Challenge 8-Wishing you well!

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.

~*~ 6 ~*~ Recycling Mothers

Its Prize Time!!!

Hi everybody im so thrilled to see some new faces last week entering the challenges,

This is week an extra special week for us!
Firstly one of the Design Team Members has chosen the Theme this week But there is a twist! myself & A couple of Other Design Team members really wanted to do Mother's Day Early, So The Theme will be Mother's Day and ALSO we are using Deb's Theme ,


Here is what Deb is asking you all to do this week...

I have had lots of ideas but the one I like the most is Recycling! Because I am a huge recycling freak I thought it would be good to have a challenge where you have to use an item that has had a former life.
It could be a piece of card or paper from some packaging, cereal box card made into chipboard letters or shapes, ribbon taken from an article of clothing or chocolate box, old buttons taken from a garment etc.

So This week we would love to see your Mothers Day Art Work involving Recycling along with of course Magnolia stamps.

Now there is For the " Special bit of the challenge"

Wow thats alot of baby art work last week wasn't it!
Well done all that joined in.

This weeks challenge is your choice!.....

You can Either Chose to do a ROMANCE Or you can chose to do BUCKLE
As we have all decided there is way too many valentines Challenges out at the moment some people may be sick them already, or if you anything like me you only send 1 Romance/Valentine Card so don't want to make more than you need too.

So For ROMANCE,

We would love to see your Romance Art Work, Could be a valentine card or could be just something Romantic, I Don't think we need to go into detail on this one , but As long as your work is " Romantic " & Of course includes the use of Magnolia stamps, Any Form of artwork will count be it a Scrapbook page, Altered Art etc or a Card!

Here is the Design Teams Work for Romance....

Now For BUCKLE,

We would love to see your Buckle Art Work, So buckle up and go with the flow!, You could use a buckle for a ribbon slider, you could make a buckle from scratch as a closer on a card? Or perhaps use a old Belt buckle? Once again any form of artwork counts aslong as it includes "buckle" & Magnolia stamp(s).

Here is the Design Teams Work for Buckle...
