We are often asked why we've chosen to craft with Silhouette machines (versus a Cricut or other brand), and our honest answer is that it has proved itself to be the best over and over, regardless of what we put it through! From the Silhouette Design Store that is packed with inspiration and designs for making everything you can think of, to the slick interface of the Silhouette Studio design software, to the ease of setup, to the availability of customer support when you get stuck and FINALLY, to the results that our CAMEO has given us time after time, it's SO good. So today we are sharing all things Silhouette 101 and giving you a little intro into this magic machine and help you get it out of the box and making your own magic.

Now we are complete die-hard Silhouette loyalists who love to make things with our Silhouette machine(s) every chance we get and who love to bring others into the Silhouette fold because guys, it's the place to BE.Р вЂќР вЂћnd while we own and love a couple different Silhouette machines, the holy grail has to be the Silhouette CAMEO 4. That box of magic took us from casual crafters to obsessive makers with a full-blown craft blog because the possibilities for creating blew open and could no longer be contained on this little spot on the internet. However, that all changed the day we got our hands on our first Silhouette machine. When we first started our blog we dabbled in making crafts here and there, posting projects sporadically when we made something decent.
