it's Wednesday & time for another stamp giveaway...
but first...
I thought I'd answer some questions from yesterdays comments...
#1...PS do all of the Ranger artists get together at some point and co-ordinate sizes for your releases or is it just somewhat of a happy accident that so many of your items work well with Tim and the other designers?
nope...
actually...
it's just FATE & when things WORK...
it's pure...MAGIC!
#2...I have a question: I've heard Tim's crinkle ribbon mentioned in several places. Is that a new ribbon or the one we make ourselves with the seam binding?
Thanks for the give-aways.the crinkle ribbon is the same exact seam binding-ish material that's in his current "trimmings" package...
it is very popular...and everyone wanted a larger piece...
so now we get 10 yards in one pack......
yippee!
now if he'd listen about a bring back of those *snaps*...
I'd be a happy camper...
one thing about me...
I NEVER give up!
#3...are you going to be in my part of the country this year? PLEASE say YES!
I'm in the process of scheduling stores now...
it takes a bit to coordinate everything...
stay tuned...
you'll see some of the locations listed soon...
I'll update the right sidebar...
there was also a question about
the Clearly For Art Blackout technique
that I demoed @ CHA...
I had planned to do a tutorial, but then my brain turned on @ 3am today...
and I remembered that I already did a video for ScrapTime, showing that technique...
so, as soon as I hear from Christine,
I'll post the video link...
it's a fun one!
and speaking of LINKS...
this week on the Ranger blog,
you can see photos from the designer challenge...
day one is up...day 2 will be posted later today...
I think this was THE BEST challenge ever...
lots of really cool submissions & I thought the display was over the moon AWESOME...
we had LOTS of wonderful comments...
incase you missed Alain's video about extreme stickling...
I talked to Alain @ CHA about the video & told him how much I LOVED it...
and guess what?
it's not altered digitally...
I thought there was a slight possibility...
and wasn't 100% sure that they really did dump that big dose of stickles over him...
TRUST ME...
THEY DID!
he showed me a video from a different angle...
WOW...
and he has the rock solid lab coat in his office as evidence...
so think about that when you admire his dress form from the designer challenge...
don't miss the video...
ok...here's today's stamp giveaway...
a FAVORITE for sure...
and it's in stock!
the telephone is one of my fav new art parts...
there are 3 pieces to the phone and when inked & stamped
it looks like this...
I've also clear embossed it for a fun effect...
and here's the guy again...
yesterday he was sporting a Blossom Bucket Top Hat...
today he's wearing the smallest art parts residence roof...
which I stamped with a portion of the collage background...
this was one of the pieces I made for tim...
LOTS of idea-ology on it...
both current & BRAND NEW...
did you spot them all??
light bulb newest addiction!
long fastener
art parts are perfect for mixing & matching...
I like to play with the parts to find unique combinations...
I used the rectangle frame with the base of the large square frame...
with some large scallops & a ruler...
it's a stand alone piece because of the Blossom Bucket black metal corner...
there's also a BB Black metal corner holding the scallops @ the top...
it sort of creates a roof...
ok...2 stamps sets are going to new homes...
congrats to...
Heidi said...I really like the fact that you can use the stamps with the art parts...or all by themselves. However, I have become an art part hoarder. I'm sure I'm the only one too.
and to...
