Magnolia Down Under Challenge #194 {Button It Up} - Winner and Top 5

As one of the MDUC DT gals said - "Who knew buttons could look so good?". Well obviously you guys did because we just LOVED the way you used them in your creations this week! They were tied onto ribbons, used in place of bling, used en masse and used as centres of flowers - just to name a few ideas! I have to say I love the crafty inspiration and ideas you guys give us each week. 

The votes this week were spread far and wide across so many beautiful cards but one did manage to come out on top and this week we'd like to congratulate....

Deborah Hughes {32}

What an absolutely gorgeous creation from Deb - her beautiful colouring is just the start! I love the mix of embellishments and the buttons fit in perfectly. This card certainly does make me smile. If you want to see more of Deb's fabulous work you can check out her blog HERE. 

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

We also have an amazing Top Five for you - even though there are six cards listed there are only 5 designers so I thought why not - LOL. These are listed in numerical order and we would like to congratulate...

Katie K {5}

Manuela {6}

Giada {10 and 31}

Anne {22}

Emanuela {39}

The Top 5 picks are all 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.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #193 {Going Green Baby, Recycle} - Winner and Top 5

Isn't is amazing that what some people call rubbish others can see the potential for beauty. It was a lot of fun to see what "rubbish" you guys used on your creations and I can honestly say I saw nothing but gorgeousness in the end results. As always though we can only have one winner and this week we'd like to congratulate....

Emma {11}

Emma used some corrugated cardboard from an old box to cut a bird-cage shape as the base of her creation. And doesn't that old box look amazing all dolled up?!?! The soft colours and touches of bling are just fabulous and I love little Tilda sitting on her perch. If you want to see more of Emma's beautiful work you can check out her blog HERE.
