Hi there! Sunshine Sweetie Crystal here with a new Blog Challenge! This week is a Color Challenge! The palette we’re going to use is inspired by Kristi’s Oceanside Kit, which she was sweet enough to put on sale this week just for the challenge!

 Here is the color palette:

You’ll need to use at least three of these colors in your layout. You don’t have to use Oceanside, you can use anything you want as long as it matches the three colors you’ve chosen to work with!

Here are some layouts that our Sweeties have come up with for the challenge:

By Mimi

So, do you want to know what you’re playing along for? I thought so! Well, Kristi was also kind enough to create a totally adorable mini kit that EVERYONE who participates in the challenge will receive!

Upload your layouts in our Challenge section of the SUN Gallery and post a link in the forum. The deadline to post your layouts is Friday, July 4 at midnight EST! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
