Magnolia Down Under Challenge #70

Good morning Magnolia Fans!! Welcome to Magnolia Down Under Challenges # 70.

This week our challenge is probably pretty easy to guess... yes.... it is spooky, it is kooky... it is:


HALLOWEEN *INSPIRED*


We would love to see you make something either Halloween OR inspired by Halloween. We realise that there are a lot of Australians playing here at MDUC and that some of you may not have any Halloween stamps, and that some of you may simply be all Halloween'd out! So we are making the challenge a little more open for you.... if you don't want to make a Halloween project - just be inspired by it. That could mean Halloween colours, Tilda or Edwin in costumes (think of the Fairytale collection) or a 3D project for treats. It is up to you!


Most of the Design Team really got into the Halloween spirit... starting with our wonderful Guest Designer for October, Maria! This is Maria's last week with us and we are very sad to see her go. It has been wonderful having you join us this month Maria!


We also have a new DT Member joining us for the rest of the year, please welcome Sharon Lougheed to the team! Sharon has been a regular participant and winner here at MDUC so we are very pleased to have her on board! Hasn't she made a fantastic project to share with us?



HOW TO JOIN IN...
  • You must have at least one Magnolia stamp on your work, it can be a sentiment, background etc does NOT have to be Edwin or Tilda for your card to be entered..
  • You must add your link in Mr.Linky
  • You MUST add a link to your **direct blog post***.... All entries not doing this will be removed.
  • You should have a link back to the challenge blog in your post.
  • Entries close Mid-day Saturday AES time (see the clock on the side bar)
  • DO NOT link your entry to an old card, even a day before will be removed. Making it fair to all the people that have made a card for the challenge...

But after dealing with customs and having the sniffer dogs around looking for contraband we are proud to announce our winner and top 5.

Congratulations.....
Asa {23}

I'm sure you'll agree her little suitcase it super sweet - and if you check out the extra pictures on Asa's blog you can see all the scrummy marshmallows she's filled it with. You can check out Asa's blog HERE.

Asa could you please email Kylie at kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to collect your winner's badge and let us know if you'd like to be our GDT member for November.

And our fabulous top 5 this week - in numerical order - are....

Lori {24}
Barbara {26}

Congratulations go to you all - make sure you grab our Top 5 badge from the side bar to show all your blog friends just how fantastically clever you all are!!!

Once again we'd like to thank ALL of our wonderful entries for this week and we hope you'll pop back tomorrow morning to check out our next challenge - I know the DT will have some gorgeous eye candy for you too. Until then - Happy Stamping!!!

Congratulations.........

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #66 {Colour Challenge} - Winner and Top 5

At the start of the week we were a bit worried that we had scared a few people off with the colour challenge - but you guys came through and once again WOW'd us with a pile STUNNING entries. I personally didn't get to play with these colours but you have inspired me to try them out sometime soon.

Of course this week we also had the FABULOUS prize on offer from Scrap Matrix so I'm sure you want me to get right to it and announce the winner of this week's challenge and prize. So with a little help from the rest of the gals from the DT we'd like to congratulate......

Camilla {23}

I'm sure you'll agree Camilla has created a STUNNING card using the colours in soft pastels and incorporating some wonderful elements. You can check out more of Camilla's work on her blog HERE.

Camilla please email Kylie on kyliekueter@tpg.com.au to collect your winner's badge and to claim your prize.

We also have a Top 5 - and this was CLOSE - but here they are in numerical order ...

Bente {14}
MHL {17}
Lori {20}
Sue Drees {31}

Congratulations go to you all - make sure you grab our Top 5 badge from the side bar to show all your bloggy friends just how fantastically clever you all are!!!

But of course there were many gorgeous entries and we'd like to thank EVERYONE who took the time to play along - without you we wouldn't be here! And let me tell you - from the sneak peaks I've had for tomorrow's challenge you have to pop back just for the eye candy from the DT! But we don't really just want you to check out our work - we want to see what YOU come up with - sooooooo HAPPY STAMPING and we'll CYA tomorrow for the next challenge!
