Magnolia Down Under Challenge #134 {Kylie's Sketch} - Winner and Top 5

WOW didn't Kylie come up with an AWESOME sketch for you all this week - and you guys certainly created some gorgeous projects with it. I loved the variety of shapes, it was the perfect reminder that square isn't the only way to go and yet the sketch was also used magnificently within the square too. So without further ado our winner had been chosen and this week we'd like to congratulate.......


Sirpaliina {46}

 Sirpaliina's colouring, colour combination and details are simply gorgeous, and I love the touch of bling she's given Viking Tilda too. I must admit I'm also a little jealous she's got some of the latest stamps - we gals from "Down Under" still have a little wait before this gorgeous collection hits our sunburnt shores. If you want to see more of Sirpaliina's amazing work you can check out her blog HERE.

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

And now it's onto this week's Top 5. These are listed in numerical order and we'd like to congratulate these amazing entries - awesome job everyone....


These are linked back to the original entries to make it easier for you guys to go and check them out. Please grab our Top 5 badge from the sidebar and display it proudly on your blog to let everyone know how fabulous we think your work is! Don't forget to pop back tomorrow morning and check out our next challenge and meet our newest GDT.
