Is there any where that I can buy or trade stamped images? I would love some Bella images, but I can not justify buying all of the stamps. I would also like some cowboy,House Mouse and golf images. If anyone has any to trade or sell I would greatly appreciate knowing about them. I only make cards to give away I do not sell them. Thanks.
There are some PIF (pay it forward) boards that do the image thing. What they do is a person lists what they want for an image. If you have what they want then you send it to them. Then you get a chance to do a list on what you are looking for. Pretty cool. You can also post on the ISO board for the items that you want as well.
There is a thread titled Open Image swap(a new way). you list what you have, and folks pm you with what they have or want. I usually send 2-3 pages of images, really fun, and a great way to try out a set..

I have done this and have listed my stamps on here! It's a great way to swap some images (or sample them to see if you really like them) and not have to go buy every single stamp. Everyone has been very nice and has done wonderful stamping and quick mailing too!

don't forget that you get three freebies.. where you can ask and not have to grant any right away. and you grant as few or as many as you are comfortable with..there are no minimums.
Oh, ladies, please don't be scared by wish-rak. Yes, the rules can be confusing, but any of the members will be more than happy to help you. It's like a lot of other things - the more you do it, the easier it gets. Please feel free to PM me with questions.
I too joined the WRAK but have not even made my first three "free" wishes. I've looked at the wish list of others but am also afraid of "doing it right" It's mostly the ink's that confuse me.
I am a fairly new WRAK member and I love it! I wishes for punches and CB embossed paper and lots of things that I don't want to spend lots of money for! Really, give it a try. Its not hard at all and they give you guidelines to break you in slowly. I have been a member less than a month and I grant and recieve wishes all the time!
Me too... I just joined and now get happy mail and have fun sending stamped images, punches, cb folders, etc. and I receive things back that I am looking for. I made several mistakes at first, but have it figured out now... you will love it and the people there are very nice and enjoy sharing... I send out wishes whenever I can grant. You can PM me if you have any questions... I sure can not afford to buy all of the stamps that I like but there are many very nice people who like to share.

I was confuzzled first too, and it was great. One, you get a mentor who will be there for ya to explain any questions you may have. and two, the rules really aren't that bad once you understand. and ya know what, if you don't have the specified ink on a Request..you can skip it..or you can PM the person and ask if it's okay to use what ya do have.
I find I grant more requests for Cuttlebug folders than anything else.. because I have a lot of them, but not to terribly many stamps(like Bellas) that are popular. and that's okay!. I have also used WRAK to get rid of some extra HodgePodge pieces and other embellies that I thought I had to have and end up not liking or using them.
Oh, and check out the Pay It Forward thread in RAK, THAT can be a blast, because there are no restrictions on what you can send out to some lucky soul.
Heck, try BRAK: Birthday cards, that's it. any other goodies are strictly at your discretion. Or the weekly RAK challenge. you don't have to grant stuff on their wish List at all! just a spare card from your stash to brighten their day.
My biggest problem is I have about 200 Wishes that I can ask for.. and NO IDEA what to ask for!!! :rolleyes:
Definitely Wish Rak. In that last 14 months that I have been a member, I have granted and received 100s of wishes. Including many many Bellas. In fact, I have over 2 dozen Bella image but don't own a single Bella stamp.
