I have the most exciting news for all of you. I have the privilege of giving away The Silhouette Portrait. Looks like Christmas is coming early this year!
They say good things come in small packages and they sure have that right. The Silhouette Portrait is an electronic cutting machine. It plugs into your PC or Mac, but instead of printing, you cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric or any other material. This is a teacher's dream! Finally being able to cut the letters in the font I want for my classroom. Take a look at how Lyndsey Kuster's mom used this machine to decorate the front of her desk. All I can say is WOW!
You can read all about it by clicking on the picture!
I am totally inspired by this and plan I to do something like this in my classroom too! The possibilities are endless.
These are some of the things I have created using my Silhouette. I am looking forward to the holiday so I can start to create more.
You can create custom glasses for your kids or even ornaments for Christmas!
Keep checking back because I have another surprise for you later in the week.

I would love to create gifts for my son's teachers! Pinterest here I come!
I would love to use the Silhouette Portrait in my classroom for classroom organization (binder covers, file covers, tub labels, library organization) and for classroom decorations (think of the bulletin board possibilities!). Also, it would be great for making shape books for my kindergarteners. Oh yes, it would be great for making gifts for my colleagues and my son's teachers! Really, the possibilities are endless...
This would be fantastic to display our schedule on our door! I teach in an lower economic area and I would love to embellish items for my precious students. The items would mean so much to them! The sheer accomplishment of making items such as yours would make me feel so wonderful. This would make decorating our room a breeze. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win. I have my fingers crossed!
I would love to have this to make my bulletin boards and posters pop with letters and cutouts!!

Think of the time that could be saved on cutting out shapes and letters for the classroom! And I would love to have one to use for doing some crafting for personal reasons.

My teaching partner had one and I have really grown to love all the creative things you can do with a Silhouette. I get my students clipboards for Christmas and I'd like to use the Silhouette to personalize them. I have my fingers crossed!
Diane
I have been wantinng one of these for personal and prifessional reasons. PersonLly, I would take my scrapbooking up a notch. Professionally, my centers, manipulatives and labels would have a facelift as just the beginning.
I teach at a PYP Academy and being able to be more creative with our "planner boards", which are very detailed and end up on every available surface by the end of the year would be A DREAM! There would be a line out the door of teacher friends wanting a turn to turn their boards into works of art, and I'm all about teamwork and sharing!
Wowee, wow, wow! I would use this in my classroom and at school to make everything pretty! I would also use it to make gifts for my friends and family! Great giveaway!

I would love to own this; however, I'm not sure my husband would like for me to. LOL! If I owned one I would create decorations for my classroom, personalize binders, center games, label centers, label tubs, create wall quotes for home and school. I would also create personalized items for my nephews and niece.
I would use it to label everything in my class, create engaging bulletin board sets and create things for coworkers!
I would love to win this. I would use it to give my classroom displays some pizzazz, to create some engaging classroom materials and to make some inspirational quotes for my room. Thank you!
I was just thinking about adding this to my Christmas list. For school purposes, I would use it for decorations in the room and name tags. For home purposes I would like to try the cutting vinyl to make gifts. Thanks for the opportunity!
So many uses for that! I would use it for bulletin boards, classroom windows, literacy station games etc. I would also personalize items for my home and of course my classroom.
I would use it to label containers in my classroom, to create bulletin boards, to make decorations for the walls, to make interactive charts, gameboards on the floor (hopscotch, tic-tac-tie - but with educational twists), etc. The possibilities are limitless!

This would be great for our Sunday School Classroom .Since we moved to New York a few months ago, there is no longer a school resource location where I can go and use their machine. It would be great to have one of our own, especially if we get snowed in like last week.:D
Bulletin boards, student centers and crafts, gifts for co-workers,friends and family, scrapbook accents for the student pages we make,.
Wow, I don't know. But want to try. Thanks for the giveaway.

My special needs students established their own school based crafting business last year. We partner with general education students and volunteers to craft items. We then hold sales in the school and community to raise money for our class. It is teaching them a great life skill. We could really use this machine! Sometimes we struggle with cutting and fine motor skills. This would allow us to increase production and the students would be trained on how to use the machine. Fingers crossed!
I would make words for my whiteboard and cut out shapes and game pieces for centers. I would also cut out vinyl letters to make ornaments for my students.
I have these random blank spaces in my room that I would love to put quotes in so I would use the Silhouette for that:)
The possibilities are endless. I would use this to decorate the classroom, use it with PBIS rubrics around the school, also it would definitely be a useful tool to help our 5th graders raise money for their 5th grade field trip to Myrtle Waves at the end of the school year. We try to raise enough money so that they do not have to pay to go there or somewhere for the whole day. Since it's their last year in elementary school, we want to give them some great memories!
Also, with our school being 98% free and reduced lunch population, we can raise funds to cover field trips that our students would normally not be able to pay for or take due to the high cost of fuel and admission.
This would be a HUGE asset for my classroom as well as my school!
I would use it for anchor charts, bulletin boards, and tons and tons of art projects!
The possibilities are endless for this amazing product! I would use it to label things in my classroom, make charts, and make personalized gifts. There is so much more, too! Thanks for offering a givewaway.
I would love to use this and create some Christmas presents for my 2nd graders <3
I would use this for bulletin boards and to add quotes to walls and windows. What a great giveaway.
I just saw one of these for the first time in person on Friday at JoAnn Fabrics and I almost slipped in the pile of drool. WANT soooo bad!!! I would use it to decorate my NEW bulletin board in the hallway and also to cut vinyl for LOTS of labeling!!!

The Silhouette is amazing! My friend has one, and has done countless crafts for me. I haven't been able to afford one, but would love to win one! A fun idea that I had was making beach pails with the decals of mermaids/dolphins on them with my daughter's names. They loved this for the beach at Cape Cod this summer! (I wish it was summer now...it has been a rough winter in Buffalo-and winter hasn't even begun yet!!) Thanks for a great giveaway!
Oh I would love to have one of these to use in my room. I could make all of kinds of new signs to organize things and make my room look a little fancy too!
Fingers crossed!
I would use it for bulletin boards, wall decor at my condo, and for creating quote gifts!!! If I don't win I might look into buying it anyway, because it sounds awesome!!!!

So many ideas running through my head... bulletin boards, door decorations, wall décor, locker decorations (our kinders have lockers). Thanks for opportunity!
Would this make me a happy Christmas Elf! My colleagues have all listed the myriad of ways I would use the silhouette! It would be amazing for the Fonts on bulletin boards alone. So expensive to keep buying new borders and letters. I would also use for anchor charts, book bins, graphic organizers, desk plates and 1,000's more. spiralkim@verizon.net
I would use it in my classroom.
mcteeka@telus.net
I would decorate the walls and halls, the desks and doors, make gifts, decorate the windows! My ideas are endless, I want it! Pick me, pick me!!!
