Magnolia Down Under Challenge #180 {Recipe} - Winner and Top 5

Each and every week you get to hear me say WOW about the quality of the entries we get here so this time I thought I'd share what one of my fabulous teamies had to say... "Gosh these ladies are talented! I'm feeling a little envious of them all" ... and those words come from the uber talented Kylie Keuter who many of us admire and feel envious of!

Once again it's been an incredibly close vote but this week we'd like to congratulate our winner.....

Jenny Hodges {40}

I just love it when I get reminded of the older Magnolia stamps and how fabulous they are. Jenny has created such a gorgeous scene here mixing a newer Tilda with the older piano - I can almost hear the music! All the details tie the theme of her scene together brilliantly - from the tag with the word "fame" on, to the charm and the fabulous musical note ribbon. And the colours are just stunning! If you want to check out more of Jenny's amazing work you can check out her blog HERE.

Jenny can you please contact us at magnoliadownunder@gmail.com to claim your winner's badge and prize. 

We also have another amazing Top 5 for you. These are listed in numerical order and we would like to congratulate...

Ash Bellinger {5}

G'day Magnolia fans!!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #179 {Flowers} - Winner and Top 5

Another week of GORGEOUS entries - I guess you guys must love adding flowers to your cards as much as I do - LOL. This week I told the gals that I thought they had the harder job - they get to vote for their favourites and I just tally the votes. It was sooo hard to narrow it down again this week - our lovely teamie Debbie Dolphin even said with "the quality (of entries) it's getting harder and harder to decide!". But as far as we are concerned KEEP IT UP - we LOVE it!

After a very tight vote this week we'd like to congratulate our winner.....

Karita {6}

The thing that caught my eye was not only Karita's amazing layout and colouring but check out the gorgeous Tilda charm she added in the bottom right corner - isn't it fabulous!!! I love the layered butterflies too - gives them a sense of lightness and movement. If you want to see more of Karita's amazing work you can check out her blog HERE.

Karita can you please contact us at magnoliadownunder@gmail.com to claim your winner's badge and prize. 

We also have another amazing Top 6 for you, there is no way we could narrow it down any further - in fact I really am starting to think we need to change out badge to a Top 6 - LOL! These are listed in numerical order and we would like to congratulate...

Ash Bellinger {7}

Melly {24}

Alby {98}

Mandy {100}

Franz {135}

Audhild {136}

The Top 6 picks are are linked back to the original entries to make it easier for you guys to go and check them out. Please grab our gorgeous Top 5 badge from the sidebar and display it proudly on your blog to let everyone know how fabulous we think your work is! 

Thanks so much for joining us all this week and we hope you'll pop back in a few hours time to check out the next challenge. Now finger's crossed THIS post doesn't disappear on me like last week's one did!

Challenge # 178 {Anything Goes} - REPEAT POST - Winner and Top 5

So OK - last week I wrote up a post announcing our fabulous winner and TOP from our Anything Goes challenge which ran over the Holiday break. I KNOW some of you saw it as we had comments - which are STILL here - and lots of views - BUT it seems to have gone MISSING!!! In our post list it was back in draft mode but had been re-labelled ready for our NEXT challenge, rescheduled AND written over - VERY STRANGE!!!! I have a feeling Blogger has a few gremlins playing in the system because no-one on our team had anything to do with the weirdness happening. I just wanted to mention it to you all in case those gremlins come visiting YOU. I also wanted to make sure our FABULOUS winner and Top 5 had been seen by everyone - luckily I hadn't thrown out the voting list!

So once again - here they are......

Our incredible winner.....

Silvie {40}

And our amazing Top 6 - in numerical order and linked back to their entries....

Gro T {19}

Tracy Payne {39}

Karita {58}

Manuela {71}

Lillemor {110}

Vicky {203}

I'll be back in a few hours to announce the Winner and Top 5 of our FLOWERS Challenge once I've tallied all the votes.......
