Hello!!
Nice to see you!!
Thanks for stopping by to see what is coming up in the month of August.
Thought it best to post this today so you had a little time to get your head around it!
What better way to get through the last month of winter than with a NICE BIG HEALTHY dose of
COLOUR!!
As well as some inspiring colour goodness from our Ambassadors EVERY day for the month of August, YOU too will have the chance to get creative and show us what colour is in your little part of the world.
Why? Simply to open our eyes and appreciate the colour all around us, it makes for a happy existence :0)!
How?
CHALLENGE 1 - A COLOUR PHOTO A DAY
We will be looking at a total of 9 colours over the month. Every four days we will concentrate on one particular colour. At the beginning of each colour block i will tell you what colour you are chasing as well as posting my colour photo of the day.
What to do: Post your photo on your blog, linking it back to the Fiskars ANZ blog and then leave a comment under my post to let me know you are playing and then i can come and check it out.
At the end of each colour block i would love to use your photo to put into a collage for that particular colour, to post here on the ANZ Fiskars blog which will of course be linked back to you. Collages look FANTASTIC when they are colour coded.
Don't have a blog, no worries, just email me your photo (keep it small please :0) ) and i will include it in the collage. [email protected]
CHALLENGE 2 - SCRAP YOUR COLOUR
We want YOU to inspire US, show us how you have used your colour photos in a layout or a mini album or some other creative venture and email a photo through to [email protected] with "scrap your colour - August challenge" in the subject line. We can then upload it into our challenge album for all to admire.:0)
Now if you have some other photos that you would like to scrap using colour but they are not from the photo a day challenge, then GO FOR IT - thats fine too!
The only stipulation for this challenge is that you must use a Fiskars tool and let us know which one or ones you have used.
NOW FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO BE REALLY CHALLENGED
anyone??!!
You have to take part in the photo a day challenge and scrap them ALL. this will put you into an extra draw to win some Fiskars goodness!!
That means 31 photos girls, 1 per day!! Whos up for it? This is my goal, whos going to join me?
So we have 2 challenges with an extra incentive to complete both. Make sense?
Okay i think that just about covers it all. Any questions please don't hesitate to email me - [email protected] .
Come on don't be shy.....play and enjoy.
Saturday morning August 1st check back here to see what colour i want you to chase, and i warn you it is addictive, you will enjoy it - get the kids involved they will risk life and limb to find something in the colour you need ;0)
See you Saturday.
annette :0)

Okay so I can't find where the RED date ends but will get onto some pink. Is it one entry per photo or just one entry no matter how many photos?
Posted by: Jenny E | August 06, 2009 at 04:35 PM
Hi Jenny, thanks for dropping by. Red was from August 1-4 and pink from 5-8. All the challenge details can be found above, basically if you are playing along with a colour photo a day you will go into the draw for that part of the challenge(1 entry per person), if you are doing the scrap your colour part of the challenge you will go into the draw for that part of the challenge, (again 1 entry per person) and for the girls that really want to be challenged they are required to take a colour photo EVERY DAY and to scrap them all, to be in an extra draw. Hope that makes sense :0)

Hi Anette! I just found your blog and this challenge. I have planned to do color mini album for a long time and I think that this challenge would be great inspiration kick for me. Can I still join "scrap your colour" part of the challenge?
