Color Your Summer 3!!!

Yep, Color Your Summer 3 is almost here!

!!

Have you been waiting forever for this too? Well, I definitely have. I was bugging Kirstin about it back in January, even before we started planning Winter Whites (a CYS spin off). Yep…I love this series pretty much a lot. 🙂

I am thrilled to be co-hosting Color Your Summer 3 with the lovely Kojodesigns!

This year, the series will last from June 24 to July 20, 2013. 
Almost a whole month of colorful, summery goodness!

In usual Color Your Summer fashion, there will be sewing tutorials, recipes, party ideas, and more! You can see our past years HERE and HERE.

And this year is going to be bigger and better than ever!

Of course, we have an awesome line up of guests…

And that’s just on my site! See Kojo’s star studded list HERE.

We also have some really fun giveaways lined up for you this year!!

We have teamed up with some of our super fantastic sponsors…

…to bring you a summery grab bag of prizes.

How do you win one? There are THREE ways.

ONE…JOIN OUR INSTAGRAM PARTY!

Simply snap a picture of anything colorful and summery and tag it with #coloryoursummer.

Easy right?

Even though the series doesn’t start yet (it starts June 24) we are starting the giveaway fun today! So, from today through the end of our series, midnight (EST) PST  July 20, 2013, any image you tag to #coloryoursummer could win you one of these great prizes:

One grand prize winner will receive a $100 value bundle:

$50 Gift Card to The Ribbon Retreat
3 pattern bundle to Blank Slate Patterns
$25 gift card to Amazon.com
1 MADE beach robe pattern

Remember that this is a giveaway and not a contest. Simply tag a picture and you’re entered. Enter as many times as you want.

**All winning images will be verified to ensure it was tagged for the giveaway and meets the requirements: summery and colorful. Winners will be chosen randomly and then notified through instagram and on our sites.

We also will be featuring our favorite images throughout the series!

TWO…ENTER OUR FLICKR POOL GIVEAWAY!

We created a brand new Flickr pool just for Color Your Summer! Check it out HERE.
***Please note: We have changed the requirements to make entering easier…

All you need to do is upload pictures of any DIY project that is summery and colorful. Easy right? You may upload projects that used a Color Your Summer tutorial but it’s not required!

Here are some specifics to help you know if your submission will qualify:
1- If you are uploading any project that is summery and colorful (not based on a Color Your Summer tutorial), it needs to be from this year, 2013.
2- If you are uploading a project based on a Color Your Summer tutorial, then it can be old or new. See HERE and HERE for a list of links to all CYS tutorials. If you made it two years ago, it counts!
3- Your project picture must be entered into the Color Your Summer Flickr pool from now until midnight (EST) PST July 20, 2013.

That’s it. There is not limit to how many times you can enter!
Two winners will be chosen randomly and all entries will be verified to ensure they fulfill the above requirements.

Two lucky entrants will receive these prize bundles:

Prize Bundle #1 – value over $90

A.mazing.
