July Magnolia Only Challenge

Hello, are you enjoying some sunshine where you live?  We had a lovely day with our teamie Becky Hetherington and her lovely daughter Grace - a little bit of crafting, a colouring masterclass with Becky, lots of nice food and good company - who could ask for more!  We're currently enjoying blue skies and lots of sunshine up here in Newcastle, it's been absolutely gorgeous.  Our 'Magnolia Only' challenge is a bit different - this month we would like you to 'make a tag', of course it is our MAGNOLIA challenge so you obviously need to use a Tilda or Edwin stamp or a Doohickey die, and of course we have two fabulous prizes from our regular sponsors - a Magnolia stamp all the way from the home of Edwin and Tilda kindly donated by Magnolia of Sweden and a £10 voucher towards a spending spree at The Ribbon Girl

Our usual rules apply - make a new project please that fits the current challenge (make a tag), no backlinking to older projects, then blog about it mentioning this challenge and use the InLinkz button at the end of the post to leave your link.
