To start, I am making coordinating Christmas pj's for the kids (Oscar is pretty excited about it - can you tell?). For the fabric I used one of my favorite knits, Laguna Stretch Cotton Jersey. For patterns I used my fall-backs, Rae's Flashback Skinny Tee and altered Lil Blue Boo's Leggings.
The jammies are pretty cute just plain, but to make them even more festive I added a simple Christmas tree design using Silhouette's Flocked Heat Transfer material*. I love the heat transfer - it is easy to use, looks really professional, and lasts a long time! I made Jared a t-shirt with the heat transfer two Christmases ago, and it still looks great.
As you know, Black Friday will shortly be upon us, and Silhouette is gearing up for some amazing deals during their Black Friday Week (November 23rd-30th). I can't tell you what the discounts are yet, but if you've been waiting to buy, these are the best deals around. Stay tuned for Friday!
And now ... for the giveaway. Today I'm giving away the very new, very adorable (and more affordable), Silhouette Portrait!
See it in action at Silhouette America's YouTube channel, or check out the Cameo/Portrait side-by-side comparison.
- For a chance to win a Silhouette Portrait, simply leave a comment. Feel free to say anything, but I'd especially love to hear about how you'd use a Silhouette machine to create holiday gifts (we all need more ideas, right?).
- For one extra entry (for a total of 2 entries per person only), follow the Silhouette blog OR follow Silhouette's Pinterest boards, and then leave a separate comment telling my you've done so.
- Anonymous comments will be ignored. Please make sure I have a way of contacting you if you're the winner!
- This giveaway is open until midnight, November 22nd, and a winner will be chosen randomly and announced on Friday, November 23rd. The giveaway and Black Friday promotions are good only for US residents (so sorry, international friends!).
*disclosure: Silhouette provided the flocked heat transfer for my holiday pj project.

Ooooo...I would love to sew things for my little boys! Shirts and stuffed toys, mostly. I also saw a "road" on the top of an Ikea table once for little boys to drive their cars on...my 3-year-old would LOVE that!
Thank you for an awesome giveaway! I would use this for crafts, but especially for sewing for my granddaughter!
Take care!
I'd love a new silhouette machine! I'd surely be making some super cute Christmas cards!

I am going to use my silhouette to make Christmas artwork.
First, I am going to paint a blank canvas red.
Next, I am going to use my silhouette to cut-out basic Christmas shapes onto cardstock.
Next, I am going to lay the cut-out on my red canvas and paint over the cut-out with green.
Finally, I am going to a use silver (or gold) glitter pen to outline the shape.

I don't even know what I'd do. Maybe make some stencils for the walls of my daughter's room. She's had it to herself for two years but now her baby brother will be arriving in a few weeks, so we need to make it a little more masculine.
Every year we make X-mas ornaments instead of christmas cards. I make them by hand... all 100! I'd use the silhouette for that!
I would love too try my hand at using a silhouette and this new one looks like Los of fun!
I made t-shirts using freezer paper stencils last year... would be so much easier with one of these!
I have wanted a silhouette for ages! I would first use it for making advent calendars. After that, I could see using it for just about everything.
i've been wanting one of these forever!

I would love to win this Silhouette because my little boys and I LOVE to make greeting cards and other art projects for our family far away, place them in beautiful packages, and mail them off. We think it really brightens someone’s day when they receive a cheery package in the mail with a sweet sentiment ‘just because’. Right now, we use a lot of scrapbook paper and paper cutters, but the three of us would be OVER THE MOON if we won a Silhouette because it means we could take our ‘cheer spreading’ projects to the very next level! We live roughly 700 miles away from our family (and I’m a single mom!) so it’s a very important part of every week for us to let people know we are thinking about them in a beautiful way. Our recipients would be so grateful and impressed with our new projects if we won! (Especially grandma!) Thanks so much for the opportunity & happy holidays!!! mollmeier@gmail.com

I would love to use a Silhouette for So many projects!! But using the vinyl cuts outs to organize would be really fun!
I really don't know what I would make with the Silhouette because I've never even used one before. I don't know what it could do! But I'm sure I could come up with something spectacular!
There are so many things I want to do. But embellishing shirts for my girls would be first. And followed by some boy shirts in sports and superheros.
Awesome giveaway!
I use my silhouette for personalizing t-shirts and cutting gift tags, especially when I make little gift baskets. (i just posted about this today actually! everneveragain.com)
Thanks Jill, always good to see a post from you!
want!
I am actually finished with all of my Christmas presents, so I won't be making anything for Christmas. However, I would love to have one of these for my cheap but classy DIY wedding. This would help tremendously in the decorations department!!

I'm not sure what I'd make but I know it will be awesome.
