One of the dangers that comes along with using the Silhouette cutting machine is the desire to give everything your own personal touch.
Since learning how to cut vinyl with my Silhouette I have seen everything I own with new, fresh eyes. There’s possibility in everything!
The other day as I was reading a book on my Kindle I noticed how plain my cover was. It is a solid pink cover. I love it and it works great as a cover to protect my precious Kindle Fire, but I suddenly wanted to make it “mine”.
This was so easy with the Silhouette!!!
On the front I put a quote from Lori Whitlock, “So Many Books, So Little Time”. I love this…I could pretty much read all day every day, if only there was time for that. But, alas, I have many more responsibilities that I must attend to.
I wanted to put a fun monogram on the back and I found the cutest flower alpha to cut for that!
This was a quick and easy project and would be a great first project is you want to try out using vinyl with your Silhouette!
This post is a part of a super fun group posting event called The Silhouette Challenge, started by the lovely and creative Lauren of The Thinking Closet. Each month we’ll be posting a different project we made using our Silhouette cutting machine. This month I am joining four other bloggers in sharing our projects.

If you have a silhouette have you been bitten by the “I want to decorate and personalize every single thing I have” bug like I have?
What’s your favorite project you’ve done with your silhouette?
Lauren @ The Thinking Closet says
I really can relate to a lot of what you said about seeing the world anew now that you have a Silhouette. It just seems like the possibilities are endless!
Your Kindle Fire Cover looks amazing – – I can’t decide which side I like better: the quote or that fun flowery monogram. You really hit the ball outta the park with this one, Monica. Beautiful work!

I love how it turned out!

Such a great idea. There are definitely more things in my house that need to be personalized. Now where to start?

I think I’ll be putting my monogram on my iPad cover…thanks for the inspiration! Well, I put my monogram on anything that sits still long enough – can’t believe I never thought of my iPad case!
