Creativation Booth- Ranger Designer Challenge Projects- Revealed!

Good Evening!

As the show (Creativation) opened today in Arizona, I totally forgot to show you the projects I created...It's been a busy day working on family things that needed to be done.  We...Mom, Cesar and I drove to Brownwood, Texas to see my sister, bro-in-law and nieces and had the most amazing lunch... that... at 8:30 in the evening I am still full from...Ugg!  As I said earlier, I totally forgot to share this year's projects...Better late than never...Well, here goes...

For Graphic 45 I was sent the paper for two new collections...One, Little Women and the other Sun Kissed...This is what I came up with...

Little Women...A movie I watched many times growing up and even as an adult watch time after time... I even  had the opportunity to see Louisa May Alcott's home in Concord, Mass...So, I loved working with this collection and it brought back so many amazing memories...Here's...

Beth's Piano













And then there was Graphic 45's Sun Kissed!  I love the beach and it was right up my alley!  Here's what I came up with....BTW, I had so much fun making the cart!  It was a blast!

Sun Kissed Lemonade and Ice Cream Cart





I had some paper left over to make another project, so I went with a Sun Kissed Day at the beach Inspired Clock...

Seahorse and Sand Dollar Clock



Loving these new collections from Graphic 45!  Thanks to the G45 Team for allowing me to make a few projects for their booth!  Hope you like them!

Ranger Designer Challenge 2018

Now...I was honored to be asked to do the Ranger Designer Challenge this year again!  This year they were honoring Dyan Reaveley of Dylusions Fame!  The challenge...Take a small plain paper mache Top Hat... and then I was given the warm colors of the Dylusion paints...Orange, Brown, Black and Cream... add in somewhere the new stencils, the animal ut outs (sorry, I can't remember the name she gave them...but oh so cute!...The new gelli plate, washi tapes and shimmer spray...BUT...make it yours...Well, this is what I came up with...

The Animal Hangout Top Hat!




Well, That's what I got!  Hope you like them...I know I had a blast creating them! BTW, I have had an amazing time in my studio coming up with the MOST amazing projects for classes and kits this year!  It's been the first time in a long, long time that I have had the time to just sit and design...My kitchen bar is honestly just loaded with things I cannot wait to share with you!  Here's to 2018!  Yahoooo!
