Nonteam Treasury Challenge #22

This challenge is now closed. Please check back on Tuesday for the winner and on Thursday for the start of the next challenge.

Reminder: ONE treasury entry per person! If you tag more than one treasury with our tag, you will be disqualified.

Also, be sure your treasury tag is correct - nonteamchallenge 22. If it's incorrect, you won't show up in the search to be judged. You also won't show up in the search to have your shop link added to the sidebar or your mini added to the buyer account.

A creative challenge open to all members of Etsy!
Create a treasury around the Inspiration Item. Win the Challenge and the Inspiration Item for the next Challenge will be something of yours! Who knows how many treasuries will be created with your item!

Everyone is welcome to take part in this Challenge. There's no team to join.
WellCriated will be judging the Challenge this week. It's totally up to her as to what she's looking for. Make the best treasury you can and just maybe one of your items will be featured in our next Challenge!

Please read the guidelines carefully before creating your treasury.

Our Inspiration Item is.....

Great Horned Owl Felt Kit from WellCriated

Create one treasury using the Inspiration Item above as one item in your treasury. Fill the rest of the treasury with any other items on etsy. Follow etsy's treasury guidelines. Do not include any of your own items. Make your treasury awesome. Add descriptive tags and give it a creative title.

Use etsy's Merchandising Desk ideas when possible. Some possible themes/tags from March's Merchandising Desk - DIY projects, woodland animals, woodland forest, owls, neutral and earth tones, natural history, natural colors, mother's day.

You have three days - until Sunday, March 13th, (noon - eastern) to create your treasury.

1. Read the guidelines. (Remember - only one entry per person)

2. Include the Inspiration Item in any of the first 12 spots (not as an alternate).

6. Support other participants - View/Comment/Click on other treasuries in the Challenge.

7. Please don't tag your nonteam treasury with tags for other teams. It's not in the spirit of our nonteam. Our goal is to spread the treasury and front page exposure to participating shops and to others.
