Have you had a chance to check out the Silhouette Cameo yet?

This amazing machine is most definitely at the top of my Christmas list and it’s the Pick of the Week on the Annex.

I had the chance to use a friend’s machine and I had so much fun coming up with fun ways to use it for some layouts…and it also made me want to just sit and play and figure out all of the other fun things I could use the machine for…cards, even more layouts, home decor projects.  The list could go on and on and on.

Here’s a layout I made…super simple, but it adds so much to the page:

I had some extra cardstock from another layout, so I thought why not?  I just measured how tall my photos were and figured out where I wanted the words and arrows to be.  The software for the Cameo is pretty easy to use, especially if you take some time to just try things out.

What’s on your wish list this year?

Well hey.

How’s summer treating you so far?  It’s been hot.  It’s kind chilly today.  But I guess that’s Minnesota for ya.

I think summer should be dubbed “party season” if it hasn’t been already.  It’s so much fun to be outside, fire up the grill, make some s’mores over a fire, eat watermelon til you’re sick…it’s just the perfect season to party.

So my Pin of the Week is really two pins, but it’s basically the same idea:

How cute are these!  Patterned paper around cans!  So easy and a great way to add a cute touch to an event or a gift!  The Pringles cans are pretty Christmas-y, but you could totally change up the paper to use as a birthday gift, a thank you gift, a party favor, you name it!

Happy Pinning (and stay tuned for a “pinspired” post later this week)!
