Wait...What Happened to the Ultimate Silhouette Sticker Guide?!
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
And just like that the Ultimate Silhouette Sticker Guide is gone...kinda. But not really. After a lot of thought we've decided to re-brand my second full-length ebook with a new title and some additional content.
You see the "sticker" reference just wasn't doing this48 54 page ebook justice. After all, stickers are print and cut, but not every Silhouette user who does print and cut wants to make stickers. We thought the title of this Silhouette guide was not making it obvious to those
who might be interested in other forms of print and cut that this is the
ebook for them, too!

The Ultimate Silhouette Guide eBook - 15 Page Free Update Now Available
Tuesday, April 12, 2016
Tomorrow I'm headed to Salt Lake City for the three day blogging conference, Snap!. I'll not only be attending sessions on everything from winning the social media game to being an organized, efficient blogger to how use a scroll saw (with Silhouette!) (gotta love Virgina Fynes of Fynes Designs)...but also speaking as a presenter. Myself, alongside Abby from Just a Girl and her Blog and Dawn Nicole from By Dawn Nicole will be speaking to a large group of bloggers and influencers on writing and marketing ebooks.
Apparently they think I have something insightful to say about writing ebooks, despite the fact that I only put my first one out about a year ago. In that year a lot has happened in the Silhouette world...there've been a few updates in the Silhouette software and a new mobile app has launched. Those changes have lead me to write a 15 page free update to my original ebook The Ultimate Silhouette Guide.
13,000 Thank You's...The Ultimate Silhouette Guide 1st Anniversary
Sunday, March 13, 2016
I will never forget March 13, 2015. A year ago today everything changed for me and my blog, Silhouette School. I was
no longer soley a blogger, I was now a self-published author and and a small business owner.
I remember a few days prior to Release Day I was talking with my husband. We thought we'd be thrilled if 800 people bought The Ultimate Silhouette Guide. I thought, "Wow, what if that many people actually cared enough about what I had to say - about a craft machine, no less - that they actually spent their hard-earned for the information I was sharing."
So as I sat on my couch, exactly a year ago today around 2:20 in the afternoon, with a GIANT knot in my stomach, a lump in my throat and palms so sweaty I could barely press 'Publish', I had no idea how much was about to change. Life, blogging, business, opportunities...
Within seconds...literally seconds... I was brought to tears. My email went 'ding' and I was notified of my first sale. I can't remember the name of the first lady who bought my first ebook, but my gosh at that second I wanted to reach through the computer and give her a HUGE hug. She believed in me and the feeling was like nothing I'd ever felt.
I had literally spent months - endured shingles, a wrist injury, publishing delays, the regular grinds of motherhood, and the stress of being a full time blogger and small business owner - writing this book. It really did feel like I birthed my third baby.

The Ultimate Silhouette Sticker Guide ebook - It's (Officially) Release Day and a GIVEAWAY!
Monday, December 7, 2015
I don't know if you've heard the news or not but I released a new ebook - never did I think I would write three ebooks in one year...but ya know writing and blogging and creating and life planning happens and I can't stop, won't stop as long as there's Silhouetting to do.
Seriously though Friday was supposed to be the soft release of The Ultimate Silhouette Sticker Guide, but since then more than 950 copies have sold already - soft-schmoft! You guys are HARD CORE and I LOVE IT!! It's pretty unbelievable considering, until now, I hadn't even announced the release of the Sticker guide on the blog!

New Silhouette School booklet..and More Exciting Stuff is Happening
Thursday, October 15, 2015
So from time to time I like to take a pause from the Silhouette tutorials, tips and tricks to get a little more personal here on Silhouette School. Now is one of those times. I might be a little excited...don't even judge my overly-excited-selfie face and jazz hand! (Look mom no hands and I still took a selfie...tricky, eh!)
As some of you know - I am in the process of closing my Etsy shop. A big reason for that is the direction in which Silhouette School is going. Have no fear the blog and social media outlets aren't going anywhere - if anything they're only going to grow and be even more awesome!
I keep telling you there's lot of big stuff happening behind the scenes and I'm thrilled to finally be able to share at least one or two of those 'things' with you.

The Ultimate Silhouette Guide - Now Available in Paper Back
Tuesday, June 23, 2015
In the months since March 2015 when I launched 'The Ultimate Silhouette Guide' I have had a lot of requests for what many have called referred to as the 'Silhouette CAMEO Dummies book', to be issued in paper back in addition to the original ebook version.
The paper back copy of the book has only been slightly modified from the digital version - things like clickable links and an interactive table of contents have been removed - for obvious reasons. Everything else remains the same.
However, while "The Ultimate Silhouette Guide" is now available in paper back, I am really still encouraging Silhouette users to consider the ebook version for several reasons:
- Due to things such as mass printing and distribution costs (which are non existent with an ebook version) the paper back is being sold at a slightly higher price point of $33.99.
- Also, again due to complications that don't come into play with the digital ebook version, the paper back copy can't be updated nearly as frequently or as easily. So when significant enough changes occur to the Silhouette machine and/or software, such as the software changes and updates expected later this year, I will write an appendix to the ebook. Unfortunately, these updates won't be available to those with the paperback version.
"Thank
you so much for all your hard work. Silhouette School is awesome and
so is the book. Silhouette ought to buy your book and include it with
every Silhouette Cameo!!!!" - Rita
"It is so easy to understand when reading it. You have changed the crafter's world of Silhouette cutting with this book. Thank you." - Angie
"...BUY the EBOOK best $27.99 you will spend. I wasted more
money in material messing things up before The Silhouette School became
my BFF." - Michele
"I just bought this book this morning and I thought I was pretty good at my machine. Oh my....I've already learned even more. You can not go wrong! Buy this book. I can't believe everything you have put in this book!" - Kim
"Melissa, you are a godsend! Finally everything is in one place, easy to find and easy to understand instead of on a gazillion notes scattered around my craft room. I know I'll be using my Sil a lot more now. Thank you so much!"

The Ultimate Silhouette Guide: Book News, Free Updates & Free Chapter (Limited Time!)
Tuesday, June 16, 2015
For one thing, I've been getting lots of questions so today I thought I'd answers the most FAQ:
Will 'The Ultimate Silhouette Guide' be updated?
Yes! When significant enough changes occur to the Silhouette machine and/or software, such as the software changes and updates expected later this year, I will write an appendix to the ebook.
It will be offered as a free downloadable PDF file, like the ebook, to anyone who has purchased the digital version of the 'The Ultimate Silhouette Guide'. When it becomes available, an update will automatically be sent as a free download link to the email address or paypal email used at the time of purchase. I will post an update on the blog announcing the release of an update.
Is 'The Ultimate Silhouette Guide' only available as an ebook?
At the moment, yes. However, you can have it printed and bound (Need a print consent? Just ask!) and you can also read it on an iPad.
Will the book ever be released in hard copy?

Monday, March 16, 2015
_________
It's finally here...it's finally here!!! I am finally ready to share my third baby with you: "The Ultimate Silhouette Guide: Tutorials, Tips and Troubleshooting (to get the most out of your machine)".
For months and months and months I've been plugging away on the ebook, what you might consider the 'Silhouette CAMEO Dummies book' and I know so many have of you have waited so long for the ebook. Shingles, wrist injuries, the blog, a growing Etsy business and everyday life as a work at home mom delayed the release by more than three months, but today I could not be more ecstatic to finally say it's officially on SALE!!!
The nine day pre-order period left me completely floored and humbled to say the least. I have poured so much time, knowledge, and love into this book and for nearly 700 copies to sell on pre-order is so overwhelming it brought me to tears. I cannot fully put into words how much your trust in me and loyalty to Silhouette School means. It's truly overwhelming and I thank each and everyone of you who have ever read a tutorial, shared a post, tagged a friend and ordered The Ultimate Silhouette Guide from the bottom of my heart!!!
If you are one of those who ordered (THANK YOU!!!), please check your email (and spam folders) for the digital download link...it was sent out last night!

- Four pages of detailed labels and descriptions of all tool bar buttons and icons in Silhouette Studio

- I’ll share a little known FREE commercial-use script monogram font that can be used for commercial use - a tip I’ve never revealed until now
- An in depth section on the absolute best way to organize your Silhouette Studio library using keywords, categories and folders
- A glossary of Silhouette 'lingo' so you have a firm understanding of the terminology
