There certainly are some gorgeous looking sentiments and fabulous quotes to play with aren't there - and some amazing ideas too. After enjoying all of your fabulous work we'd like to congratulate this week's winner.......

Not only is Liz's poem super sweet but the scene she created around it is just gorgeous! I've always loved blue and white for Christmas and the addition of the browns takes it to another level. Wonderful details finish everything off just right! If you want to check out more of Liz's fabulous work you can check out her blog HERE.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #121 {Charms and Bling} - Winner and top 5

Before I get on with today's winner's post I'd like to thank Karen for filling in for me last week - she always does such a fab job when called on to help out.

Now with respect to this week's entries you certainly charmed us with some gorgeous creations and fun ways to bling up your creations. You guys continue to inspire us to keep working on new ways to play with our Magnolia stamps and dies. I always found entering challenges was a fabulous way to make me think about new ways to create and I hope you guys find that too.

We apologise that we didn't list our sponsor for this week - our scheduled sponsor had a personal tragedy and we didn't want to bother her. However we do have a little prize for our wonderful winner and after a close vote we'd like to congratulate ....


Sirpaliina {12}

I think the contrast between the red and white goes so beautifully with the fabulously coloured Tilda. The mushroom and pearl charms are delightful with the touches of gold - showing charms and bling can be subtle additions in a layout. If you want to check out more of Sirpaliina's work you can check out her blog HERE.

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