This month the challenge is to Distress your card or project.  We posted Chris's tutorial yesterday, you can find it in the post below.  Just remember to be in the draw for the prize you MUST use a Magnolia stamp.

But first we need to announce the winner of the Monochrome challenge, and that lucky person is
Jeanet.  Congratulations, please can you email us so we can arrange to have your prize of a $25 voucher from Simon Says Stamp sent to you

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team - they really pushed the boat out with these fantastic creations, starting off with our new Guest Designer - DawnyP.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Somehow my image looks a lot less distressed than I had intended - it's the tidy person in me holding back. I did really enjoy the challenge (duly linked) which I combined with two others. Thank you for the inspiration! Lesley
