Every month I participate in a sideline swap, it is one of the fun things about being a demonstrator. One of the ladies in my upline (those are the demonstrators in your direct line – the one that recruited you or a demonstrator that recruited her or her upline) I love participating in swaps for a number of different reasons:
1. Everyone is super creative and other demonstrators often create things very differently than I approach card making so it gives me new ideas and creative alternatives.
2. I do not and could not owe every stamp set! Although some days I want it all LOL! Swaps give me the opportunity to show my customers and website followers samples with stamp sets I do not personally own!
3. Because getting new ideas and swapping is just really FUN!!
