An Etsy Inspired Challenge AND an AMAZING BOGO Event!

Today is the first Etsy-Inspired Challenge for August and guess who the Guest Designer for this month is! Me!! I am very excited to join this talented team this month. I really love the whole idea of art inspiring art.

This week's featured Etsy store is Julianne's Jewels. She actually has TWO stores and you can view her original one HERE and her NEW one HERE. She sells some GORGEOUS hand made jewelry and home decor. The winner this week will receive a $20 gift certificate to her store.
Here is the piece that I chose as my inspiration:

You can find the listing HERE. I just love the color of the earrings and I thought the lantern shape was unique. I chose the lantern from Unity's May KOM Another Sweet Day and the sentiment is from April's KOM Fresh Beginnings.

Here’s how to participate… invite a friend (or friends) that are new to the challenge to play along with you for the 1 August challenge.

They should than go back to Ashley’s blog and post their project from the post for EIC 47 post. In the post they should include “referred by” and your name. What YOU need to do as the referrer is post your card from Ashley’s blog, and ensure you include your BOGOs names. You’ll get one entry for the grand prize for each new person referred!
