Magnolia Down Under Challenge #107

Hello there lovely MAGNOLIA FANS!!

Welcome back to Magnolia Down Under for another FUN and FRIENDLY challenge.

This week we have something a little bit different for you.. this week we are playing:

  • BINGO
Not sure how to play? Well... Its an easy one! All you have to do it ensure your entry has three elements from the bingo card below that line up either across, down or diagonally in a row, eg: Lace, Sparkles and Doo Hickeys. Feel free to add any extras to your card as well, but you need to have three items from a straight row to be eligable for a win or top 5 place. We also ask that you name the items in your chosen line on your blog post so we can easily see which line you have chosen when we're commenting.



Sounds like fun doesn't it? Our Design Team thought so! Lets check out their amazing work....

Hi Everyone,

Well it's been another week full of gorgeous entries and another tough vote for the MDUC DT. The paper tole challenge does seem to confuse a few people though - but Kylie kindly linked some amazing tutorials and I know I personally loved checking them out. We hope you guys did too.

This week we'd like to congratulate our winner......


Allie {45}

Not only has Allie popped a number of Magnolia images up for her 3D effect but she's created a gorgeous fantasy scene in the process. Allie emails her entries to us so unfortunately I can't send you off to her blog to check out more of her amazing work - but we hope she'll keep playing along with us here.

Allie can you please email Kylie at magnoliadownunder@gmail.com to claim your winner's badge. 

And now onto this week's Top 5 (in numerical order) congratulations....


These are linked back to the original entries to make it easier for you guys to go and check them out.
