April Team Challenge: renewal

Ah Spring! that wonderful time of year when Earth explodes with secret loveliness that has been kept hidden under the frozen ground!

In Springtime, the Earth renews itself. Life bursts forth from that which seemed dead. Our Challenge this month is to create a project (using any media you desire) that honors a spirit of renewal.

Think of where your senses lead you, of the joy of experiencing a re-awakening. Have fun with this Challenge! Play!

Tuesday Treasuries

Treasuries on etsy are gallery collections of items for sale grouped under a theme chosen by the curator. This is a fun way to showcase the talents and work of creative shop owners.

Blogging Business Artisans requires its members to curate one treasury per month. Each week we will feature one of the past week's treasuries here on our team blog.
The treasury and each item within the treasury is clickable!

LeAnn of Pasque Flower Creations curated this treasury Partly Sunny, Mostly Gray featuring handcrafted items in shades of yellow, gold, gray and silver -- a bit of sunshine on a gray day!

Here are a couple items featured in this treasury:

Look at this lovely painting by Kaili of clockworkghost! She says, " This is the second of a four part series inspired by the seasons. Summer is bright and fun, captured here by the sun and the sunflower...a simple but vibrant portrait of the summer season." It's an original painting in an ACEO (Art Cards Editions & Originals) size. Kaili's shop is full of her art and photography.

These are the cutest mama and baby elephant printable cupcake wrappers created by Jamie of Poppy Hill Creations! Of herself and her shop, Jamie says, "I love creating special and unique digital designs for all sorts of occasions, especially birthday parties and baby showers."
