Happy Saturday everyone!  This week has been busy and I have spent a lot of it getting orders ready.  Seems like there were a lot of people looking to try the new Magnolia flowers.  I actually will be placing another order for flowers soon and will be getting some of the new gardenias and the ruffled cherry blossoms.

So let’s start things off with our January winner.  I would like to congratulate…….

DONNA C

Thanks to everyone who participated in our January challenge.

And now on to our February challenge!

This is a pretty short month and we have had a late start.  The challenge will be pretty easy:  create a traditional Magnolia card (Swedish style).  Yup, throw on some ribbon, flowers, charms, lots of layers and post it below by midnight EST on February 28th.

Want to know what’s in it for you?  Well, aside from creating a personal masterpiece  the winner of the February challenge will be invited to participate as the Stamp Shoppe’s guest DT for the month of April.

• Prima pearls
• Love charm from Michael’s
