ranger u week...

i'm here in new jersey this week preparing for our Ranger University this weekend.  this will be our first full curriculum combining all things Ranger into one technique packed weekend.  Our limited attendees of 28 students will be learning about all of the latest and greatest products Ranger has to offer as well as hands-on techniques {over 75 of them} from Ranger's top designers including Suze Weinberg, Claudine Hellmuth, and myself.  This is one of the best events for Ranger education and is designed for store owners, manufacturers, designers, and teachers to learn how the products work, what techniques can be done, and how to teach them.  Each day, the students will attend 8+ hours of learning, sharing, and creative techniques at Ranger's education facility - it's truly an inspiring weekend.  for information on attending Ranger U as well as dates and requirements- check out Ranger's website.

so to kick off this weekend of education, Ranger has agreed to sponsor my blog for a week of giveaways!  that's right, all week long from today through saturday i will be featuring a different Ranger product.  each day i'll share with you some information on a different Ranger product as well as some tips and ideas on how to use it.  all you have to do, is post a comment each day for a chance to win and i'll select a random winner the following day.  that's it!  so take some time this week to learn about Ranger's products, check out Ranger's website for even more projects, tip, and techniques, and of course take a little time to be creative...

today's product:
Adirondack Pigment Inks
one of Ranger's newest products, this popular color palette of Adirondack is now available in a rich, opaque pigment ink.  perfect for your paper craft projects, this fast drying pigment ink can be used on your cards as well as scrapbook pages.  use it with stamps (clear or rubber), coloring chipboard or grungeboard, embossing, or colorizing paper, metals, plastic or glass.

I have black in the ranger inks and I love how it does not stain the stamps, but is permanent on paper. I can just stamp off on a piece of scrap paper and no cleaning to do.

Love to win these. Thanks T!m.
