June 2025

Happy June!  It's time for another month of fun at the Colorful Options Challenge!

Our inspiration this month is ...

  This month, I'm drawing inspiration from the beach with a color I call 'Aquablue.' Think of the serene shades of blue and turquoise that paint the sky and water. Choose a color from this palette and showcase it in your creation.

If aquablue does not spark your imagination, no worries—feel free to create a rainbow-inspired craft instead. Let’s see your colorful makes!

It's time for another fun month at the Colorful Options Challenge!

We are doing something a little different this month.  Colorful Options & Park Hopping My Happy Place are collaborating for May 2025.  Choose a color(s) from the photo below and showcase it in your make. 

The colors you see in the spectrum above are what I thought would look the best.  If there is a different color from the photo that inspires you, go with it.  Have fun!

If none of these colors spark your imagination, no worries—feel free to create a rainbow-inspired craft instead. Let’s see your colorful makes!
