Magnolia Down Under Challenge #174 Wine Tag

Good morning Magnolia Fans!

Welcome back to our next challenge. 

We are very proud to be sponsored this week by:

Mother and daughter Mary and Andrea have always crafted and found it was becoming more and more difficult to buy very small quantities of good quality ribbon, lace and buttons and embellishments at reasonable prices. We resented having to purchase a full roll when we only needed one metre. We love ribbons, lace and all things pretty and sparkly, so in 2010 we decided to open our own online store and make small or large quantities easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis while Andrea looks after the Ribbon Girl Blog and Design Team. We only stock best quality products and offer products which we would personally buy and use ourselves.  We supply traditional, modern and vintage style ribbon, lace, twine, seam binding, fancy pins, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, plain, striped, polka dot and sparkly buttons, narrow tuille, net and mesh fabric. We stock a huge range of charms, diamante spacers, gems, buckle slides, pearl and crystal flourishes, hearts, gems etc. We also offer a useful range of mulberry flowers, liquid pearls, glossy accents, glitter glue, sticky tape, wool felt squares, plus many other unusual and seasonal accessories and embellishments to card makers, stitchers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. We're happy to send small samples of ribbon, lace and twine are available upon request and if you are planning a wedding or other special occasion we may be able to offer special prices for larger quantities.

The Ribbon Girls are generously giving away this beautiful prize this week:

I wish I could win! It is just stunning!

Our challenge this week:

Make a Wine Tag to Decorate a wine Bottle!

Its great timing too with the festive season around the corner.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #171 Christmas Ornament

Good morning Magnolia Fans!

Welcome back to another fantastic week here at Magnolia Down Under Challenges. 

We have another brilliant sponsor here today, one very close to our heart. 

Please welcome Hjerteboden......

Our DT member Camilla S. started crafting in 2006, and after that the interest has just grown bigger and bigger for each year.
So big, that the interest has actually spread to her husband! 
But he is not making cards yet, just selling the equipment! Something that is very handy for Camilla;) And she also has her says in what goods they lead.
In October 2010 her husband, Bjarne, started the Norwegian web shop Hjerteboden.
He started out small, but now the inventories with beautiful crafting equipment has grown bigger along with more customers.
Hjerteboden aim to have low prices on equipment for cardmaking/scrapbooking,
and to be one of the fastest on delivery.
 Most importantly, they want the customer to have a positive experience of shopping in Hjerteboden.
Therefore they work hard to be among the best with customer care.
Hjerteboden are selling quality products from Ranger, Tim Holtz, Magnolia, Piondesign, Majadesign, Sweet Pea Stamps, Stempelglede, Saturated Canary, Prima, 
Wild Orchid Craft, Making Memories, Italeri, Kort & Godt and Spellbinders.
Hjerteboden are mainly shipping inside Norway, and the web shop is in Norwegian.
But they are happy to help foreign costumers as well.

The prize: Tilda with Tag Gifts

Thank you so much Bjarne and Camilla! 

Our challenge this week for you to win this lovely prize:
