*Challenge 37*
This week its Spend Spend Spend...............
No SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!!

This week i would like you to make your work on a budget ,
The work must not cost no more than £1 $2/1.26euro to make.
This time of Year it is always “pennies are tight” people are trying to be good and save,
Please state on your Blog The costs of the items used & the price of each item and then give your work a total cost to make,
But remember not to spend no more than £1($2/1.26euro)on your make.
Of course your stamps, Tools, Pens/ink/pencils etc are excluded from the Costs along with your glue,
But anything you can see on your work must have a price list

Here is an Example of how to work out the costs:
30 cards cost you £5 ($10), So you have used 1 card blank on your project which works out at £0.17p
Another example:Paper pack was £5.98p for 60 sheets per pack – you have used 1 sheet which costs £0.10p
If you used half a sheet that cost you £0.05p
Example of your Total Cost for the above items is:So for 1 sheet and 1 cardblank used, so far the cost would be £0.27p

I hope this is all clear for you all,
And if you have any problems or unsure then please do get in touch Please remember your work must include at least one or more Magnolia Stamped images.

We hope you enjoyed this weeks challenge as much as we all did.

This is because i have been notified by a couple of people and seen for my own eyes! some people have been taking the work from this blog,
and using it on there own or uploading all the Design Teams work to a Photobucket account of there own and then Copying the work!
This is breaking Copyright Rules Please Do not do this without Permission from the Design Team Members who work you would like to use/Copy/Snag etc
As a Result of this i will be placing all work on Slideshows now to make it a little harder for those people.

To see the work in more detail you can do this by clicking on the Design Team member on the link in the sidebar.
Or you click Click on the Slideshow that will then take you to a bigger slideshow which will show the work in more detail.

As for the Slidehsow as i been so busy and still am this week by looks things , I will be doing little bit of this tonight and you will have it up by Monday, So sorry for the delay once again.
But its only ickle me on my own that runs this blog , and i can only stretch myself so far lol

Now i have some sad News, Kristine will be leaving us as of this week, she's been poached by a Stamp Company and is being asked to be on there Design Team & nobody else's, Which is Great for kristine and so sad for us, I'm sure I'm not alone here when i say, We will mess having you on here.
and good luck with the New Design Team that you going to be in.

Now for this weeks challenge......

Decoupage Tilda & Co

Now for this week..... I would love to see you decoupage with your magnolia stamps.

This could be as simple as having a Tilda or Edwin, that is holding something, you then stamp that image out twice, cut out the item he/she is holding and then layer it up with foam pads or silicone glue, to give a 3d effect

Or you could go totally wild and build up lot’s of layers.

Please remember your work could be a card, Layout(scrapbook page) Atc, Altered Item, anything you like! alsong as your work has Magnolia Stamp on there somewhere.

Below is the Design Teams Work......

Emma
(you will have to excuse emmas her Tilda was 3d but the glue dried all flat etc, and she didn't have time to correct this as it was a card for a Family member who's in hospital @ moment - Hope you don't mind me explaining/sharing Emma but it is such a lovely card i thought it needed showing off still)

~~Challenge 10~~ From Boys to Men!

Many thanks to those of you who participated in last week's challenge, we loved all of your lovely spring and easter cards and projects!

The challenge this week is

~*~ Challenge 10~*~

From Boys to Men!

Making feminine cards with Tilda etc is fairly easy so we thought we would make the challenge a little harder this week, well I gave you 2 easy ones lately!

You could something for a new baby boy, birthday boy or the tougher challenge something for the man in your life!

Don't forget to link your work and leave us a comment here.

Have fun!

Below are some examples from our fantastic design team to give you some inspiration!

~~Challenge 9~~ Spring is in the Air!

Many thanks to all of you who participated in last week's challenge, your work was amazing, there were so many great ideas!

I hope the UK mums are all enjoying their Mother's Day and hope the cards you made for your mums a few weeks ago were all well received!

Now, onto this week's challenge!

~*~*~ Challenge 9 ~*~*~

Spring is in the Air!

As spring is almost upon us, the first signs are there now, the spring bulbs, the baby lambs are out already, I thought it was time to get those spring and Easter projects under way!

You could make an Easter card, a gift box for Easter eggs or other goodies, alter a flowerpot for some spring flowers or a spring themed card or layout. Absolutely anything, as long as it has at least one Magnolia stamped image and follows the theme!

Have fun creating!

To join in simply leave us a comment on this post with a link to your blog/work!

Here are some examples from the fabulous design team to get you started!

Challenge 8-Wishing you well!

2008-02-24T10:08:00.015Z

Thank you all for participating in last week's challenge your work was fantastic!

As some of you may already know, poor Donna has hurt her back so I am helping out with the challenges while she recuperates. Get well soon Donna!

Now onto this week's challenge - Wishing you well!

I thought it would be very apt to have a get well challenge this week, not only is Donna out of action but there seems to be a lot of colds and other viruses doing the rounds just now.

You could make a Get Well card or a mini book, an altered item or gift box, anything really that would cheer up a sick friend or relative!

Don't forget to include at least 1 Magnolia stamp on your work along with the theme! To play along just leave a comment leaving a link to your card! If you don't have a blog or other means to display your work you can email me debrout26@aim.com and I will try to put them on here, but please only use this option if you don't have any other alternative!

Here are some great examples from the DT for inspiration.
