You all know how much I love my Silhouette Cameo.  I talk about her all the time.  She is so purrrrtyy!  Her name is Cammie and she and I are BFF’s.  Like seriously.  When my friends come over to visit or to craft, I have to keep a close eye on Cammie because they all threaten to steal her from me!  She’s seriously that awesome!

Why would you want the designer edition of the software you ask?  Well let me tell you!  The designer edition has:

• guides and rulers to help with your placement and sizing
• supports .svg files types
• has advanced knife and eraser tools {that come in really handy when you are trying to make a design “Just perfect!”}
• ability to convert designs into rhinestone designs
• ability to convert designs into sketch designs
• eyedropper tool to transfer image properties
• adjustable pivot point.

For my shamrock banner that I hung on my front door, I used the sketch feature!  {Yes, I know…I put a banner on my door and not a wreath!  I am such a rebel!}  I used some clean line shamrock shapes and then converted them to sketch designs and used the sketch pens to put them on paper.  I cut out the scallops and the green backing circles and applied to burlap pennants.  A little hot glue with some ribbon and I was set!  To show you how awesome the sketch feature is…I made this little screencast with the full tutorial!  {I hope I don’t always sound so weird in real life!}
