MDU Turns 2 blog hop!!!

**Looking for TPS Lil Lad's Release Hop? Click HERE

Hi and welcome to my blog!!
You should be well on your way through the
Magnolia Down Under CHallenges blog hop,
and popped over here from the amazing
SHARON'S BLOG,
if not, you may want to start at ground zero over at
Magnolia Down Under Challenges
so you don't miss out on any of the fun!!

About a year and a half ago, I gave into temptation and bought my first Magnolia stamp, which, naturally, was Tilda with Kitten, and since then, well, I have fallen in love, like so many of us out there have. Shortly after my enrapture, I was asked by the amazing Kellie Winnell to join her Australian Army of talent over at MDUC, becoming their Adopted Aussie, and giving incentive to an evergrowing Maggie addiction!! If you are curious, click here to see What started it all!!

So, as I pay homage to my friends at Magnolia Down Under, and thank you so much for allowing me to join in with the fun Kylie, I return to my first EVA! Tilda with Kitten for my project today!!


For my 2 theme, I have used 2 Magnolia stamps, which incorporate 2 mammals, 2 Magnolia Die Cuts, 2 Design Papers, and 2 types of glitteration!!! Glimmer Mist and Crystal Stickles, the image has been layered, so there are indeed 2.



Some challenges I kept in mind while crafting :)
Bunny Zoe's Monthly Challenge Spring Flowers
Stampin' For The Weekend Springtime
The Pixie Cottage Sketch
Cupcake Crafts Pink Polka Dots!!


Thanks so much for hopping along today, now scit scat sciddadle on over to the mega-talented TANJA'S BLOG for more MDUC blog hoppin' fun!!!


AND BE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS ALONG THE WAY TO BE IN FOR A CHANCE AT THE MDUC MEGA-CANDIES. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE A CANDY THAT I WILL BE DRAWING AT THE END OF THE HOP, IT'S A SPARKLY SURPRISE FOR ONE HAPPY HOPPER WHO LEAVES COMMENTS LIKE A GOOD LIL HOPPER, LOL!!
hugs, stephanne
