Collins FALL 2012 Education & Trade Show

Hey everyone. Well it was another busy week and weekend for everyone at Ranger, but we had a great time at the Collins FALL 2012 Education & Trade Show. If you follow us on Facebook, you probably saw that we caught the master of BTS himself, Mario Rossi, in our own BTS (Behind The Scenes)! He calls it sneaky, but we call it “photojournalism.”

Both Dyan Reaveley and Tim Holtz hosted some amazing classes at the event. In order to prepare, everyone at Ranger was hard at work last week prepping kits. It looks like the hard work paid off – Tim and Dyan’s classes were filled with happy crafters! Check out our photo gallery below to see our team getting ready for the event, as well as photos from the Collins Show in Florida!
