February Magnolia Only Challenge ....

Most of you may know  of the sad loss on 17th February of Roy, beloved and loving husband of Mary and adored Dad of Andrea - the Ribbon Girl store will remain closed for a short while until they feel more able to deal with it.  They would like to take this opportunity to thank their wonderful design team who have showered them with love and messages of condolance on their sad loss.

Add Lace

Our 'Magnolia Only' challenge this month is very easy - we'd like to see lace on your projects featuring Tilda, Edwin or a Doohickey die, and of course we have two fabulous prizes from our regular sponsors - a Magnolia stamp all the way from the home of Edwin and Tilda kindly donated by Magnolia of Sweden and a £10 voucher towards a spending spree at The Ribbon Girl

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our fabulous 'Magnolia Only' Design Team have created some lovely cards to inspire you! I'm sure you will agree they have surpassed themselves with these wonderful projects. Remember that all of the products mentioned under each project can be found in the Ribbon Girl Store.  This month we are delighted to give a very warm welcome to our guest designer Diana Adamski

As usual our rules are simple - create a new project that follows the theme of the challenge (it must include a Tilda or Edwin stamp or a Doo Hickey die because this is our Magnolia challenge), blog about it mentioning our challenge then use the InLinkz button at the bottom of this post to add a direct link to your project.
