Happy Monday!!!
So you may or may not have heard the buzz surrounding the new Silhouette Portrait. If you havent it goes a little like this. Silhouette (the MASTER of all cutting machines) has just launched a brand new machine! Meet the Portrait:
The Silhouette Portraitโข is an electronic cutting tool for personal use. Like a home printer, it plugs into your PC or Macยฎ with a simple USB cable.

The machine also has the ability to register and cut printed materials. You can cut any image or font on your computer, no cartridges necessary.
So here is the best part of todays post. I am giving one away to one lucky reader!!! All you need to do is enter the Rafflecopter below.
THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE:
- Silhouette Portraitโข electronic cutting tool
