June 2026

This month we’re celebrating — fresh, airy, serene, refreshing

But this is Colorful Options.

You always have a choice.

🎨 Your Options

Option 1 — Tiffany Blue

Create a project featuring Tiffany Blue as the primary color. Aqua, teal, turquoise, robin’s egg blue, and blue-green tones all fit beautifully. Think sparkling water, a classic blue box, soft yarn, or a cheerful cup of coffee.

Option 2 — Supporting Colors

Want a different option? Use one of the supporting colors from the board as your main color: blue, linen, sand, cream, warm beige, copper, black, or white. Draw inspiration from the soft textiles, warm coffee tones, sandy neutrals, and subtle metallic accents to create a look that is calm, cozy, or naturally refined.

Option 3 — Rainbow

Prefer to go full color? Join us with a rainbow-inspired project instead.

Bright blends, bold bands, soft transitions, or colorful details — all are welcome.

Option 4 — Cards

Prefer to keep it classic? Enter with a card project using Tiffany Blue, one of the supporting colors, or Rainbow. Clean and simple, layered, elegant, graphic, coastal, cozy, or mixed media — all styles are welcome.

Option 4 — Other Creative Medium

We love variety. Enter with any creative format, including painting, crochet or knitting, quilting or sewing, home decor, digital art, scrapbooking, mixed media, or something else creative. If it features Tiffany Blue, one of the supporting colors, or Rainbow, it belongs here.

There are lots of ways to play along in June — whether you are inspired by sparkling water, soft linen, a classic blue box, cozy yarn, warm copper, or a full rainbow, the choice is yours.

May 2026

This month we’re celebrating Black & White — classic, striking, timeless, elegant.

But this is Colorful Options.

You always have a choice.

🎨 Your Options

Option 1 — Black & White

Create a project featuring black and/or white as the primary colors.
Crisp contrast, soft neutrals, dramatic shadows, vintage tones — clean, classic, or bold. Black and white can stand alone or lead the design. Your interpretation.

Option 2 — Black & White with a Pop of Color

Want to add a little extra fun? Use black and/or white as your main colors and add a pop of color. A bright collar, rosy nose, single accent shade, or even a playful splash of rainbow — all welcome. The color pop can be subtle or eye-catching.
