That’s right, this is EtsyInspired #52… a year of challenges! How GREAT is that?!  First I want to say a HUGE HUGE thank you to Ashley for coming up with the challenge.  For someone completely addicted to Etsy, it’s an amazing creative outlet and I love the challenge!  And I also want to thank her for trusting me and allowing me to be on her DT with some of the most talented artists out there in blog land! GO TEAM ETSYINSPIRED!

So, by now, ya’ll should know this is a big day of games, fun, laughter and give aways!  You should have gotten to my blog from Jami Bova’s (Stamp Happy with Sgt Stamper). If you didn’t, please go back to Ashley’s blog and start over.  You’ll want to follow the hop because one lucky winner will be chosen from all commenter’s on one of the DTs or “guest stars” blogs!  Whose blog it will be chosen from, is a mystery… so check them all out!  And make sure you play along with the challenge to be as well… link your post up to the NEW EtsyInspired challenge blog by NOON September 11th PST.  A winner will be chosen that afternoon.

Now, what you all have been waiting for… WHAT DO YOU WIN?! Mystery Blog Hop Commenter – The wonderful and sweet Diana Crik of Scor-Pal has generously donated a SCOR-PAL, SCOR-MAT, extra SCOR-TOOL and a SCOR-BUG. Can you say OH MY GOD?!  I can!  How awesome of a prize is that?!  Even if you already have one, what a great gift to give to someone special?!

Challenge Winner – A very generous $15 gift certificate from SoftPencil Illustrations!!!!  SoftPencil Illustrations designs some of the cutest digi stamps ever!  You can see them on Etsy and on AiFactory…

After you complete the blog hop and start working on your challenge entries, you’ll want to pop on over to the EtsyInspired Paper Craft Planet Group and join in on chit chat, games, give aways, fun and friendship!  The PCP event starts at 11AM PST… we have MANY great prizes to give away and some awards too.

Without further ado… the challenge this week is “Player’s Choice“.  Go to Etsy, pick a shop, any shop and create!  Make sure you give the shop credit whichever one you choose and link your entry from the NEW EtsyInspired challenge blog.  If you post on PCP or SCS, please use EIC52 as your keyword.

There are SOOOO many shops on Etsy I {heart} so I randomly chose one from my favs list.  The shop is “nova rhyme“.  They carry super cute prints, totes and felt friends.  My card is inspired by this super cute felt “bjorn the gnome“.  Isn’t he CUTE?!  So I created this card using Odd Bird Planet’s “Kelly’s Gnome in a Tea Cup” along with the sentiment “Mischief is Brewing“.  The DP was a RAK and it’s called Autumn Leaves.  I used Tiff’s ribbon pleating tutorial with the SU ribbon.  The buttons are CTMH and the gnome is popped with dimensionals! Thanks for looking… continue the blog hop…

NOW hop on over to wonderfully talented and creative Tanis Giesbrecht!!!!

    I really wish you would encourage people to say "Oh my God" in prayer instead of as a random exclamation. Thank you for considering it…
