12 Days of Ornaments! Day 1

 
Like so many of you, we at Ranger are sad that Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas 2011 has come to an end.  But we're on a creative roll, so let's keep the holiday momentum going all the way til Christmas!  Thus, we are proud to present Ranger's "12 Days of Ornaments"!  Every day we will present some fun handcrafted ornaments for your viewing pleasure, along with some opportunities to win more great prizes (but more on that in a bit...)

Ready??  Let's get started!

Teresa Natividad created a cheerful ornament using:

• Inkssentials 2" x 2" Memory Frame in Black Patina
• Inkssentials 2" x 2" Memory Glass
• Stickles in Frosted Lace and Diamond
• Liquid Pearls in Buttercup and Lavender Lace

Debbie Tlach's deer ornament was crafted with:

• Inkssentials 2" x 2" Memory Frame in Black Patina
• Inkssentials 2" x 2" Memory Glass
• Inkssentials Enamel Accents in Black
• Stickles in Christmas Red and Star Dust
• Liquid Pearls in Bisque
• Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint - Smidge of Blue, Sable Brown
• Claudine Hellmuth Studio Artist Brushes
• Adirondack Pigment Pad™ - Pitch Black
• Inkssentials™ Cut n' Dry™ Nibs
• Inkssentials™ Non-Stick Craft Sheet

You can check out the full project instructions for Debbie's ornament on our website, too; it's being featured this month on the homepage!  Also featured on the homepage throughout December is a video from Ranger's most recent Craft Night, where the Ranger Team had a blast creating ornaments with Memory Frames.

Time to choose our final three winners from our "Ranger's Inspired by Tim's 12 Tags" series!  Congratulations to:

Nitasha Griffin: "Sad that the 12 Tags has come to end, but so happy to hear that the Ranger blog is going to keep the inspiration flowing! I have enjoyed each Tag inspired project and can't wait to see what else you all have in store for us!"
