Magnolia Down Under Challenge #70

Good morning Magnolia Fans!! Welcome to Magnolia Down Under Challenges # 70.

This week our challenge is probably pretty easy to guess... yes.... it is spooky, it is kooky... it is:

HALLOWEEN *INSPIRED*

We would love to see you make something either Halloween OR inspired by Halloween. We realise that there are a lot of Australians playing here at MDUC and that some of you may not have any Halloween stamps, and that some of you may simply be all Halloween'd out! So we are making the challenge a little more open for you.... if you don't want to make a Halloween project - just be inspired by it. That could mean Halloween colours, Tilda or Edwin in costumes (think of the Fairytale collection) or a 3D project for treats. It is up to you!

Most of the Design Team really got into the Halloween spirit... starting with our wonderful Guest Designer for October, Maria! This is Maria's last week with us and we are very sad to see her go. It has been wonderful having you join us this month Maria!

MARIA

We also have a new DT Member joining us for the rest of the year, please welcome Sharon Lougheed to the team! Sharon has been a regular participant and winner here at MDUC so we are very pleased to have her on board! Hasn't she made a fantastic project to share with us?

We've been to Paris, the snow and out to sea - as well as sitting around with suitcases and decorating suitcases. But after dealing with customs and having the sniffer dogs around looking for contraband we are proud to announce our winner and top 5.

Congratulations.....

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #68 {A Sketch} - Winner and Top 5

It was sure an exciting week for me - this was the first sketch I have ever drawn up and to see sooo many wonderful entries using it added a special personal element when I was checking out the eye candy on offer. I'm sooo glad I don't have to select the winner by myself because I would want to pick you ALL! Thankfully the DT all voted and came up with this week's winner.

Congratulations.........

 Annica {25}

Look at all those luscious Christmas details - and how great to see Edwin on a winning card!

WOW - it's been ANOTHER amazing week full of inspiring entries and I have to tell you even the DT had trouble deciding on a winner.

I believe this week saw our youngest entrant ever and we'd like to give her a little encouragement by presenting her with a Junior Achievement Award ...

Congratulations to 4 year old Daisy Lou {26}

Now onto our winners for this week - and like I said before we have TWO winners so here they are ...

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #66 {Colour Challenge} - Winner and Top 5

At the start of the week we were a bit worried that we had scared a few people off with the colour challenge - but you guys came through and once again WOW'd us with a pile STUNNING entries. I personally didn't get to play with these colours but you have inspired me to try them out sometime soon.

Of course this week we also had the FABULOUS prize on offer from Scrap Matrix so I'm sure you want me to get right to it and announce the winner of this week's challenge and prize. So with a little help from the rest of the gals from the DT we'd like to congratulate......

Camilla {23}

I'm sure you'll agree Camilla has created a STUNNING card using the colours in soft pastels and incorporating some wonderful elements. You can check out more of Camilla's work on her blog HERE.

Camilla please email Kylie on kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to collect your winner's badge and to claim your prize.

We also have a Top 5 - and this was CLOSE - but here they are in numerical order ...

Jeanet {2}

Bente {14}

MHL {17}

Lori {20}

Sue Drees {31}

Congratulations go to you all - 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!!!

But of course there were many gorgeous entries and we'd like to thank EVERYONE who took the time to play along - without you we wouldn't be here! And let me tell you - from the sneak peaks I've had for tomorrow's challenge you have to pop back just for the eye candy from the DT! But we don't really just want you to check out our work - we want to see what YOU come up with - sooooooo HAPPY STAMPING and we'll CYA tomorrow for the next challenge!
