Card Trades from the 08-03-13 Downline Meeting...

This last weekend we had a Fun Stampers Journey Downline Meeting and these are the fantastic trades that the Coaches created and shared with the group...

This was created by J. Ward, love all of the Journey Dust..

This was created by April Peel, She used a Spellbinders die cut for the label holder; also, you can't see it in this picture but the portion that you open and write your messages is the center portion behind the music notes...

This card was created by Anita Ramirez, this card used a blending technique on the back ground... love these colors...

This was created by Terry Helin and she used Spellbinders labels... just love the jewels added to the chandelier...

This was created by Lisa Hopwood... she did this great background with ink and a cloud cutout... also, you can't see it well in the picture but the balloons themselves are three dimensional as she used Journey Glaze to give the card some shine and depth...

This ward was created by S. Ward... she used a masking technique to get this cool look...

This card was created by Kay Cabral... this is such a great card, love how she showed the roses three different ways... fantastic card...

This card was created by Juli Wiley and yup that is a brown paper bag on her card... what a great idea right...

Well, that is all of the cards that we crated and shared... everyone did a wonderful job and now we can share these looks with our customers...

be safe and remember..... Keep Calm and Journey On.....!!!
