{SPECIAL EVENT} Celebrate National Coloring Book Day with the STAMPlorations Girls + Download the Color Blooms Page Sampler & Link Up!

Hey, STAMPlorations friends! Today is National Coloring Book Day and we're celebrating here on the blog! The STAMPlorations girls took out their favorite coloring mediums and started coloring a page from COLOR BLOOMS, our first coloring book for grownups -- specially created for the cardmaker, crafter, and mixed media artist in you!

We'd love for you to celebrate this event too so we've made the Color Blooms page sampler available for everyone to download, print, and color! And for a chance to win a copy of the Color Blooms coloring book, simply share a photo of the Color Blooms page sampler that you've colored and link it up at the end of this post. The linky is open until Sunday, August 7, so you have plenty of time to have some coloring fun!

Here are samples of how the STAMPlorations girls colored the pages in Color Blooms.
