No Reply Blogger” : ( <br /><br />YES! It is worth it! <br /><br />Sometimes I do things the hard way… LOL… but even so it is worth it.<br />I have never used a Cricut or any other machine… but I didn’t like that you had to buy those expensive cartridges. <br />I *LOVE* that you can download from Silhouette so many different shapes.<br />They have a free shape they post every Tuesday. I ALWAYS get those, even if I don’t think I’ll ever use it… heck it’s free! : )<br /><br />I would go for the Cameo if I had the choice. They have a new smaller one out. I’m thinking, “Why?” <br /><br />Depending on what you’re going to use it for… the vinyl can get a bit expensive. So always watch for sales. I can get you places to buy besides Silhouette if you’re interested. You can also use contact paper for many things, as in the stencil I did on the "Silhouette Welcome!" <br /><br />I just made Halloween cards for my step-mother-in-law and my husband’s granny’s (both nearly 100!) I don’t have it posted yet (look for it on Monday!) They are SO CUTE!! And… I used the Silhouette for those. <br /><br />I would DEFINITELY sign up for the Silhouette blog emails; http://blog.silhouetteamerica.com/. I don’t keep all of them, but… I do keep most of them. They quite often give hints, tips, and suggestions for how to do different things. <br /><br />You can easily find answers doing a search on the net.<br />There are several YouTube videos out there as well.<br />If you have any questions I would be happy to help you out. <br /><br />Only… next time, please leave your email address.<br /><br />Thanx!<br />Toqua <br />Toqua's Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914178334225158203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089757266836309161.post-1408784108240100182012-10-09T10:25:21.403-07:002012-10-09T10:25:21.403-07:00Thinking about taking the plunge and buying a Silh...Thinking about taking the plunge and buying a Silhouette...now that you've had it for a while was it worth it?

But since your sign was "wood" you couldn't do that but found a GREAT solution.<br />Super job Toqua! <br />I'm not sure what's a good way for "no bleed". Unless we use paper and then spray it with adhesive. hmmmm You are right though vinyl is too expensive for a stencil. UNLESS you saved the positive part of the cutout for another sign, and then used the negative for the stencil.<br />have a great weekend girl!<br />gailgail@My Repurposed Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169865526245609703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089757266836309161.post-41831899130367295482011-06-03T02:43:34.048-07:002011-06-03T02:43:34.048-07:00I LOVE the new sign!

It makes the sign so distinctive and very much a part of your house.<br /><br />With love, <br />Your sister, MartyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
