Congratulations to our Lucky Commenters! Please stop by the LBH to pick up your prize or send us your address if you are an out of town fan! Thanks for ALL of your CoMMenTs...Keep'em coming!

Today, I thought I would share with you some of the great NEW Lotions & Potions that we found in the Ranger Booth. Tim as well as the rest of the industry is taking a walk on the "BriGhT" side. One of our LBH Gals was chosen thru a lotto system and got to take a Special Workshop with Tim which he calls a "World of Distress". Here is what they made:

See what I mean about the colors!!! Fun and Bright!!! I for one, love this NEW color trend. Check out the NEW Burlap Panels...a fun new surface from Ranger...Love the texture. Here are the sizes they will be packaged in.

You will also notice on these canvases some fun NEW dies from Tim...Mustache & Picture Wheel (looks just a Viewfinder) among  several others...

And of course...the NEW Distress Paint Dabbers! You will love creating with these...Here is what the "Tim"ster has to say about them...

"These very fluid water-based paints have some pretty innovative properties to them, certainly not like ordinary craft paints.  the viscosity of these paints are reminiscent of the fluid vintage style milk-paints with a mixing ball inside when you shake it up.  the distress paint formulation works on multi-surfaces including paper, chipboard, grungeboard, fabric, wood, metals and plastics.  it is also reactive with water while the paint is wet allowing you some great blending ability and awesome textural effects.  the best part however, is once the paints are dry, they don’t rewet so you’re able to layer these with the other distress products like inks and stains to achieve incredible effects.  the amazing palette of 24 colors from the distress line will make it easy to coordinate with other distress products too." Tim Holtz

Here is a quick video clip from Tim's blog about these NEW paints:
