Just Magnolia's First Birthday blog hop with a twist

Just Magnolia is one year old!  And to celebrate we are running a blog hop which is being sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.  Apologies but this is a LONG post but read right through, there’s lots going on this week!
Before I get started on this week’s challenge, the winner of the prize kindly sponsored by Jacobi Drachten is number 127 – Bev Parr.  Congratulations Bev, please email us with your address.

Not only are Simon Says Stamp sponsoring the prize for the regular weekly challenge, there is also an amazing prize that has been sponsored by Simon Says Stamp for the blog hop.  This weeks challenge prize is a $20 voucher to spend in their store.  And here’s the prize for the blog hop.  Check out all this yumminess!!

This week we have a fabulous sketch done by Mina – with Thank-You as the optional twist.  For the DT this means a huge thank you to all our lovely followers and entrants each week and also to our amazingly generous sponsors for the fabulous prizes they put up each week.  You need only make a card to enter, some of the DT have made little gifts to go with their cards for a very special recipient, this is not necessary to enter the challenge.
Don’t forget that you can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp you will qualify to be in the draw for the fab prize.  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 8pm UK time next Thursday 22nd April.

The first stop on the hop is Mina so hop on across there now.  Some of the DT have put up their own candy on their blogs, so you stand a chance of not only winning the Just Magnolia prize if you enter the challenge, but hop your way through and you could pick up DT prizes and even win the main prize (see pic above).
Please link your card through Mr Linky and not in the comments box. Please link your BLOG POST and not just your blog to save us having to hunt for your entry. Entries that are not linked to the actual post will unfortunately not qualify to be in the draw for the prize.
