oh DEER...

it's fall...

the title will make sense 
when you see the project!

I L O V E to experiment...

it's one of my most favorite things to do...

I like to figure out how to use products in a new way or how to combine them with other products to make something new...

this is a great way to get more use from the products you probably already have...

sometimes what I make goes in the trash...

sometimes the idea works...

this one worked!

today I'm sharing a new discovery called...

glittered embossing powder...

this is PERFECT for fall and 
winter holiday projects...

oh...and I'll be using it for 
Valentine's Day too...

grab your colored embossing powders,

some rock candy distress glitter,

some black magic mat board & 

your big pumpkin tim/sizzix die...

and this most ADORABLE mini
tea time movers & shapers die...

then, pop over to the Ranger blog & follow along to make your own fall art...

unfortunately...
bad BLOGGER 
is acting up again & 
will not allow me to add photos...
yesterday was fine...
today, no cooperation...

but you'll find the scoop on 
the Ranger blog...
I hope you'll grab your supplies and...

make art!
