Hi all and welcome to another week on the\u00a0Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you for joining us for the Red White Blue Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.<\/p>\n

This week we are challenging you to<\/p>\n

Distress It\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There are many ways to distress and age a project, from inking and sanding to scraping along the edges with a paper distresser or a sharp pair of scissors. We will be looking forward to seeing how you distress your creation!<\/p>\n

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous\u00a0Simon Says Stamp Store<\/a><\/p>\n
