I cannot believe it. The Magnolia images are those adorable kids without the faces. I mean, they have faces but they are "different". Anyway, I came across their blog a couple of weeks ago and the whole website is in Swedish (I think its Swedish) and i could barely read it. Well, I stumbled across the part in English where it reads Now taking applications for Design Team and it named USA as a country. So I thought "what the heck!? Let's try it". I sent in a photo of myself (lord only knows if its a good photo) and info about myself and I just got an email saying "I was accepted and to send my address" for free stuff. WOO HOO. I am so excited!!! This is one of the cards I submitted here!!!!

How exciting Sherri. I am so proud of you. I don't have any Magnolia stamps but I love their images. These are the ones Marja does quite frequently.

Awesome - I can't wait to hear what they send you to play with :)

I have been wanting to order some of their stamps for a long time - after seeing all of Marja's work - but can't navigate their website enough to figure it out :)

I have used a free translator website in the past and if I can find the dang site I may cut and paste some of their text to see what it translates to. I'm maxed out today so it will have to wait - I'm on my way to pick up a work visitor from the train station. Go figure he's from Austria and not Sweden :)

Congrats! You do great with their stamps so it's a perfect fit.

Congrats Sherri! You're lucky, I love their images and would have loved to be on their DT...

If anyone wants to order the stamps, my LSS has the ones Sherri used for her cards (and I have them too) as I taught a class at my LSS with them and had Angela from A Happy Stamper order them for me. She had to order six of each item in order to get her first stores order.

Sherri you can use a website translator to read it. It is a very interesting site and you were right on the swedish. I used the one at http://www2.worldlingo.com and then selected the website translate tab and went swedish to english. Of course some stuff doesn't translate as it has no english counterpart but it was good enough to read and get the gist of the site. Congratulations!!! Sounds like tons of fun. You will have to keep us informed on the details those are super cute images!!!
