 The challenge is to only use PAPER on your projects!!

That’s right—nothing but paper on those projects! 

So all your main elements should be made with paper only, no fabric, no metals, no wood elements!  And yes if you are like some of the  DT and you happen to use a few glitter or flock products its ok—but everything else should be PAPER!!

Now see details on how to play, prizes and the DT’s inspiration for you below!

How to Play:
-Enter your PAPER ONLY PROJECT into the link system below by August 31st at 8 pm EST.
-Must use at least (1) one Magnolia image on your project
-Everything on your project should be made of paper (you are allowed to use glitter, lacquer or flock products on the paper if you must lol)

What You Can Win:
 -a $25 Gift Certificate to Magnolia-licious

May 2011 DT Sketch!

Hello Magnolia friends!  They say April showers bring May flowers and I must say that Virginia is all green and blossomed and so very pretty right now.  Don't you just love Spring?  To me it means windows wide open (even with the pollen), pots of flowers on the patio, bike rides and lots of grilling outside!  A beautiful time of the year that's for sure and May is my favorite month (maybe because its my birthday month, lol)!

**NOTE: The winners of the Easter-Spring Extravaganza Contest have been announced by Diana and you can find a complete list at the end of this post!  Congrats to all the winners, you were all deserving!  ***

The winner of the April DT Challenge hosted by the lovely Sharon Caudle is..................
