I was extremely spoiled this year and got the Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. It was been such a fun and wonderful investment. Most of the gifts I have given since Christmas have been courtesy of Cameo. (Note: most of these projects have been things I've seen, liked, and tried to recreate.) I hope to learn to be more crafty and come up with cute projects on my own! Until then, I'll keep borrowing ideas. Don't be too surprised if you get a gift very similar to those shown. My crafty brain doesn't stretch very far.. :)
If you are a super crafty person, these next photos will not impress you, but they make me happy. :)

| Fun vinyl for the top of the kitchen aid. |

| This is my little 'seasons' shelf. It always hold the seasonal decor since there are few surfaces to put it on here. I bought the candle holders at Kohl's before Christmas on clearance for about $5 each, I got the candles at Hobby Lobby (on clearance after Christmas) for $0.60 each and then cut the heart things out of white vinyl and stuck it on. I got the silver charger from hobby lobby and slapped some vinyl on it. The random tinsel stuff is from the dollar store, and I cut the banner out with the silhouette. |

| Here is my Valentines subway art. This frame was a wedding gift, but it was gold. I really do not like the color gold... at all. Not even jewelry. Anyway, it had some really pretty detail, so I primed it, painted it, and distressed the edges and pattern a bit with some sand paper. I had to put 2 pieces of paper together to fit, and I cut the white vinyl out with the silhouette :D |

| I made this for part of Darcy's bridal shower gift. (She gave me something VERY similar for my bridal shower :D) |
 |
| I made this for Summer.. I forgot to take a picture after- I put a red O on top since the white didn't stand out very well. |
 |
| Here is the edge of the frame. The 'distressing' just looks like light glare.. |

I hope that I will improve in my crafting skills and look back on this and laugh at how pathetic I was. (I'm still not good at watch bands, but I think I have improved SIGNIFICANTLY since I started. :)) Any suggestions or crafty secrets are welcome. |
