Magnolia Down Under Challenge #51 {Embossing} - Winner and Top 5

Firstly I must apologise for posting the winners late this week - I spent a lovely day out crafting with some friends so I was running behind getting the votes tallied from the DT. But we got there in the end!

I've always loved adding texture to my creations by using embossing - and it was great to see how many of you also love this technique. I love both dry and heat embossing and there were some fabulous examples of both in this week's entries. But - as always - we have to narrow it down to one winner and this week the DT has selected THIS fabulous entry as our winner this week - we hope you display our badge with pride.


Congratulations...............................

A Sad Farewell To Kylie Crossley

I wanted to keep this separate from the post to say a farewell to the gorgeous Kylie Crossley... She is leaving so that she can put her all in her other Design Team commitments and you wont get rid of her that easily she will be here entering when can that's for sure! Her work is and was amazing every time and always an inspiration.

Big Hugs from all the girls here at Magnolia Down Under Challenges xx.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #49 {Polka Dots} - Winner and Top 5

Were you guys all seeing spots this week?? I certainly did! We had spots on flowers, spots on stamps and paper, embossed spots and decorative spots! It has truly seen me go a little dotty with all the spot-tacular creations I saw - LOL. I'm just sooooo glad it's not up to just me to pick a winner - it was pretty darn close for the top 5! But we must confess - there was a stand out winner this week and and this week the DT have decided that this creation deserves to wear out Winner's Badge with pride.

Congratulations...............................

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #48 {Flowers} - Winner and Top 5

WOW - at the close of the competition at midday we had 106 entries - I say it again - WOW!!! You guys certainly love your flowers - LOL. It was great to seee such a variety of flowers too - handmade, bought, stamped, designer paper images and even some lace. Personally I LOVE flowers so I had a WONDERFUL time popping in to everyone's blog and checking out how you've used them!

But unfortunately there can only be ONE winner - and this week the DT have decided that this creation deserves to wear out Winner's Badge with pride.

Congratulations...............................
