Oh my gosh; I'm SO excited today, 'cuz I finally have PICTURES to show you!  It's not really as if I have had nothing to share, and certainly not that I haven't had the desire, but I've just not had the time to do all the behind-the-scenes photo stuff that goes along with *getting* these images from the actual thing – into the image that you see here.  But Carolyn S. took a load of my samples out of here the other day (bless you, Carolyn, I am SO grateful!) and returned them yesterday along with a CD of 75 pictures she had shot!  So this afternoon I've been working away with my photo editting software (which a full year later I have to admit I'm still only a novice at), and voila!  I actually have a photo ready to post! 

Well, actually, I have quite a few, but we need to ease into this gradually, don'tcha think?  'Cuz we wouldn't want anyone getting tooooo excited now, would we?

So because I'm featuring the Big Shot for Stampin' Up! at my Open House in a couple of days I figured that seemed a reasonable place to start.  So here's one of the very first projects I did with my Big Shot – all done with Stampin' Up!® exclusive dies and misc. scraps of cardstock I had lying around.  Oh!  And I think there was a circle punch or two involved, too. 

So aren't you impressed?!?  Lynda got a sample posted!
