Hi Crafty Peeps!

Ranger Industries hosted a really cool designer challenge at the CHA Winter Trade Show!  Twenty-four designers were put to the task of altering these mini dress forms with Stickles and Liquid Pearls.  You are going to go nuts over these designs!  The creativity and diversity among them all are astounding!  Some of the artists who participated in this challenge were Tim Holtz, Suze Weinberg, Tammy Tutterow, Jenni Bowlin and Wendy Vecchi!

Let's make it a visual day!  I hope you enjoy all the pics….there are a lot!
