Magnolia-licious carries an extensive line of Regular size Magnolia images and all of the Mini Magnolia stamps. You will find lots of other goodies too, like Magnolia paper, Magnolia Doohickey Dies, stamp supplies, inks and much, much more.

Our prices are amazing, great discounts but we have something else extra special. For every dollar you spend at Magnolia-licious you will receive a 2% cash back credit to your account which you can spend on your next order. When you order $50.00 or more you will receive another 8% off by using the code benefit8. So you are receiving a 10% package. The 8% is not applied to items that are already discounted.

Come and shop and see all we have to offer. Don't forget to use benefit8.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #114 {Inspiration Picture} - Winner and top 5

Well I must say we had another week of gorgeous entries this week but when it came down to voting we did have to take into consideration those that we felt had followed the inspiration picture we had given you - there are many ways to interpret inspiration pictures but some were more obvious than others. Thankfully the fabulous MDUC team came up with a winner and top 5 without too many problems though - though I must admit it came close to a tie. This week we'd like to congratulate.......


Anne {56}

Check out all the gorgeous details Anne has managed to use on this fabulous paper bag. The delicacy of the gauze, and the pinks and greens have been picked up beautifully from the inspiration picture. And I love the texture around Tilda too. If you want to check out more of Anne's amazing work you can check out her blog HERE.

Anne can you please email Kylie at magnoliadownunder@gmail.com to claim your winner's badge and prize.

And now onto this week's Top 5 - we'd like to congratulate these amazing entries....

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #113 {A Sketch} - Winner and top 5

Well I must say Karen's sketch certainly brought out some amazing work from our entrants this week. When I first saw it I honestly loved it but was worried it would be too busy! But I've actually based another card on it already because I loved using it so much - and it appears you did too. Once again it was a tough vote for the MDUC DT gals - but they managed to come up with a winner and this week we would like to congratulate......


Janet {4}

I love all the elements Janet has used in her card. And the way the images are 'cut off ' and the colouring fades out is beautifully done. A truly gorgeous card. If you want to check out more of Janet's amazing work you can check out her blog HERE.

Janet can you please email Kylie at magnoliadownunder@gmail.com to claim your winner's badge and prize.


And now onto this week's Top 5 - but as the entries were so amazing we couldn't narrow it down to just 5 so 
we have a Top 6 again this week! Congratulations....
