The Summer of Color: Week Two!


Welcome to Week Two of The Summer of Color 2: Ice Cream Inspirations!

And um, yeah . . .  . What a week it was . . . with 113 links at the time of the draw, a frenzy of activity on our Flickr and Facebook pages and some unexpected play on Pinterest, it looks like we're well on our way to a crazy, fun-filled and decidedly delicious Summer.

And did you see all the amazing work created with Rainbow Sherbet in mind? Everything from journal pages to canvases, ATC's, art boxes, origami, digital art, photography, baby booties, quilted blankets, tea towels, altered florals and, believe it or not, fingernail art was represented. I'm so impressed by all the kindness and creativity here and want to thank you for sharing your time, talents and energy . . .

Now On With Week Two!
As of today, you may link your work inspired by the Flavor Mint Chocolate Chip. To do so, simply copy the direct link from your blog or Flickr page and paste it into the widget below. You will have the entire week - until Sunday June 24th (Pacific Standard Time) - to do so. Those who link their Mint Chocolate Chip creations below will also have a chance to win this fabulous giveaway:

3 pages of clip art from TJ Designs Alice in Wonderland collection, an 8 x 10 pad of Strathmore Drawing Paper, a pack of Strathmore Acrylic Artist Trading Cards, 3 decorative tags from Basic Grey, 3 tubes of Stickles glitter in Star Dust, Waterfall and Green, Craft Smart craft paint in Chocolate Brown and Mint Green, a set of Martha Stewart glitter and glue tinsel, 2 Sakura Gelly Roll pens (from the "Ice Cream Smooth" collection) a sprinkling of clear, pale blue and iridescent Swarovski crystals and - can you believe this? - a pack of Mint Chocolate Chip gum.

Ready, Set, Go!
Link your Mint Chocolate Chip now:



And Who Won Last Week's Giveaway?
So glad you asked! The Random Number Generator did it's magic and the winner of our Rainbow Sherbet prize package is . . . .

PIAROM

Congratulations! Please email your address to KDvanvalkenburghatmsndotcom and I'll mail it right off.

So, What About Week Three?
Your next color prompt - from Monday June 25th to Sunday July 1st - is:

Baseball Nut!

I can't wait to see what you do with this one . . . .

Thank you & have fun!

  15. TrixieJune 18, 2012 at 4:15 AM

    Loveing it...though not to clear on what colors "Basebal nut would be. Black Rasberry is til one of those that could be so many things. So I assuming this year you are leaving a lot of things to OUT interpretations of things???
