It is a wholesale trade show that is restricted to manufacutures, retailers, designers etc. It is a major show where companies like Clearsnap, Rubber Stampede, Plaid, Fiskars, Aileens etc. go to show their products and try to entice all of us poor, broke and totaly weak-willed vendors to buy their merchandise. And although we valiently try to resist, we usually fail and have to resort to putting COMMs on the list to help pay for all of it. LOL (hey, I'm not too far off the mark either!) Ann B.

Hints: Markers offer a wider color range than stamp pads, although pads are much faster. For darker color values, stamp repeatedly in and off line or upside down position. For lighter pattern coverage, use a marker at random to ink only a portion of the design. Keep a record of color combos that you discover and like. a,b, and c refer to one of the three sides of each cube. Two digit color codes are Marvy numbers. Gold Marble: Classic Green Marble: a. 68 daffodil or bright yellow a. 34 seafoam green b. 13 gold b. 04 green next SPONGE 35 peach at random c.. black for color accent c. 18 dark or brown Blue Marble: Dark Green Marble: a. 60 or baby blue a. 04 or med. to light green b. 03 or medium blue b. 25 or dark green c. black c. black The following use the PLAID texture cube. Pinky Plaid: a. 67 bubble gum or baby pink b. (opposite direction to a) 62 wisteria or lavender c. (in step a position) 71 or spring green Red Tartan Plaid: a. 02 or red b. (in opposite direction to a) 04 or green to finish, use side b again; this time stamp "off line" in 03 blue Cheery Yellow Plaid: begin by spongingly evenly with yellow, then a. 09 or hot pink b. 10 or bright blue c. 03 blue Bright Plaid: a. 05 or yellow b. (opposite direction to a) 09 or hot pink c. (same direction as a) 10 or bright blue - -------------------------------------------- If anyone wants more recipes, please email me privately and we'll see from there.
