AND....I'm BACK!

AH!  Convention was AWESOME and exactly the boost I need to get going again.  Over the next few days, I'll be sharing things from Convention, but I really want to start again with the regular posting projects on the blog again.  The summer has been a wonderful one spent with my family.  After attending Convention, I'm ready to create again.  Since today is Big Shot project day, it seems only appropriate that I share one of my swaps I made at Convention.  Wouldn't you know it that I forgot to take a picture of it before I left so you get the view through the clear envelope.

Just keepin' it real!  I created this card with this card in mind.  I loved this dress in the Bermuda Bay color!  Order your supplies here.
