    We're kicking things off with a BANG! It's time to get messy in the most colourful way possible!

    For this challenge you'll start with a completely blank or white canvas, just like a fresh t-shirt at the starting line of a colour run. Then:

    * Choose a photo of yourself that makes you feel good and convert it to black and white, with high contrast. Place it smack in the center of your page. This is to celebrate YOU!

    **
    Now let the colour fly! Surround your photo with bursts, poofs and splashes of colour - think paints, inks, stamps or colourful elements.

    *** No patterned papers allowed. We are looking for solid blocks of colour of free-form fun and vibrant expression!

    **** You can include words and journaling, but keep the focus on the colour explosion around you.

    Your layout should capture the joyful chaos of a color race - messy, magical and full of energy! Let the colours tell the story!

    If you need some good colourful kits, I have a few that will be on sale 50% off on Wednesday, July 2nd for SOSN. Check these out!

    Here is my example for inspiration using all the kits above.

    Once your layout is in the gallery, come back and post it as a reply in this thread using the “Share BB Code” from the right side of your layout page.

    No patterned papers! This was hard, but also fun, so thanks for the challenge.

    I did have a plain white background but I applied a paper style by Paula Kesselering to get some texture, let me know if that's okay or not.

    This was fun. Our kids at church have this event twice a year called Colour Me Crazy where they splat each other and themselves with (washable) paint. This felt a bit like that! :)

    Thanks for the reminder that I already own the Vogue collection- it's SO fun! I didn't use patterned papers (SO hard!) but the hexagons are elements in the kit! Also, the BG is white, I add a Lighting layer on top of all my layouts- let me know if you want the plain without lighting layout. :)
