Magnolia Down Under Challenge #97 {Christmas in May} - Winner and Top 5

Well it seemed we managed to get a few of you into the festive spirit with our early Christmas challenge - and just think - that's one card all finished and ready to go when Christmas mailing time sneaks up on us! There were some truly gorgeous entries again this week - from the conventional take on Christmas through to some marvellously less traditional styles. For someone like me who lurves Christmas it was a fabulous week to check out the entries! But unfortunately Blogger has been misbehaving again and there have been some issues with leaving comments - so apologies.

Now it's time to announce our wonderful winner and this week we'd like to congratulate......

Hanne A {28}

I just love the elegance of this gorgeous design - from the beautiful layout and papers to the fabulous colours. If you want to see more of Hanne's work you check out her amazing blog HERE.

And now onto this week's Top 5 (in numerical order) - congratulations....

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #97

Good Morning Magnolia Fans!

Gosh, last week's challenge certainly proved to us that Magnolia stamps are your favourite things :) And guess what? Ours too. We just love seeing you all come back each week - and to see the new faces as well! If you are new here, a big welcome to you!

This week's challenge is a little bit out of season :) This week we are celebrating:

• CHRISTMAS IN MAY

Sound like fun? Well... we thought so too! Some of our group 2 girls have decided to join in and play with Group 1 this week.  And with the gorgeous Merry LIttle Christmas release which saw us all spending our money on stamps rather than pressies (hehehe), it felt like a good opportunity to ink up some rubber that maybe didn't get much use last Christmas.

Lets take a look at our festive Design Team creations:

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #96 {Your Favourite Things} - Winner and Top 5

Well it seemed like a lot of you enjoy having the freedom to use your favourite things - and we loved seeing what you came up with. But you did cause us a problem - there were sooo many gorgeous entries to go through - but no stress - it's the sort of problem we LOVE with one of the DT commenting "Where is all this talent coming from??" and another saying "Might try and do some crafting, feeling a bit inspired now". With all these amazing entries we had a tough time narrowing it down to just one winner and a Top 5 - but we managed it and this week we'd like to congratulate.....

Natalie Z {17}

Isn't this an AMAZING step card with 3 gorgeous Tilda's and fabulous details! If you want to see more of Natalie's work you check out her amazing blog HERE.

Natalie can you please email Kylie at kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to claim your winner's badge.

And now onto this week's Top 5 (in numerical order) - congratulations....

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #95 {So Krafty} - Winner and Top 5

Before I announce our winner and top 5 for this challenge we have an apology to make. Here at MDUC we pride ourselves on leaving each and every entry a little love - after all - you've made the effort to create something fabulous for us to enjoy. Unfortunately with Blogger crashing for a large portion of Friday many of the MDUC DT were unable to pop in and comment. We also apologise to anyone who had created something for this challenge but were unable to upload it before the Inlinkz closed. Although we must applaud Ashlee's initiative for emailing Kylie her entry while blogger was down - I don't think I would have thought of that - LOL. This event was completely out of our control but we'd still like to make our apologies.

That being said we did have some GORGEOUS "krafty" entries to drool over - and it's been a REALLY close vote - I know I say that every week but you guys do make it tough! But I've prattled on long enough - this week we'd like to congratulate our winner.......

Chris {15}

I just love the fabulous shape of Chris' gatefold card and the luminescent blue of Tilda's dress - she looks adorable sitting in her little garden. If you want to see more of Chris' work you check out her amazing blog HERE.

Chris can you please email Kylie at kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to claim your winner's badge and prize.

And now onto this week's Top 5 (in numerical order) - congratulations....

Karita {13}

And thanx to EVERYONE who entered - thank you - your work was truly gorgeous!

Don't forget to pop back tomorrow morning and check out our new challenge - I'm not even sure what it is so I'm looking forward to checking out the gorgeous work from our DT in the morning too - LOL.
