The New European Street Team Challenge 'dream destination and its colors'

I am very proud to be chosen by Sabine from La Marquise des Anges as the winner of the
Sense and Textures challenge of the European Street Team.

Less than one year ago I never had heard of Etsy, European Street Team, nor bloggers that craft or crafters that blogged.
A whole new world openend to me, and I love it.
Hosting this challenge and knowing that I take off at the end of the week for a holiday I would like
to set the theme for this week :
  'dream destination and its colors'

Due to my job as a travelagent I am very curious about how people experience a destination in all its facets.

Submit your entry that has to be an item listed or created during the current week.
Mail or convo me on info.zsazsazsu@gmail.com

 Surprise me and my blogreaders !


Join the fun and spread the word !



1.We have the first entry : Evelyne from Sumikoshop 

 She was inspired by Hawaii ! A very bright colored destination indeed !  Who wouldn't dream of visiting this place ?


2. Dear Inge from Heritagedecouleurs has surprised me with 2 entries. It's her dream to travel to Tibet and I hope her dream will come true.
She used the Touaregs from Morrocco to inspire her to make very beautiful earrings.



3. This entry is made by Samantha from Sassafrasvitrolica.  She lives in Valence (France) and is longing for some warmth as the wetter is still very cold.  She made this painting reminding her of her honeymoon to Tunesia.



4.  Alecia from Arctida is totally tempted by the sunsets in Jamaica. She also has spent her honeymoon at this wunderful destination.  The color of the earrings match the colors of the sunset.



5. Eva from AngelPearls : I dream of travel to the beautiful, warm, pretty place of Spring..It can be everywhere..




This particular cherry tree grows on the childrens school yard and inspired me to make this Soft Pink Romance Bracelet !
 



6. Viktoria from Donauluft her dreamdestination is not further then a 100 steps from her kitchen : her garden, that is reconquered today from Mr Winter.  The earrings look a bit like buds and match very well the color of the pillows.


 
 
7.  Dawn from LaTouchables is fond of mountain areas and glaciers.
Wild nature !
 



8. Sabine from La Marquise des Anges loves the Greek Blue color.  Crete is her favorite destination.





9. Priscilla from Bijouxdellestregatto is also a fan of Greece ! She loves the blue from the beautiful houses in Santorini.



Number 9 is Feyza from Ikabags a fan of Turkey because of its wunderful nature in the Butterfly Valley.





10. Ira from Iragrant is a fan from the lush green Ireland !



11. This entry is made by Rachel from Labspace ! She is also inspired by green (would everybody know that this is my favorite color ?). But the green of jungles, either in the Amazone region or in China, maybe due to her ancestrial roots ?




11. Nevena from Nevita knits, if possible, outside with behind her the panorama of her village.



12. Dream away with Rita from Alatvian to Buenos Aires.  Her brooch is inspired by the wonderful colors in this country.



Lucky number 13 ? Sent in by Eve from creationsbyeve ! This picture of 'les rues de Paris et les chateaux' inspired her too make this lovely brooch.


14. Lucie from Lucietales loves to stroll around little fishersmans villages - here I used one of my own pictures - made last summer : the typical fishermans houses in Biganos near the Bassin d'Arcachon in the french Gironde.



15. The mysterious Frances from Matchstickgirl is temped by inky blue destinations in the middle of nowhere.


16. Stefania from Gufobardo is swept away by Africa and it's warm colors and people.




17. From one continent to another ! Here's the entry by Judit from MadebyCsJ. She loves to travel to Spain and got inspired by Flamenco.




18.  Ana from RosemaryManufacture is very orinigal and designed her own  destination : Gothic City - a mysterious and dark city in the 19th Century.



19.  Bai from Thongbai Tatong made a shirt that perfectly matches the scenery of Holland.







20. Also Nancy from NancyvdBoom is a fan of Holland, more particulary the region of Twente.



21. Ester and Estella from Staroftheeast took the challenge and choose for Japan (they live in one of my favorite destinations !)






22. Alexandra from Rabamata is living in beautiful Italy and shares her dream destination with us : the Amalfi coast of Italy.



23. Inger from Ingermaaike lives in the cold northern part of Europe and dreams away with the colorful carnivals in the Caribbean.



24. Whereever and whenever the sun shines makes Marta from Martice happy ! I can only join this motto !




25. This challenge wouldn't be complete without the entry of Carita from Jealousydesign ! In her ring you can see tropical islands, enchanted nature and lovely weather.



26. Petronella from P8Accessories used colors that are linked to India ! So lets see for a nice picture on her favorite destination.
