A Happy Fourth of July weekend to all! I hope that you are enjoyed a day full of beautiful sunshine, healthy food and lots of fun with your family and friends. We had so much fun in the sun on the Fourth but alas, Jamisen did not see any of the fireworks since our tired little toddler was asleep by 8 p.m. (unlike his sister who stayed up until 1 a.m. crying). In the spirit of Independence Day, it is time to announce the winners of our Fourth of July Challenge. To see all the entries in this challenge, take a look at Bramble Berry’s Make It: #4thofJuly Facebook album. Are you ready to find out who won? Let’s have a soapy drum roll of excitement…
Top Row: Jill Cooper, Catherine Witt, Tanya from Baby Duck Soap Co.
Middle Row: Timmy from Ivy Coreen, Ada from SoapMuchLove, Wendy LaJoy
Bottom Row: Holly from Missouri River Soap, Tina from TrueSkin, Janet Schreiner

Good afternoon, Timmi!
The colors in your soap with so deep and vibrant, and I was wondering which colors that you used? Thank you again so much for participating in our 4th of July Challenge. 🙂
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thanks Becky! I made the blue’s using a mixtures of ultramarine blue and 1982 blue mica. And the red was blend of electric bubble gum pink and merlot sparkle mica. The fragrance oil also had a lot to do with color too. It was quite yellow so I had to work with that also.
Hi Timmi!
What a great blend of colors, I’m definitely going to have to try that out sometime. 🙂
