I can tell you that the lovely Sarah is hosting the next challenge on the 28th January and her theme will be 'Oriental', so whilst you are distressing away, be thinking of your next project with us and don't forget the winner receives a £10 voucher to spend at the Stamp Man shop, so what are you waiting for? Happy crafting, have fun and we hope to see you linked below before 12.00 pm on the 27th January.

Have fun with distress techniques over the next two weeks and leave some love on the DT blogs. You have until 9.00 pm on the 27th January to link your project below.

We are looking forward to visiting you to see what you have made.

From Brenda and the Design Team
