Challenge #220 Ying Chooses

Good morning Magnolia Fans!
Are you ready for some more creative fun? 

First, we're excited to again introduce Magnolia Stamps as our sponsor:

Magnolia Stamps, based in Boras Sweden, really don't need much of an introduction.
They are the reason this little challenge blog is here and the reason you are all out there crafting and blogging away. They make us all happy and I know we all eagerly anticipate the arrival of each new collection so we can start dreaming up new scenes with the magnificent new stamps.
We are delighted to have them sponsor us this week.

Thank you so much Magnolia!
There is going to be one very happy crafter out there very soon when they win your amazing "Secret Prize Package" from this challenge...

For something different, our Design Team Members have picked their favourite Challenge themes for you to play along with, we all hope that you will like our choices as they are our all time favourite things to do!!!.

This week we have Ying, and her favourite thing to use and do is:

Autumn Vintage

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #218 {Christmas In October} - Winner and Top 5

They tell us that Christmas comes but once a year but luckily for Christmas tragics like myself we can sneak in a bit of festive fun whenever we like - and this time it's in October! Of course we cardmakers HAVE to get our cards done early anyway so we are more than happy to help you out ;) . And WHAT AMAZING creations we had entered this week....it was a REALLY tough vote for the team and I was glad I just tally the votes because I would have had trouble narrowing it down! Luckily the gals came through and this week we'd like to congratulate.....


Ash B {21}

It's the little things that take this card to the next level. Ash's use of texture and shapes combine beautifully with her amazing colouring and mix of images. And then there's the secret little tag with it's own whimsy - adorable! If you want to see more of Ash's work you can check out her blog HERE.

Ash 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 - and trust me there were many many others chasing these ones for a spot! These are listed in numerical order and we would like to congratulate...


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.
