Dilemma Solved . . .

So often you're in the middle of a project and you want to add just a dab of sparkle.  You reach for your bottle of Stickles or Liquid Pearls only to find you don't have enough or your bottle is completely empty!  We've all been there, right?  What to do now?  You run to the car and make a quick trip to the "big box" store only to find that in order to get the one color you want or need you have to buy two other colors!  And they're colors you already have or may not even like!  Maddening, isn't it?  Well, not to worry anymore . . . we can help! We sell all of our inks and embellishments . . . Stickles, Liquid Pearls, and more . . . in singles!  No more having to take those colors you don't really want . . . now you can get just what you want, when you want it!  Stop in today and see our complete selection of colors.  You'll be glad you did!

A Great Time Was Had by All!

It seems no one could get enough . . . enough ink, enough fun, or enough food & goodies . . . at Saturday's "Ranger Studio Day - Session 1" Workshop.

With Ranger Certified Instructor, Michael Jack, at the helm of the group, it was an intense, fast-paced day packed with learning over 25 techniques using everything Ranger.  Everyone attending finished the day with all the scoop and how-to's on all the newest in Ranger products, as well as some of our favorites we've been using for awhile . . . Distress Inks, Alcohol Inks, Perfect Pearls, Distress Crackle Paint, Distress Stains, and the list goes on.  Then, of course, we can't forget the great reference tag books everyone created using all the exciting products and techniques perfect for re-creating each technique in their own projects . . . and all this doesn't even include the specialized, personal kit of new, full-sized tools each one was given to keep and take home with them (including a brand new, clean craft sheet!).

And the food . . . starting with breakfast with a variety of everyone's favorite donuts and pastries . . . on to the BBQ lunch with two different types of meats, beans, potato salad, and so much more . . . no one left hungry!

The Start of a Great Day!

With Jack & Cat's Assistance . . .
