Ranger Designer Challenge Clip

Good Evening Everybody!

Well, market is going good!  It's been probably the best market I have been to in a long while...Like I said in a previous post, new fresh merchandise everywhere!  I had talked to several showroom reps and they all said the same thing...Excellent Market for them.  Yahooo!

Things I see this time around....

There are fewer moustache goodies out there even though it's still in so many lines.  Seems to be about the geometric prints on everything.  Light and bright colors...However, tis the season for bringing the bright colors back out.  Lots of vintage, Shabby Chic and Paris Chic still everywhere.  Christmas this year...Looks to be like whites, pastel colors of green and pink, champagnes and silver with that added touch of black again.  Owls and burlap are still everywhere....tunics and leggings, tunics and leggings! Everyone has them! For goodness sakes...grab some for your wardrobe!  LOL! Shorter necklaces with stamped quotes seem to be the rage around here! Chargers and Bluetooth speakers all blinged out for your phone seems to be another trend....This is just a few of the things that come to mind immediately... 

We still have about a day and a half to go!  It's starting to take a bit a of a toll on us!  We are weary and ready to get back to our cozy homes and normal routines.  At least, I know I am!  It's always fun to come here and shop for the stores, but it's also sooooo nice to finally get home!  I miss my family and my studio.

Now for the title of this post...Ranger Designer Challenge Clip...Someone emailed me yesterday with a link to Noell Hyman's, PaperClipping You tube on the Ranger Challenge.  If you are interested in seeing the projects click the link below.  My project is toward the end so grap a cuppa and give it a gander....

Here's the link...

    Wow......I love those BIG clock hands you used in your Ranger Distress piece! How the heck did ya do that...my dies are Not that big! Also love the background dimension on your canvas....were they cut pieces glued to canvas then colored? Or, did you use a stencil and modeling paste to give the 3-d dimension on the background? Either way....Love your project! its the Best!

      Hi Roxanne…
      I used Dyan Reaveley's newish flower stencil and Wendy Vecchi embossing paste for the background.

      Hope that helps. .
