Monday Treasury Challenge w/KathleenCavalaro!

A big shout out and congratulations to our fearless leader, kathleencavalaro, who won the voting for last week's treasury challenge!

Her reward?

You guessed it! Let's get busy making treasuries featuring her item! The item we're going to use this week is one I picked personally because I just think it's so cool.

But since they sold out so quickly (congrats, kathleen!) I'm picking a new pair!
All treasuries created with the first pair will still count as entries as will all treasuries created with the new pair!




Anyone is welcome to come play but there are some simple rules that must be followed in order for your treasury to count and to be considered as a finalist.

#1: Your treasury must include these earrings by kathleencavalaro. You can put them in any spot you like but they must be in one of the top 3 rows. The theme can be anything you like as long as this item is included.

#2: Your treasury must contain at least 8 new or undiscovered shops. Undiscovered shops have 20 sales or less. The Etsy Pounce function is good for discovering brand new shops and there is a thread in the Etsy forums here that is chock full of new and undiscovered shops.

#3: Your treasury must fill the remaining spots with Team Discovery members. The team members are listed here.

#4: Your treasury MUST be tagged "teamdiscovery", all one word, and "TDchallenge", all one word, without the quotes. Also, we recommend you fill every tag space that is appropriate for your treasury and use "new" and "undiscovered."

#5: You must follow this blog.


#6: You must post the URL link to this blog in your treasury. This is important and is how the word gets out. If you are unsure of what to say in your challenge treasury, feel free to use this:



This is a Team Discovery challenge treasury made up of undiscovered shops (less than 20 sales) and team members. Anyone can join in this challenge.
http://etsyteamdiscovery.blogspot.com/2010/11/monday-treasury-challenge_30.html


#7: Your treasury must include "Treasury Challenge" somewhere in your title.

#8: When you have completed your challenge treasury, come back here and add the URL to that treasury here in the comments. You can create as many treasuries as you like and enter as many times as you like. This challenge will end Thursday evening AT 6PM. Voting will be up this weekend and the winner will be announced next Monday.



The winner of this challenge will be able to have one of THEIR OWN items featured for next week's challenge!

Team vs. Team Challenge is up on a neutral blog!


Please go immediately to the Team vs. Team blog for the rules! Thanks to Team Treasurme for agreeing to go into this crazy, fun journey!

To clarify for our team, since our rules will be slightly different, the remaining 8 spots mentioned in the rules for the challenge still need to be undiscovered shops so we can continue to tag our treasuries 'teamdiscovery'. For the purposes of this challenge, the teammates used on Treasureme do NOT have to be undiscovered nor do the slots given to our teammates.

This challenge will end Tues. Nov. 30 so get your best treasuries skillz (oh yes, I said skillz) together and do our team proud!
