ok...due to some questions/emails...
I have to finish the story about yesterday's post...
this concerns Lady Dy...
while the Ranger booth was being set up @ CHA,
Lady Dy was working on her art journal...
she mentioned something about looking for her "kitchen roll".
DUH...
I thought she was hungry & told her the Ranger guys always bring us snacks...
but, little did I know that Lady Dy was referring to...
a roll of paper towels!
so that became our standing joke for the entire CHA...
we laughed about kitchen rolls...
because of the blizzard in Chicago,
I was delayed for a day coming home from CHA
& had plenty of time to think...
I got to wondering what she called toilet paper...
so I emailed & asked...
her response...
"why toilet paper of course.
what did you think we'd call it?"
my response...
a butt roll...
kitchen roll...
butt roll...
made perfect sense to me...
so if you've seen the bantering back & forth
on Facebook & Twitter about the "shimmy butt roll"...
that's the story & I'm stickin to it...
I have some quite lovely normal British friends...
and there's Lady Dy!
I LOVE her dearly!
she makes me laugh...
moving on...
here's my designer challenge for Ranger...
it's featured on Ranger's blog today...
if you've not visited there this week, scroll down & see all 20 creations...
we were each given a 12 x 12 wood frame with a black foamcore insert, Perfect Pearls and more Ranger goodness...
our mission was to create art within the frame
& to feature Perfect Pearls...
I started by adhering a giant vintage dictionary page to grungepaper...
I applied the adhesive randomly, so that when I misted it with water & heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist the dictionary paper would buckle & look really dimensional...
I tore several spots & curled them...
for more texture & a vintage effect...
I misted the wood frame with espresso color wash & spread it with a piece of Cut N Dry foam...
the color washes are great on unfinished wood...
very quick & simple...
& then I randomly stamped my fav medicine bottle stamp, using jet black archival...
I finished the frame by misting it with heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist...
when I misted the entire piece with heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist...
I held the frame upright to create drips of shimmer on the paper...
sad to say the photos don't show the pearls...
you'll see lots of art parts...
those were stamped with jet black archival...
the book is a vintage book from an antique mall...
the vintage glasses were found there too...
I glued the book shut & wired it to the foamcore, so it would be nice & sturdy...
tim's trimmings ribbon was misted with espresso color wash & heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mist & then stamped with text, using jet black archival...
I LOVE the combo of espresso color wash & heirloom gold PP...
oh...that vintage pen nib was an antique mall find too...
here's my piece...
it's die cut from my new Clearly for ART BLACKOUT...
using tim's tattered florals die...
then it's stamped with my polka dot background & the plaid background too...
using the gold paint dabber for both...
tim's giant accoutrement bling button made the perfect center...
I LOVE it especially with BLACKOUT...
I promised to suck up to the Ranger guys...
tim, Alain & Justin @ CHA...
and it worked!
I'm happy to report...
SUCCESS...
I scored these...
I have 12 BRAND NEW tim holtz distress stains to give to a lucky someone...
they are just...
AWESOME!

The art peice turned out really cool! I would love to win the distress stains!
wetting myself laughing here at the kitchen roll/butt roll. As a Brit myself I can confuse the matter further by telling you that in some parts of the UK its referred to as Loo Roll or even Bog Roll... Dyan was being very polite with the toilet roll response!

great way to create the crinkly paper for the background. i crinkle first and then glue. so next project i can save myself some time. wish the photo showed the golden PP in all their glory. great kitchen roll story. the first video i saw of her doing the "roll" i had one of those head slap moments wondering why i hadn't thought of doing that. sure do like the internet. pick up all kinds of techniques and inspiration.
Love how it looks like one of your men is holding the glasses and the other is reaching for the stars. Now picture me reaching for those yummalicious stains.

Wendy, you are such an inspiration. Somedays I don't want to visit your blog because i know I won't have time to create art that day. I can't wait until the Ranger stains(along with all the other cool Tim stuff) hit the stores here in Oregon!
Wendy, your frame project is lovely as usual!! And I'm quite excited to get my hands on the distress stains; they almost look good enough to eat!! I had a good laugh at your "roll" jokes; Geo. Bernard Shaw was so RIGHT about American & English uses of our common language. Words are SO much fun. Thanks for so many different forms of fun on your blog.
I don't know if someone else mentioned it already, but in the UK we also called toilet paper 'bog roll' - thought you might want to include that in your Twitter banter at some point! lol
Fabulous project :) as always I am reading down the list of wonderful things and can't wait to see the pic! The glasses really look great :)
Always inspired by the Ranger pieces, so thank you. Hoping to play with the Ranger stains Friday when I get to do a Tim class in the UK.
This is my first post to your blog...but...I've been reading it for over a year now and LOVE your art!!! You inspire me!!!
Love Art Parts and Clearly for Art!!!
Thanks for all you do to "educate" us and "enable" us to create art!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh the messes I can make with all that stain!! I will need kitchen roll and butt roll to clean it all up. What fun - I so enjoy your stories, your creations, and Rick...yep we love you too.
Lovely frane Wendy, so vintage looking,
I am already dreaming about owning the new stains, trying to justify buying them on next months wages
so I would love to go in tyo the draw.
Kat.
Would love a chance to get my hands on those stains, & I love the wrinkled look of your dictionary page
my goodness what a great project, love the glasses added such a great look to the finished piece. Too funny about the "kitche roll" and "butt roll"
thanks for a chance at another wonderful Ranger product!!
Oooo, a whole set of the new Distress stains! That would be awesome!
I love your art piece, especially the glasses. :-)
Kitchen roll is so versatile and when it's finished I put it in the rubbish bin. I try avoid spraying ink on my trousers but would never get it on my pants. I put money in my purse and that inside my handbag. Celebrate the differences.
Wow, awesome piece of art you made!!!!
Wendy your art work is gorgeous!!
Thank you for the inspiration!, and for "sucking up" to the Ranger guys for the giveaway!LOL
Have a great weekend!
I love your project!!!
Those Distress stains are on the top of my "must have" list.Thanks for the chance to win some.
Thank you for continuing to show us such great stuff. Keep it up.
Super art work! All of these pieces on Ranger are inspiring me to do something artish! LOL
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those stains! They look awesome!
Wow. Not only do we get to SEE the project, but we get a personal account of its creation.
Now I need some STAINS so I can, as you say, make ART!
A set of 12! Wow what a giveaway! I was pretty excited about getting just a couple! No stress over deciding what color to choose!!!! Love the framed piece you did...great finds at the antique mall! Thanks for all the sharing you do!
Love these stains...I can imagine all kinds of ways to use these in paper art creations!
Hi Wendy , I would love to be considered for these wonderful products. :)
Jeannette v.D.
Loved the "roll" story!
and thanks for some new goodies.. I would love to get my hands on the stains to make some art!
GORGEOUS Artwork!! :-)
I am totally in Awe of you!!
Funny story!!
We call it Kitchen roll and toilet roll in Ireland!! (Butt!!) LOL!!
Inky Hugs,
Michelle xx
Love your project!And love those stains! Thanks for the opp!
Butt roll huh - I would have guessed the same since the other is a kitchen roll!! Love that book in the piece - looks so real. All the artist boards on the Ranger blog are amazing!!! Who knows maybe I'll be the lucky one and win the stains - a girl could use some new stains in her life!
Love the butt role ... too funny! Thanks for the opportunity to win the stains!
The butt role thing was hilarious! Thanks so much for the chance to win the distress stains!!!
tons of shimmy butt roll used in class today babe, just perfecting my technique, lol xx
Love the butt roll story..shared it with my sister who HATES the word butt...LOL...my nickname for her has been Lou(he he we know what that means) since day one ....Hey I work at an elementary school, bathroom humor is all I hear ! Would love love the stains, as my budget is spent on school stuff as you know our governor LOVES to cut school funding...so my craft budget is very very low...Thanks for the laugh and the chance :)
What a great prize; I'm imagining what fun I could have with all those colors. Thanks, Wendy.
Oh how I LOVE those Stains! I've been eyeing them ever since they were introduced. It would be wonderful to have them to play with! Thank you for the chance to win...you're awesome as always, Wendy.
Ooooh I would SOooooooo love the chance to win the stains! Pick me Rick! :)
Wendy...thanks for thinking of us in scoring the stains! What a fab giveaway! Wish I had them right now for a swap I'm making! Can't wait for your new book too!
I have used the stains already and love, love, love them all.
Hi Wendy, I first discovered you through Tim Holtz and have been a subbie since then. I love how original your art is. I always walk away with a fresh new idea. Can't wait to try the new Stains! Thank you!

Can't wait to try the new Distress stains. And, yeah, it should be called a butt roll....
Guess you gals were on a "roll" at the CHA. Sure would love those stains, butt I will need a kitchen roll after to clean my hands!
I love coming to read your posts and look at your art....so much inspiration...I would love to win the washes...but I never win anything but I never give up hope either and since I am not allowe to buy more stuff yet(Kids are helping me redo my craft room, but it is taking soooooooooooo lonnnggg) if I won some new stuff they cant complain and the washes would be the first thing I put in place in my new room. Thanks to all for (slim to none) chance at winning.
