Hi Everyone,

Thank you to all those that visited us at Stamperama and also to those who have sent us messages by email and facebook to thank us for our help. It really makes our day to know we are appreciated and also to put a face to a name.

It's the turn of the Rubber Girls again to host the challenge and myself, Tracy, to choose the theme. I have chosen one of my favourite techniques, "Distressing". This can be by tearing papers, inking edges adding texture or paint or however you interpret the theme.

Our sponsor for this challenge is:-
