CHA was a blast!

I had so much fun at CHA...

after MONTHS of planning...

it's GREAT to finally share new products & new art samples...

it's GREAT to visit with friends...

it's GREAT to spend time with people who "GET" it...
and want to know every juicy detail on how something was created...

A MILLION thanks to everyone who came to watch demos, ask questions, film videos & share the excitement...

this CHA was really extra special for me...
Ranger signature designer...
I'm still pinching myself...

like the title says...it was a BLAST!

I demoed my new archivals in the Ranger booth and at the Stampers Anonymous booth I showed new stamps, stencils, embossing pastes & art parts...
it's a thrill that everything works well together, exactly as planned...

I always wonder which stamp set or art parts package will be THE favorite...

the individual background stamps definitely generated lots of excitement...
I heard loud & clear that you have been waiting for them!  cool!
makes me happy!

******************
I've had so many people ask how my new archival inks got designed...

here's a quickie funny story...

I told the Ranger chemist what colors I wanted, then patiently waited for them to arrive here for approval...

I lied...
(patient is NOT a word in my vocabulary)...

the day the box was delivered, Rick was grinning from ear to ear when he brought it in...

he grabbed a knife & said...

"I can not wait to see your name on the label"...

when he pulled them out, I saw a huge look of disappointment on his face...

as I was walking over to have a look, I was thinking...
OMG...are they ugly?

but here's what I saw...
lol...




and a closer look...

he now calls me...

EXPERIMENTAL!





the inks turned out FABULOUS and I'm 110% pleased with the colors...

we still laugh about the first label...
and I'll keep the "experimental" pads forever...

************

I have a TO*DO list that's a mile long & it needs to be finished before I head off to INK ABOUT IT in Westford, Mass...

but I HAD to take some time yesterday to make a quickie tag, using tim's new distress glitter...

I was wondering how my clearly for art clicker cutts flowers would look covered with the glitter...

I used the clear flowers for this sample, but I want to try the black flowers with just a random sprinkling of vintage photo glitter...or tarnished brass...I NEED more hours in the day!

anyway...

the tag background was created with wild honey, faded jeans & scattered straw distress inks...

I used my new A to Z background stamp with cornflower blue archival...

then stamped over the whole background with water, using my vintage mesh background... 

you'll see that the water reacts with the distress, but the archival is permanent, crisp & clear & unaffected by the water...

I used fern green archival with my new reverse polkadot background to add borders at the top & bottom of the tag...

I like jet black archival for my sentiment...it pops...

the bird was stenciled with cornflower blue archival...

I covered my new art parts stem/leaves with Glossy Accents, then shabby shutters & peeled paint distress glitter...

I tapped Glossy Accents onto the CFA clicker cutts flowers and sprinkled the smaller flower with vintage photo & the larger with rusty hinge distress glitter...

when the Glossy Accents was dry, I heated the flowers to soften the CFA, then shaped them...

I'm LOVING this...

a very strong/sturdy...sugary glittery vintage pretty flower...
and...
another way to alter clearly for art...




this was fun...
I sewed some coordinating embroidery floss thru the holes
 in the mini gear, to accent the flower center...

the photos don't show how pretty the glitter really is...


its...
GIVEAWAY time!

I SCORED some new archival pads to share...




if you would like a chance to win a set of all 6...

just leave a comment ...

simple!

we'll draw the random winner at 7am Chicago time tomorrow...

remember...
archivals are AWESOME when you...

make art!
