As usual you have until Saturday 19th March, 8am Melbourne Australian time to enter.

Two years ago, Kellie had the brilliant idea to start her own Magnolia Challenge blog and brought along Kristy and Debbie as her partners in crime. Since then, the Design Team has grown and we now boast several amazing ladies, some even in the Magnolia Design Team! So thank you Kellie for starting the dream and allowing us to come together to share our love of these amazing Magnolia Stamps!

It is really exciting that we have TWO original Design Team members still with us to celebrate our second birthday - both Debbie P and Kristy. It is a huge achievement to have them both still with us.  Kellie was also intending to join us for our birthday celebraton but she unfortunately has come down with an illness and has had to pull out. Hope you feel better soon Kel!

We have a fabulous blog hop happening with loads of candy on offer from the Design Team! We are thrilled to have special guest appearances from TWO long lost DT members, Jodie

and Stephanne! Thank you so much girls for joining us for our birthday bash!

Magnolia Down Under Challenges has always had a wonderful Design Team - a group to be proud of, both past and present. We just want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have been a member of this fabulous team.

To our current Design Team - you are an amazing group of Ladies. Continually inspiring, both in your creativity and as friends behind the scenes. Thank you so much for everything you do to contribute to our challenge. We wouldn't be here without you.
