#tgifc529 Sketch Challenge

Welcome back, TGIF friends!

We're so glad to have you join us for another inspiring week of creativity and fun. This week’s sketch challenge is all about versatility with a clean, simple design that opens the door to endless possibilities. The sketch features a large, off-center circle—perfect for showcasing your favorite stamped image, layered die cuts, or even a photo element. A simple strip runs beneath, ideal for anchoring your design with a sentiment, ribbon, washi tape, or any decorative touch your imagination dreams up. We can’t wait to see how you make this sketch your own!

We really do think that we have the best challenge players and are so grateful you choose to create along with us!

Congrats to last week's challenge winner -
