CHALLENGE #30 - DISTRESS YOUR CARDS
SO onto our next challenge - Distress your cards - no I don't mean be mean to them and make them cry,  but to distress them to make them look a bit aged and ragged.  But being such a talented bunch out there you already know that.  The cuties have had a fantastic time playing with our sponsor images and also the fantastic range of distressing equipment on the market.  We have all come up with vastly different images and themes, which I know will inspire you.  Don't forget to leave the team comments on their gorgeous creations.

We have two sponsors again this time the first being the wonderful Stamp and Create



Stamp and Create is an online store based in the US with worldwide shipping. We have free shipping for US orders of $55 or more. We specialize in rubber stamps carrying: Magnolia, Wild Rose Studio, Stampavie, High Hopes, Crafter's Companion, The Greeting Farm, and more.
For the week of Oct 29-Nov 4th, we will have many older Magnolia stamps on sale up to 25% off!! Plus each order receives a free gift of charms!

Our second gorgeous sponsor is A Passion for Stamps


and they are offering 4 digi downloads of your choice.  
With both stores having so much to choose from I know our two winners will have a hard time choosing.
Here's what the DT have come up with

 Sue
 LISA

Wow, what a great selection of cuteness, cute images, sentiments and papers.  And all distressed perfectly.  Great work girls.  Don't forget to check back next Monday to see what Kaz has come up with for this challenge.

So now you've seen what we can do, show us what you can do.

Good luck to everyone, we can't wait to see what you come up with.
