Our musical theme has now ended, thank you to everyone who entered, we really appreciate the time you took to enter, there were lots of lovely entries again. This may not have been such a popular theme, we know that some of our themes are challenging, but hey that's what it's all about, a challenge, so well done to those that joined us!
Welcome to new entrants, we hope you will stick with us for future challenges.
Now for the hardest part, picking a Top 5!

Again, I have to say I wish you could all have been winners, but keep joining us and your turn will come I'm sure:) Please take your blinkies from the sidebar Top 5 ladies and JoZarty, I'll contact you about your prize very soon! Anyone who used our stamps, then do remember to take your gold star blinkie too.
So, now for a new challenge, this time it's distress. I think our Design Team have made gorgeous cards yet again and we are looking forward to seeing all of your entries.
As it is my turn to host the challenge I thought I would give a sneak peek at something that is featuring in my next Create and Craft live show which is on Wednesday 15th September at 9am, a mini journal. I hope you will be able to watch it live or catch a repeat, if not perhaps you could record it! I'll also be on at noon the same day for Craft Creations.
Well, I'll stop waffling and let you get on with your distressing!

OK, so that's our DT entries for the distress theme!
ADVANCE WARNING!!
Before I go, just a mention about a future challenge, the one after this is 'altered'. Before you all disappear and think no way, I can't do that, I only do cards, well you have about a month to think about what to alter and as it may be a challenging challenge, we will have something different for you, yep, some incentives:) So be sure to hang around here for that one and PLEASE give it a go! You can alter anything, a box, a picture frame, a tin, a jar, anything, the wackier the better, perhaps you can think of altering something for someone ready for a Christmas present.
Our Design Team know all about my challenges, Vix calls them 'Jill specials', now I'm challenging YOU! ha ha!!
In the meantime, keep your eyes open for something to alter:) ... and get distressing!
