Hey Cherries! The next "My Mood" Challenge will be the same as the last with it being a 2 month challenge for July and August. There will be two $5 GC winners for this challenge also.
Here we go with the July/August My Mood Challenge... Summer is here and it's sizzlin' hot in my area. The temps are in the high 90's with a heat index above 100 for the next 2 weeks. Great weather for the beach and 4th of July if you are celebrating.
My mood for this challenge is HOT! Choose one of the hot topics below and make it the focus of your LO.
1. Sparklers - Show me a shower of sparkles.
Example: 4th of July firework photos, a glittery starburst design, anything with lots of sparkles on it.
2. Hot Summer Colors - Create your page using at least 75% reds, oranges and yellows. Neutrals are welcome as long as your page is at least 75% of the listed hot colors.
3. Heat - Show me some heat on your page.
Example: Bonfires, campfires, roasting marshmallows, and even a bad sunburn.
For the fine print....
This can be a paper or digital layout, card or journal page.
All work must be new. One entry per Cherry.
Please state in your post the option you chose for your project.
May be combined with one other challenge that allows combining, prompt challenge, paper and team challenges.
Please post your work here. Deadline is August 31st, 2026.
Two random winners will be selected to receive a $5 ACOT gift card from me!
Questions? Please PM or post here in the challenge thread.
Here are a couple of LOs from my gallery as I am waiting on 4th of July celebration photos for my sparkles! Not new, but your project must be newly created for this challenge.
