Week 4 - In Stitches

Wow, what a fab response we had to last weeks sketch challenge, thanks so much to you all for your support once again - we really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing your Magnolia creations.

This week the challenge is for Stitching - now this can be faux stitching, hand stitching, machine stitching, whatever takes your fancy. Some of the DT have done amazing stitching - hand and faux. In fact I struggled to work out what was real stitching and what wasn't on some of them. So if you haven't got a machine please don't be put off, grab a pen and get drawing!!

There is a fab prize this week sponsored by The Glitter Garden header

and the prize winner will also be our Guest Designer for June so get stitching girls!! The prize is a Making Memories Funky Vintage - Lizzie Collection paper pad, a pack of Dovecraft Fibres and set of Terri Conrad Designs journaling cards.
prize-4
The winner will be chosen by Random Generator next week so to be in the running all you need to do is ensure you have at least one Magnolia image on your card and link your card (not your blog) in Mr Linky and have your card posted by 10 pm UK time on the 14th May.

Here's some inspiration from the design team, clicking on the pictures will take you to the team members blog for a closer look at the cards.

Firstly we have a beautiful card made by Anneke who was the lucky winner of last weeks challenge and so is our Guest Designer for May.anneke

Julie said...

These are such gorgeous DT cards and after having been in touch with Rach as to the sewing machine used and other technical questions (like what does a needle look like!, I decided to bite the bullet and try with my machine. But I got so excited by my card I stuck it all together before I had added any stitches! Ooops ! So I had to go for faux this time, but am determined to try my machine!
Thanks for a sooper challenge and a fantastic blog Just Magnolia.

I have added a link to my card, the post is very sparse at the moment, but didn't want to miss the deadline!
Hugs
Julie
