Well, um, that would be my downline and me!!
A few weeks back I hosted a catalog card swap with my downline to COPY any card in the catalog - EXACTLY as it is in the catalog. That involved going online & getting the recipe, and following it EXACTLY. That's what my email said....EXACTLY! By the time they read the email I'm sure they were all shaking their head & saying "she's a little weird, that upline of ours, we get it!!" LOL!
This brilliant idea wasn't mine, it came from Karen Duke - a Canadian Demo - that I met at Founder's Circle. She actually had the first card shown here (robots) & told me that she was making it for a swap. I fell in love with it and praised her wonderful talent. Then she smiled her sweet smile - and her eyes actually twinkle when she smiles!! - and said to me "I copied it from the catalog!" Then she told me all the details of hosting this swap with her downline and how they all love it! Thanks, Karen, you're brilliant!!!
So I offered the swap to my directs and "management" in my downline, and here are some of the cards that we decided to copy.
The first one "Lots of Bots" was the one I made, copied from Karen, who copied from the catalog.
The next one - the snowflake one "Best Wishes & More" - was copied by Melissa. You know I love snowflakes - and snowmen - so this one got special favors by me! (Melissa was teachers' pet for 1 minute!!)
The next one - the beach chair one "Peace Within" - was copied by Carol.... who said "I can't watercolor!" Well, just look at that STUNNING JOB she did!!! Then she said "I just copied the one in the catalog". HELLO!! That was the name of the game!! LOL!! Gorgeous!!
And the last one here - Frankenstein "Batty for You" - was copied by Sandy. I love him!! Good copy job, Sandy!!
And this last one, the drinks one from "Cheers to You", was copied by Sarah. hmm...she's been using this set a lot lately, I wonder if we need to have a talk?!! hahaha!!
I have to admit, we ALL had so much fun with this swap. And, these cards are SO MUCH PRETTIER IN PERSON THAN IN THE CATALOG!!! They are...seriously. As my father-in-law (bless his soul!!) used to say...."now this here is the truth!!" I love him!!
Come back tomorrow and I'll post more cards from this swap! In the meantime, pull out your own catalog and pick a card to copy. You can get the recipe online OR from your favorite demo. Make the card, and I think you, too, will be pleased with how beautiful these cards are in person!
Remember....CASE! Copy And Share Everything!!!
Happy Stamping!
