Week 7 - Animals and Insects

Firstly I must apologise for the problems with Mr Linky - it's been a nightmare trying to keep track of all the entries, so I think until such time as he gets his act together we will go with linking your card in the comments box.

Thanks to all that entered this week, there were some fabulous shaped creations posted. Please pop back later to see who won the two sets of your choice from the amazing selection at The Cutting Cafe.

This week our challenge is Animals and Insects - please feature either/or on your card. The animal or insect does not have to be a Magnolia image - or even a stamp, it could be a die cut, a punch out, a charm, shaped button - anything as long as it is an animal or insect.

This weeks fabulous prize of a Magnolia stamp and flowers prize has been sponsored by

Hobbycompleet "De Duif"

They have a fabulous selection of rubber stamps and punches amongst other crafty goodies..

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 4th June

Here's some inspiration from the design team, starting off with Anneke's card (our GD for May) This is her last week with us as GD, thanks so much for all your wonderful creations Anneke.

The Cutting Cafe'

And the fabulous prize this week is two sets of your choice from the amazing selection at The Cutting Cafe.

The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and Cutting Files. The Cutting Files which are basically just like templates are files that you Print out using your home printer, Cut, Assemble and then Embellish.....Very Easy.....The Cutting Files also come in the format where you can cut out the files using some of the latest Machine Cutters like the Pazzles Inspiration, Bosskut Gazelle and Cricut (with Scal software). The Printable Stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out, you can just color them in like you would any other stamped imaged...One great thing about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you no longer have to worry about finding space to store all of your stamps....You can keep them all in a folder in your computer and use over and over again.

The DT were supplied with a set of shaped templates to play with and they have come up with some brilliant cards using the templates

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 28th May.
