🌺 Aloha, Colorful Options Challenge Participants! 🌺

We have a fun twist for you this month—an extra challenge to celebrate Hawaii Day!

This special challenge will run alongside our main challenge from Sunday, August 10th through Saturday, August 16th, in honor of Hawaii Day, Friday, August 15th.

August 2025

Happy August, crafters! Welcome back to another fun month!

Our inspiration this month is ...

This month, I'm drawing inspiration from the hues of a library with a back-to-school vibe. Choose a color from this palette and highlight it in your creation. Feel free to embrace the old school theme or go in another direction—the option is yours to choose.

If this palette does not quite spark your imagination, no problem—explore a rainbow-inspired craft instead. Let’s see your colorful makes!

And now, our design team makes......

CZ, mkccreate : Colors of the Month

Carrianne, Crafti Carri's Handmade Cards: Colors of the Month

Deanne, A Little Bit O' Paper: Colors of the Month
