Treasury Round Up - 6/24/12

This has been another great week of treasuries!  All of these collections are absolutely fantastic.  Please help me thank the curators who featured my work this past week by visiting their shops and checking out their treasuries.

Tina (parltradet) included my Beaded Bracelet - The Leaf Series - Vibrant Fall Autumn in her Bonjour!  Orange! treasury.  I believe that orange is really underrated and always love to see it celebrated.  Check out Tina's Necklace - Denmark red clear glass crystal stretch - 16 in. (pte-38).

Tina also included my Beaded Cuff Bracelet - Skinny Wrapped - Sunshine Yellow Gold Accented in her Golden yellow treasury.  This collection has a really fun mix of items.

Pamela (ForHerEarsOnly) included my Beaded Cuff Bracelet - Angels in the Architecture in her Indelibly Blue treasury.  There is something about the shades of blue here that works really well.  Check out Pamela's Blue Crystal Waters.

Judy (JNOriginals) included my Beaded Dangle Earrings - Radishes in her Just plain cute! treasury.  There really are so many cute items here.  Check out Judy's Smitten With the Mitten Pencil Case.

Thanks to those who linked up with me last week!  Here are a few of the items that they featured last week.  Click on the photos to check out the product listings.

I am really touched by all the people who I have inspired to start their own treasury round ups with awesome shop features and write ups!  Please link up with me and grab a button for your own post.  I know that not everyone posts these rounds ups on Sundays, which is fine.  I will leave this link up open all week.  The most current post is now linked at the top of my blog, just under my header so you can find it easily at any time during the week.

If you link up, take the time to visit and comment on at least one other post.  No one benefits from linking up if we don't all support each other.  Thanks!

Welcome to another edition of color combination inspiration!  I am really excited that this series has done so well and have all of you to thank for another round of awesome color suggestions.  As always, I have done my best to include a wide variety of subjects, as you can get inspiration anywhere for any type of art form.  Enjoy.
