It's the last Sunday of the month so time for a new Magnolia Only Challenge here at The Ribbon Girl blog and for this challenge we would like you to 'add pearls', 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
