Monthly challenges for 2015.
Challenges help us grow and stretch our imaginations. They are also a requirement for being in the Etsy Blogging Business Artisans team.
Things you should know:
1) There will be 12 monthly challenges with a given theme. As part of the BBA, you are to participate in at least 4 challenges in the duration of the year and blog about your entry. Just create something that follows the theme and then write a post about it.
2) Each month there will be a new thread on the team Etsy page. Leave a link to your blog post there before the end of the month.
3) Feel free to put any project you create in your shop, and talk about the Challenge in your description!

January - BeadedTail - Goals or hopes for the New Year
What do you hope to accomplish this year? What are you looking forward to doing in 2015? Do you have plans to travel some place exciting, move to a new home/city or how about get a kitten? Will you be taking your shop in new directions? Let us know or give us a hint of your year to come!
February - Memories for Life - We typically think of red as the color of love. What nontraditional colors can you use to celebrate love?
March - Antiquity Travelers - the first signs of spring .... what does spring mean to you? What inspires you as the weather starts to warm up?
April - Pasque Flower Creations - April Showers:
April showers bring May flowers. The challenge this month is to create something that incorporates an image or a color scheme reminiscent of April showers -- umbrellas, raindrops, puddles, clouds -- the (cloudy) sky is the limit!
May - MisterPenQuin - Honor a Memory:
The month of May is often a time to celebrate or commemorate something special, whether it's a school graduation, a birthday, Memorial Day, or an anniversary (we're celebrating our 36th this year!). Create an item that involves honoring the memory of a person, place or thing.
June - Stalking the Wild Snark - Midsummer Night's Eve
June 21 is the longest day of the year! It has been celebrated in various ways for thousands of years, and many countries still have legal holidays around the time of the summer solstice. The challenge is to create something that celebrates the start of summer or to show what you like to do with those extra hours of daylight on long June evenings.
