Oh man, I love everything but the alcohol and distress inks are the things I use the most. I can add colour to just about anything with those and do.
I would guess about 25 items.

Emily B said...

The blending tool is my favorite - it's magic! I'm guessing 31 items in the box. Thanks!!

Lori said...

Can't wait to see more stuff from CHA! Just when you think it can't get any better.....it does! I'm going to guess 32 items in the box, since I know both you, Ranger and Tim are so GENEROUS! Thanks for the chance to win!

lrimerman said...

My favorite item of Ranger is Distress Inks, I use them on just about everything I do. I love all their stuff, but those are my favorites.

I will say there are 27 items in the box

Becs Attwood said...

Love all your CHA projects. Thanks for the chance to win. There are heaps of Ranger products that I'm dying to try out as soon as the budget allows. I did recently get one of their Ink Blending Tools & that is heaps of fun to play with. My guess is 26 items in the box.

Unknown said...

My favorite Ranger Product- currently is Perfect Pearls. I have the Metallic set and have had so much fun with it. But, the Craft Sheet is high on my wish list! That Tim is a generous man- and he knows how to treat his bloggers, so my guess for the AMAZING box of goodies is 34.

Honestly? I'm a newbie. . .just got some ink and grungeboard. . .so I have to say I covet but I have no favorite. I think 35 items are in the box--no clue about how many layers!

Priscilla said...

Though this sounds very bland, I'd have to say my favorite Ranger product is the non-stick craft sheet. How can you possibly use the other products without having the craft sheet down on your work surface?

As for products in the box, my guess is 35.

Anne said...

Hi, Wendy! I adore Ranger products, so it is hard to pick just one! But I am going to say my non-stick craft sheet. I use it all the time! Almost daily! I love that thing! I'm guessing 29 items in the box! :-)

Unknown said...

I think my favorite Ranger product is going to be Rock Candy, but since I can't get my hands on any of that right now, I will say Glossy Accents. Other companies make a similar product, but none work like Ranger's version. Products in the box: 31.

I'm a new comer to the Ranger products but I recently was able to try Ranger products with Wendy at one of her classes at StampFest this past June. I really love the grunge paper and grunge board with the distress inks using the blender tool.

Barb said...

I love my Glossy Accents! I think there are 23 things in the box.

Eiglas said...

penny4thoughts said...

Such cool mini book pictures you've been posting!! Very inspiring!! Like everyone else, it's hard to pick just ONE favorite - but i'd have to say Distress Inks because I use them all the time, but a close second would be alcohol inks. My guess is 37 for the products in the box.

Donna said...

Distress inks are my favorite and my guess would be 47 awesome products!

Deb Smith said...

My most frequently UTILIZED Ranger product is my craft mat. I use it every time I craft but I absolutely love the alcohol inks (especially with the new refillable pens). Looking forward to seeing you in Bloomington in November.

Deb Smith said...

Whoops - I forgot to guess a number. My number is 54.

mamakat said...

My guess is 28 products. The one I absolutely can not live with out is my CRAFT SHEET. How do you do any GOO with out it? and what kind of fun would it be with out GOO and inky, dirty, gooey hands? Speaking of dirty hands; maybe Ranger could make gloves out of their craft sheet for those weird people who like to keep them clean.
Thanks a bunch, I mean a box!
Kathryn

brevis1 said...

Love that!
I'm gonna guess there are 51 goodies in the box.
Love your blog!

Sally sTo said...

The Ink Blending Tool is my favorite and one that I can't live without. For my guess I have to go with 44, my favorite number repeated twice. It must be a favorite of yours too, with Studio 490. Makes me wonder Wendy, what meaning lies behind that number for you? Thanks for all the fun and for the great prize box of Ranger and Tim goodies too!

Soupy said...

I love my craft sheet- it is the corner stone to every piece of art I create. I am going with.....57 items.

I was at my very first CHA with Margaret and was simply amazed with the demos by Tim and you.
I am new at this and am very anxious to start trying some of the things that I saw.
Needless to say, I don't have a favorite product yet, but was very impressed with the distress inks.
My guess is 32.
