Saturday Theme Treasury Challenge - Summer Nights

Lifeguard (No. 3) Photo from CN Teammie's Shop FlashForward

Summer lovin' - had me a blaaaaast!  Summer lovin' - happened so faaaaast!  Met a girl, crazy for me.  Met a boy, cute as can be.  Summer days driftin' away, tooo, uh-oh those summer nights.


Everybody sing: Uh-well-a-wella   UHH.


This Saturday's Treasury Challenge is from 'Etsy's Finds' email called 'Summer Nights'. Catching fireflies, an evening bike ride and night swimming (although in my head I hear, 'bu-dump, bu-dump') are a few summer night activities Etsy is promoting. This week enjoy creating treasuries that show how you like to spend your summer niiiiiiiiii-hiiiites.

Usually I choose a theme for the Saturday Challenges from one of 'Etsy's Finds' emails. However, I'm sitting at my computer waiting patiently for the Saturday Finds to pop into my inbox and nothing has come yet.  I am not good at waiting, soooo, me gots to thinkin'!  I thought it would be a fun change of pace for everyone to go 'Free Styling' this week. 


You get to choose your own theme.  Just find a trend that is being promoted by Etsy and then - go crazy!  Other than needing to follow the rules posted below, your only other rule is to find something from Etsy's Merchandising Desk for the month of June to curate your most fabulous treasury.  I've put the trends in one spot for you to shop from.  Here ya go: Click here to see June's Merchandising Desk for your choices!
