Veteran's Day...

a time to celebrate those

both past & present...

who risk their lives to keep us safe...

from the bottom of my heart...

to all who have served...

THANK YOU!

Ranger is participating

in the "Operation Write Home" blog hop...

appropriately scheduled to begin on Veteran's Day...

the starting point is HERE...

grab a beverage...

I think you'll find lots of inspiration...

after I hop...(lol...sounds like a pancake place)

I'll be working on the final details for my new GIFT line of with BLOSSOM BUCKET...

yesterday I got a few more sneak peeks of the prototypes from the new embellishment line...

let me just say...

YIPPEE!

one in particular, made me laugh out loud...

it's a little...funky...

ok...it's actually over the edge funky!

I can not wait to show you...

the new art parts are about finalized too...

I expect to start playing with them in the next week or 2...

another...

YIPPEE!

and after that, I'm headed to the studio

for more tissue wrap play...

I had a few questions about how this is different from "regular" tissue paper...

here's my take...

most importantly...

it's much stronger than "regular" tissue paper...

it takes "abuse" much better...

it has a sort of waxy finish...

it accepts color well...

and it is AWESOME when applied to art parts!

can you say addicting?

seriously...it's very fun stuff...

remember...

next week is the GREAT PUMPKIN CHALLENGE

on the Ranger blog...

it starts on Tuesday with...

OOPS...can't say! it's a surprise!

I'm anxious to see what "THE OTHERS" have created...

"the others" are some of Ranger's FAVORITE designers...

that's it for today...

have a great holiday weekend & I hope you can...

make art!
