Silhouetting the Silhouettes

I was using my Silhouette machine like crazy when I was getting ready for Elise's birthday party but haven't really played with it since.  I am SO not a graphic designer so it is hard for me to "create" things sometimes but when I get my ideas rolling I really love it.  

One thing that I am wanting to do is redo a special wall in my living room.  We have this one middle wall that doesn't have much because we have a little girl that reaches up and pulls everything off.... I wonder who that is?  So far we have a very generic print (in a cheap ugly frame) that we bought at Kirklands when we first moved in that was supposed to be a temporary fix.  Well it was just forgotten about and I was always working on other things... anyway! It's time for some new decorating and that ugly picture is out!  am REALLY wanting to do a silhouette Wall.  Actual silhouettes, not the crafting machine!  But I am going to use the machine to make said silhouettes.  This is what I am picturing:

Found on http://papernstitchblog.com/2010/08/10/tutorial-framed-fabric-silhouettes/

Similar to this but I am thinking all different frames and a damask background maybe.  Our wall is actually the same color as this one.   Then there will be the fun in finding what I can put on the long table that a little lady cannot get to.  I am thinking I need a trip to Cost Plus World Market this weekend! Yay!

So all I have to do is figure out how to cut these out on the machine... or I just go old school and print, trace & cut which means it could have been done already!
