Saturday Challenge: Outdoor Summer


So the Saturday Challenge never got posted- how could I forget this? Today we will see two challenges.

Treasury Challenge: The challenge is to use an item or theme to make a treasury. Wednesday Challenges feature an item and Saturday challenges feature a theme. The challenge helps you get better at making treasuries. After we narrow it down we open voting to everyone. The Prize? You get advertising on our little curation nation blog!

SATURDAYS CHALLENGE: Outdoor Summer

I got this idea from the etsy merchandising trends from July. "Alfresco Living and Home: Industrial vintage and reproduction furniture, decor, and interiors. Think farmhouse, countryside, the French flea market and galvanized metal, as well as market baskets and totes, bikes and bike imagery, picnics and flea market finds, and components to create "the outdoor room."

there are so many different ways to interpret this- good luck!


Are you ready for the Challenge?

The Rules:
  1. Use at least 8 Curation Nation members. The list is on the right of this blog so you can click over and have a look around. They can be in any slot on the treasury.
  2. Follow our blog (please)
  3. Put "Treasury Challenge" somewhere in the title of your treasury.
  4. Link back to this post. This helps other people find the challenge and enter.
  5. Post a comment here with the link to your treasury.
  6. Please make a treasury in Treasury East.
  7. Tag the treasury curation nation
  8. Tag the treasury "CNCHALLENGE"
  9. TAG THE ITEM OUTDOOR SUMMER
you guys are awesome.

If a friend refers you- please mention who in your entry- then they will also get the prize. Curation Nation Members- try to include your teammates? Not a team member? You can still win. I hope everyone I know enters. Several times. and I hope that the treasuries make the front page. Just a tip: Don't include yourself. You won't win. Follow the guidelines Etsy sets out for making treasuries.

You have until Saturday and good luck!

  8. Here's mine, but how do I "tag the item"? Do you mean the treasury? And do you want the words "outdoor" and "summer" separate or linked?
