WOW, thank you to all that join in and follow along with us. We are really excited to being weekly again now. We have always wanted to, but didn’t think we could keep up and then I thought we have such a big DT base what if we were to split in 2 and the girls LOVED the idea and it’s good news for you to, not only do you get a weekly challenge now for all you girls that are hanging out every fortnight, but we can now take on 2 guests every month!
Moving onto the prize this week. This week we have a mixture of a prize, a little something to help make a gorgeous card, I made the pack full of some of my favourite things….. Magnolia Papers, Magnolia Stamp ( I just LOVE her, she is perfect for birthday cards, thank you cards, late birthday cards), Flowers and Lace…. 
Whats the challenge this week? It’s a gorgeous colour theme this week for you all….
-
Grey & Pink
This doesn’t mean your WHOLE card has to be Grey and Pink only, if you want to have flowers, ribbons go right on ahead as long as it’s based around it, your in!
HOW TO JOIN IN…
- Your card MUST have a Magnolia stamp to join in. Doesn’t have to be a Tilda or Edwin, it can be a butterfly, background, table, animal etc, as long as it’s made by Magnolia.

MDUC Changes & DT Announcement
well have we got some exciting changes to tell you about. We have decided to go back to WEEKLY!! challenges YAYAYAY. But rather then making extra work or stress for our fabulous DT we have decided to split the DT into 2 groups. So this weekend will be our last challenge as a whole group together. As of next week Group 1 will be first and then Group 2. So what does this mean for us? It means its still like fortnightly challenges for the DT! But what does this mean for you??? You get a chance every WEEK at winning a fabulous prize when you enter our challenges yippeee!!! We are all very excited about the changes, each group will have 5 DT and then our monthly guest DT will be in both groups and play weekly for the month they are with us 
Before I announce our 2 newest DT members {yes because of our split groups we decided to take 2} I wanted to thank everyone who applied and sent emails to Kell and I. We wish we could take you all on there is so much talent out there so dont give up. So the 2 ladies who will be joining us for 6 months starting from February are………………..
We are super excited to have them join us, both these ladies are so talented which Im sure you will agree when you check out their blogs by clicking on their names. We have also asked our guest Fran to stay with us for 6 months yay!
Dont forget Sunday 31st is our next challenge, make sure you come check it out and get ready to play along, and dont forget we will be weekly!!
See you back here on Sunday

- To comment on the other DT girls card listed on their blog for the current challenge. Sometimes I think we get left out being the DT and having our cards on the actual challenge blog. But we all still put in the effort to join in.
- To have your card loaded for the next challenge to photo bucket no later than Saturday mid-day before the challenge. Saturday night at the VERY latest and only if I’m informed first.
