Rainbow Challenge 2019 - It's calendar time!

[Mel]

Well lads and lasses, the Rainbow Challenge has come to an end for another year…

Once again, a big huge massive thank you to everyone who joined in and filled 365 with colour for the month of March, I always love seeing what everyone will come up with for the different rainbow colours. I hope you’ve all enjoyed it as much as I have 😊

Now it’s time to show off your finished calendars!

Post below to share – if you haven’t done a calendar before, the easiest way is to go to your finished month view and take a screenshot, then paste it into a blank document in whatever editing programme you use. I use Photoshop, some use MS Paint, and I know that others use various other programmes (feel free to mention them if you have a recommendation!). Then just crop and add text etc.

I’ll tag everyone who replied to our original discussion, and who have participated previously - sincere apologies if I’ve left anyone out, I know that lots of people joined in but didn’t comment and I haven’t kept track of everyone…

Let the rainbows commence!

@m2016 Thanks. Had a good time doing this and seeing what others put up.

[Phil Sandford]

Been another fun March

[Carole Sandford]

Here’s my effort; really enjoyed this year.

[Mallory]

[Joanne Diochon]

Here is mine. I learned quite a bit and if I do it next year will take a slightly different approach I think.

[JackieR]

Thank you Mel.

[Jacqueline]

This was my first rainbow. I learned a lot and do things different next year.....I think :)

[Mona]

@m2016 Thank you Mel.

[Dinah Pinkston]

This is the first time that I have taken part in the Rainbow Challenge. I enjoyed it and learned a lot!

[Nova]

Thanks Mel for hosting this once again. I truly enjoyed the challenge. :) @m2016

[Mel Marie]

@m2016 how do I make this end calendar?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

Unbelievable that it's over, and what fun! I will do it SO differently next year, already I can't way. Some of the calendars here are just divine!

[Annie-Sue]

@melmarie3 I just did a print screen and put it into Paint - trimmed it off and added a title - I can see some people have made more effort!

[Mel]

@melmarie3 Go to your month view where all your shots for March are, take a screenshot and then paste it into a blank document in your editing programme. If you don't have Photoshop or similar, Microsoft Paint works just as well. Then just crop and add in some text if you wish.

[kali]

thought you might all like to see how the whole rainbow turned out!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@kali66 wow how did you get that?

[kali]

@koalagardens only took me an hour to piece together lol

[Helen Jane]

thank you Mel for the challenge (and Kali, that is amazing!)

[4rky]

Wow! They all look so good :)
Congratulations to everyone who took part.
And another big WOW as well as a big thank you to @kali66 for creating the amazing 2019 Community Rainbow!!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@kali66 you are a champion!

[Nick]

Here's mine. Thanks @m2016 for hosting, and thanks for creating the cool community calendar @kali66 :)

[Rob Z]

[wendy frost]

My third year Rainbow Calendar. I found it much easier this year to find the colours.
Thank you Mel @m2016 for hosting this Rainbow challenge and @kali66 for your amazing community Rainbow.

[Liana Bull]

@kali66 WOW - that looks amazing - how patient and clever of you. Thank you.

[Shanne]

Another first go at a rainbow from me - which I found challenging with only one album and already involved in other challenges. I enjoyed it, but if I had another go there are things I would do differently.

[Joanne Diochon]

@kali66 That community calendar is amazing. It’s interesting to see how the rainbow effect is still created even though pictures from around the world are posted at different times of day.

[Liana Bull]

Thanks for hosting this Mel - such fun it was.

[Sharon Lee]

[Merrelyn]

These all look so good! Well done everyone.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@m2016 already I can't wait for next year!

[FBailey]

Thanks very much for hosting, I found this one challenging. I'm not very disciplined, but I did learn a lot about my camera in the process.

[CristinaL]

Thank you for organizing this, Mel! I learned a lot from this challenge (namely that it truly is a Challenge for me) but I have ideas for next year (if I only remember them then!). Here is my calendar:

[Dinah Pinkston]

@m2016 Thank you, Mel, for organizing this challenge! It was wonderful throughout the month to watch everyone's calendar shaping up into a beautiful rainbow of color. I am already looking forward to doing this again next year -- but admit that I will need a reminder!

[Leslie]

I finally joined the challenged this year after watching for years. It was fun. Thank you Mel

[Amanda R.]

Rainbow month is done! I was surprised at how difficult pink and purple ended up being for me!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Here's mine! Thanks for hosting this. I had fun with my "composite foolery" version!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@kali66 WOW!!!!!!!!

[Rob Z]

What an incredible collection of artistic talent. How would you like to be judging this if it was a regular challenge!!!! Thanks again Mel for bringing so much joyous colour to our month of March. :)

[Sandy Z W]

It was really fun. Thanks @m2016 for hosting. I’ve reallly enjoyed looking at everyone’s months.

[Loopy-Lou]

[CC Folk]

What a fun, successful, colorful and creative month! I participated as well but I didn't post a calendar. It was challenging and I look forward to doing it again.

A little late in getting this posted.
Thanks Mel.
This was a fun challenge!

[Mel]

@space319 Excellent calendar Bobby - thanks for joining in :)

[Shutterbug]

@robz Couldn’t possibly. They are all so good in different ways and everyone worked so hard to stick with it to complete it.

[Monique]

Missed the first days but loved doing the rest of the month 😊
