Magnolia Down Under Challenge #64 {Shaped Cards} - Winner and Top 5

Before I announce our winner for the week I have to thank the gorgeous Karen for filling in for me organising the voting for the winners over the last 2 weeks while I was away - she did an AMAZING job and I very nearly left her to keep going with it - hehehehehe...

You guys certainly came up with some STUNNING fancy fold cards and yet again made it tough for us to decide on our winner and top 5. We are sooo grateful for all the effort you guys go to for our challenge - it makes our decision hard but we get to look at all the eye candy and be inspired by you along the way!

But I'm sure you don't want me to keep chatting on - you want to know who our winner and top 5 are! This week congratulations go to our winner........

Sharon Lougheed {32}

I'm sure you'll agree Sharon has come up with an amazing side step card with the teapot shaker using real tea leaves! You can check more of Sharon's amazing work out on her blog HERE.

Sharon - please email Kylie on kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to collect your winner's badge.

Now onto our Top 5 - and unlike Karen I haven't been able to get the list down to only 5 - so here are our top 6....in numerical order

Nela {2}

Cordine {5}

Karita {8}

Gudrun {22}

Linda-Pysselbus {23}

Asa {31}

Congratulations Girls - make sure you grab our Top 5 badge from the side bar, to show all your bloggy friends just how fantastically clever you all are!!!

Thanx go to everyone who played along with us this week and we hope you'll pop back tomorrow to check out our next fun challenge. In the meantime - HAPPY STAMPING!

Good bye and Hello to our New Design Team Members

Hello Magnolia Fans!

I know we said that we would announce our new Design Team members tomorrow, but we were so excited that we had to do it a day early.

First of all, we would like to thank each and every one of you who applied. There is some serious talent out there! And we were honoured that you wanted to join us.

On a sad note however, one of our current members, Ellen had to step down for family reasons. Thank you so much for your time with us Ellen. It was certainly a pleasure to work with you. We wish you the best of luck for the future and we will certainly be visiting you regularly to view your amazing creations.

This did make the decision for our new members just a little bit less difficult though as it meant that we were able to choose four of you instead of three.

So I think we've kept you in suspense long enough! Our new Design Team members are:

Denise

Debbie Dolphin

Camilla

Tara G

Congratulations Ladies! We look forward to working with you over the next three months. Could you please email Kylie on kyliekueter at tpg dot com dot au for all of the details.

To everyone who missed out this time, we wish we could have asked you all to join us. Please don't be discouraged as there will be more opportunities in the future to come and be a part of our Design Team. We thank you all for applying, it really was a difficult task to make this decision.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #63

Good morning Magnolia Fans!! And welcome to another Magnolia Down Under Challenge.

Before we kick off this week's challenge, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who applied in the DT call. Wow, we really have a tough job ahead of us this week choosing our new DT members - but stay tuned for the announcement!

Now for the challenge! This week is a:

SKETCH CHALLENGE!

Not so long ago we have a little "sketch off" within the Design Team to create some fresh new sketches for you and then we voted for our favourites. The sketch we have for you this week is by our DT member Kathrin. Thanks Kathrin for a really fun and challenging sketch to play with.

We also have Louise joining us for the next four weeks as our Guest DT member. Hasn't she done a fantastic job with the sketch? Thank you Louise! Be sure to pop past her blog and leave her a comment!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #61 {A Recipe} - Winner and Top 5

One of the great thing about recipes is that it gives you a starting place for your card - and isn't it amazing the completely different directions the same recipe can take people!!! Once again we were delighted to inspire such fabulous creations by all our entrants - especially as you guys in turn inspire us.

Once again we had to make a tough decision to pick just one winner - and once again the votes were close! We hope our winner displays our winner's badge with pride and we'd like to invite her to be our GDT for September - and this week we'd like to congratulate......

Louise {16}

I'm sure you'll agree Louise has created a gorgeous card using the recipe - she's incorporated some wonderful textures with these fabulous images. To see more of her work check out her blog HERE.

Louise - Please email Kylie at kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to collect your Winner's Badge and let us know if you'd like to be our Guest DT for the next 4 weeks.
