March 24th Transit Traders Meeting

Spring was in the air as we came together at the Transit Building for the March 2012 meeting of the Transit Traders. Our group was a bit smaller this time as a few people had prior commitments. Our meeting began with a demonstration of the Acetate Smoosh Technique by Bridgett Davis.



Sue Spencer and Carol McDonald try out the Acetate Smoosh Technique

This technique was so simple yet produced beautiful results! The blending of colors is perfect for a spring or summer time palette.

Nicole Keller then passed out identical kits to everyone for the Design Challenge. Create one ATC using the supplies in the kit and bring it to the May meeting. For more instructions, see this post.

We then drew numbers to do our monthly trade of ATCs. A sampling of the cards can be seen at the slideshow at the top of the page. Susan Carlson's bunny card reminded us that Easter is just around the corner.

Jen Lofink has perfected the system for trading the Altered Playing Cards and we anxiously selected our trades. Every number is a lucky number when there are so many fun cards and themes.



Susan Carlson has volunteered to demonstrate a technique at the May meeting. It is called the Herringbone technique. It sounds interesting and we can't wait to get together again to meet and share ideas!
