It's here!

We got the PI today. I took it out of the box, put it on the table and went for the instructions.
It comes with a book of instructions/tutorials, but I was too excited to read it all, so, I read the very basic and hooked it up to the laptop.

I installed the software, read a bit more, put the embossing tool in, put some paper on the embossing mat and went on the web to find a triangular grid.

I created a grid using this website, downloaded a pdf, copied and pasted it into the PI software. Now, all I had to do is vectorize it and emboss it.
Well, after 4+ hours, a huge headache, countless freezes of the software and a urge to throw everything out, I quit.

When J got home we came to the conclusion that I was asking to much from the software. Even though the grid is only straight lines, there are way too many of those. We came to the conclusion that we could achieve the same result by placing tiny triangles side by side. I was done with it for the day, so J did it.
We did get a grid, though the triangle approach is counter-productive - he came up with a simpler, more efficient method later.

By the time we had a grid in hands it was around 10:00 p.m.. The paper had been sitting on the mat since somewhere around noon. When I peeled it of the mat, some of the sticky thing from the mat was attached to the paper. :P

Lesson of the day: Do not let the paper sit on the mat for too long.
