Challenge 13 | Anything Goes

Hopefully you are not superstitious about Challenge 13. 

However, it does bring some new changes to the blog.  So before I get the challenge, I want to let you know what will be different around here. 

 

The Mod Squad will be posting their challenge examples on the first Tuesday of the challenge.   The second week we will just be posting a reminder - although some members may offer up a second example. 

Your projects will continue to be due on last Friday of the challenge period.  And the Fab Five and the Winners will be posted on the 2nd Sundays. 

RRCB13

Now, on to our new challenge. 

This challenge is a popular one - Anything Goes!! 

However, you need to remember the stamps you use must be at least one year old in order to count towards our Fab Five positions.   Also, you must create a NEW POST.  No backlinking. 

If you are chosen as our favorite of the Fab Five, you will be honored with the option to play along with us in our next challenge!! 

 Our wonderful winner from Challenge 11, was Claudia.  She is a regular on our challenges and we love her work.  She's playing along with us this week.  Visit her on her blog - Stempel und Papier

Good-byes

Sadly, we are saying Good-bye to one of our Mod Squad members today. 

Kelly DeTommaso Elementary PictureThis cutie, Kelly is going to be stepping down.  Challenge 12 is her final challenge with us and we will miss her super cute cards.  But we truly appreciate the time she spent with us as we started this journey. 

And we wish her the best in her future endeavors. 

 

As another change, Katie will be stepping down from her Design Team duties to focus on the behind the scenes work here at Retro Rubber.  You may see creations from her in the future, but she will be helping keep the blog rolling in the background. 

 

 

Check back Sunday for this week's Fab Five and a winner!  And next Tuesday, a new challenge starts!!
