Buddy Challenge - debstgo & SweetandSassyCards

The Buddy Challenge is back! And we missed you so...

Debstgo won the last challenge before Thanksgiving and has chosen SweetandSassyCards as her buddy for the next challenge. So let's crank some treasuries out and get our winner and her buddy to the front page!






#1: Your treasury must include these tags by SweetandSassyCards and this photo by debstgo. These items must be placed somewhere in the first three 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 "Buddychallenge", 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/2010/12/buddy-challenge-debstgo.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 Tuesday evening AT 6PM.


The winner of this challenge will be able to have one of THEIR OWN items featured for next week's challenge AND pick the buddy shop to be featured as well.

Vote for this week's Thursday themed treasury finalists!

Time to vote for the winner of the Thursday themed challenge. The winner of this will receive ad space on our right sidebar until next week's challenge winner is determined.

Disappointed you don't see your treasury here? Promote it harder! Tweet it, put it on Facebook, write a blog post about it, join in the treasury threads in the Promotions forum, and on and on. Get the word out! That's the whole point, to see how hard we can promote in less than 24 hours.

The top 4 treasuries, by views, are:

Guerrilla Gifts for Your Macho Man a Treasury Challenge 1111 views 

Citified (Treasury Challenge) 376 views

Kathleen presents a Sunny Git Guide - Treasury Challenge 343 views

Kathy's Song- A Treasury Challenge 181 views

Voting is closed!!!

Vote for your favorite weekly challenge.

This task was nearly impossible. I have been sitting at my computer for over two hours going back and forth trying to figure out my favorite. We certainly have a very talented team of curators!

Again I thank you all for your submissions. Please take a look at each one below and vote for your favorite.

I made it through the rain

Softness of the silver lining

Gifts that I would love

Wear this for your holiday party

Thursday Themed Challenge: December 2

Welcome to the Thursday themed challenge! 

This is a one day only challenge that starts right now and ends at midnight eastern tonight.

Tomorrow morning, the top 4 treasuries, determined by views, will be posted in a poll that will run through the weekend. The winner of the poll will receive ad space on the right sidebar until next Thursday's challenge!

None of us would be a part of this team if not for our good friend and fearless leader, Kathleencavalaro.

So today's one day only theme is:

KathleenCavalaro

Here are the rules:

1. Interpret this theme any way you want to or any way you can and let that be the theme of your treasury! Be creative! This is a chance to let your artistic freedoms shine! It doesn't have to be literal.

2. Use at least 8 undiscovered shops (less than 20 sales) and the rest team members. Do not include yourself or any non-team members with more than 20 sales.

3. You must add "treasury challenge" somewhere in your treasury title.

4. You must tag the treasury "teamdiscovery" and "TDthemechallenge".  Please do not forget to tag your treasuries! You can also include "thankyoukathleen" if you like. 

5. Link back to this exact blog post in your treasury. This will help the word get out and make our challenges (and exposure) exciting! If you cannot think of what to write, try this (and add the exact URL):

This is a Team Discovery Thursday Themed Challenge!

These challenges run one day only and the winner receives awesome stuff! 

Anyone can play. Come check it out:

http://etsyteamdiscovery.blogspot.com/2010/10/thursday-themed-challenges-december-2.html

6. Post your treasury URL here in a comment on this blog post. This will count as your entry.

7. Follow our blog, please. You can do this by clicking follow over there in the right sidebar ---> or by clicking follow all the way at the top left of the blog.

8. Promote your treasury in any way you can. Tweet it, facebook it, forums, too! The top 4 treasuries (by views and/or hotness first thing Friday morning) will be open to voting on our blog this weekend. The winner will receive ad space in our sidebar for one week, until next Thursday's themed challenge. Last week's winner is not eligible to win this week but is encouraged to participate for the fun of it.

9. Please follow these rules exactly if you want your treasury to count in the challenge. Failure to add "Treasury Challenge" to your title or improper tagging might result in us not being able to find your treasury at all and it won't count!

10. This challenge ends at midnight tonight, eastern time and the voting for the winner will begin Friday morning.
