Etsy Inspired Challenge #86 - Isabell's Umbrella

Happy National Scrapbook Day and welcome to another Etsy Inspired Challenge! We have been loving all the fabulous projects you all are creating for our challenges...maybe we'll see a few scrapbook pages this week?! :)

We have another great shop for you to be inspired by...Isabell's Umbrella. Isabell's Umbrella is filled with paper goods to brighten your day! Her items are super cute...I'm sure you'll agree!

Ashley, the owner/artist of Isabell's Umbrella, hopes to renew the lost art of written correspondence by creating stationary that people will want to share with others. I think all of us paper crafters feel like Ashley...nothing's better than receiving a hand written note, especially when it is written on an adorable card! :)

Our sponsor this week is a new stamp company, Lawn Fawn, owned by one of our previous guest designers, Kelly Marie! Her line of photopolymer clear stamps is adorable, trendy, and fun! And she is getting ready to release a few new sets so keep your eye on her blog for sneak peeks! Kelly will be giving one lucky winner Lawn Fawn's 'critters in the 'burbs' stamp set.

So cute! Also our featured Etsy shop this week, Isabell's Umbrella, is generously giving away a stationary set, magnet, and bookmarks!

Here's how to play for your chance to win one of these great prizes:
- Visit Isabell's Umbrella and find an item that inspires you
- Create a project of your own (any crafty project you like) based off the inspiration piece you chose
- Link up your project to this post using the new InLinkz below by Friday, May 7th at noon PST.

Everyone will be entered into a random drawing to win. If you upload to SCS or PCP, please use keyword EIC86. And please remember to give credit to the shop that you found your inspiration from.

And if this is your first time joining us...welcome! You can check out extra details about our challenge HERE.
