Mission Treasury! Create a Knight in Shining Armor treasury!

Mission Treasury is all about getting you, our readers, in on the treasury making fun! We also hope that you will find a shop or two to introduce us to that is fun and exciting!

So, we will be posting a theme and 4 shops each Monday - and challenging you to create a treasury that fits the theme and contains at least one item from one of the 4 featured shops.

You will have one week to create your treasury, and come back to the blog post and leave your treasury as a comment.

The best treasury will be featured, and all treasuries submitted will be mentioned!



The results of this weeks Mission Treasury will be posted on April 20th 2011!

Team project No. 1 - Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

On the Hearts and Hands United Team we've got a special team project every two months.
The project we're all working on at the moment has been put together by Earjeans with the following instructions:
"Since this is wedding season, I thought we could create something (within our respective crafts) using the theme 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.'
At least two of the four categories has to be represented in your work (old, new, borrowed, blue)."

This Friday and the Friday's to come we aim to present the results of these projects. First out today are projects by Lafe's Hidden Treasures, Terrills Tiles and ShoshiPo.

The first project is a Wine Bottle Light from Lafe's Hidden Treasures.
The bottle is a cobalt blue, the top is wrapped with new silver and copper wire that the old crystals hang from. The bottle is filled with borrowed lights to give a cozy shine (The lights have been donated to the cause now, right?).

The second project is a set of bridal gift tile coasters from Terrills Tiles.
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. This covers all of the traditional bridal gifts in one coaster set.

The third and last project of this Friday comes from ShoshiPo.
This is a pair of handcrafted earrings with sterling silver chains, silver star beads, swarowski blue zircone and swarowski crystal stones. New and blue.
















Be sure to check back next Friday for three new inspiring projects from the Hearts and Hands United Team!
