We have two new...

lovely ladies joining us for the month of May! Please welcome...

Kelley Eubanks

Hello... I am Kelley and I am honored to be a guest designer for the month of May! Thank you guys for the opportunity!

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Michael, for almost 12 years. We have a 3 year old son, Carver, who brings us so much joy... I couldn't possibly begin to describe it! I live my dream job and am a stay at home mom to our son. When Carver goes to bed, I love to make cards. I have dabbled in card making and scrapbooking over the years. I jumped into card making head first a little over a year ago after a friend invited me to a Stampin' Up! workshop! I am in love with my hobby!


and
Clare Prezzia

I'm a nerd, volleyball fanatic and, above all, a crazy person who cannot make enough cards! In addition to papercrafting, I love randomly baking sweet treats, working with wire, having fun with my family, and taking photographs. I am SO excited to be guest designing for Etsy Inspired!

These girls are having several projects published this year...congrats! We love their style and know that you will too! Take a peek at some of their work...

Etsy Inspired Challenge #84 - Cose Dolci

It's time for a new challenge! This week we have a lovely, warm, and unique shop for you to be inspired by. Cose Dolci specializes in beautiful handmade living accessories. When I first saw this shop I fell in love with her wool felt bowls. I can picture a few of them in my dream craft room...each filled with a different embellishment. :) She also creates pretty patchwork pillows and notepads. Here are a few of my personal favorites from Cose Dolci's shop.

Don't you just love the colors, designs, and texture of these pieces?!

So along with this great shop, we also have another fabulous sponsor this week! The Caffinated Cropper has just started selling wonderful and unique paper crafting kits. This month's kit is called 'With a Cherry on Top' and it is delicious! :) Amy, the owner, is super sweet herself and has some great companies and designers contributing to her kits. This month's kit includes some great digital stamps from Lindsay Spencer which I love because you can use them even after all your paper crafting goodies are long gone...plus they are super cute! Also included are some fabulous Stickerz from EAD Designs. Click HERE to check out the list of ALL the items that are included in 'With a Cherry on Top'. Amy will be giving this week's winner a mini version of the kit!
