Magnolia Down Under Challenge #56 {Christmas in July} - Winner and Top 5

It's scary to think of how soon Christmas will be here - but at least many of us made a start on our cards with this challenge - LOL. Personally I love Christmas - and it was wonderful to see sooo many gorgeous creations being entered this week.

But now comes the hard part - to pick just one winner - and you guys made it hard for us yet again! But as always the DT has come through and picked from all the entries and we hope our winner displays our badge with pride.

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

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #55 {Seasons} - Winner and Top 5

What can I say - we had some FABULOUS entries this week - we've seen the icy cold of Winter, the soft blooms of Spring, the heat of Summer and the fun of the Christmas season all in one week! I think the only thing we were lacking was Autumn with it's vibrant colours. It was also fun to see some of the newest Magnolia seeing some ink - even though most of us Aussies are still waiting for ours we now have some wonderful inspiration when we do get them! And we can't forget the older Magnolias, they are always joy to see and never date.

But now comes the hard part - to pick just one winner - and boy can I tell you it was a close one this week! But as always the DT has come through and picked from all the entries and we hope our winner displays our badge with pride.

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

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #54 {One For The Boys} - Winner and Top 5

WOW I can't believe it's the end of another week - where IS the time going!?!?! It was great to see the amazing array of boy's cards that were entered this week - and the variety of stamps used. It was also fun to see Edwin taking pride of place for a change, along with lions, elephants and pianos - LOL. It was also great to see some fabulous ideas for embellishing boy's cards! It's tough when you can't add heaps of bling and flowers - LOL.

Before I anounce the winner I wanted to let you know that the DT are working hard behind the scenes to come up with some fabulous challlenges for you to play with - we're even having a "sketch-off" amongst the team - sooo much fun - these gals keep me in stitches - LOL.
 
But as always we had to pick a winner and this week the DT has selected THIS fabulous entry as our winner - we hope you display our badge with pride.

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

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #53 {In The News} - Winner and Top 4

Well I guess it wasn't only the design team who had some problems with the challenge this week - but the entries we did get had a wonderful array of ideas I've filed away for if this challenge ever comes up again - LOL. And it's great to see people give something a little tricky a go - after all - that's what a challenge is about! Hopefully tomorrow's challenge won't scare too many people away!
