#tgifc186 Double Inspiration Challenge

Hi TGIF Challenge friends!!!

If you look closely, you can often find inspiration for your crafting everywhere you look.

We found a couple of photos of some beautiful Fall scenes as inspiration for this month's inspiration challenge.

But wait there's more because what is more inspiring than new stamps?!
That's right we have a sneak peek of a new stamp set coming in January!

Meet Humming Along...

So y'all choose whichever inspires you most & get to crafting!

We want to give a quick thank you to all who participated in last week's sketch challenge.
There were some beautiful entries, we finally came to a vote for the winner and

Congratulations -

Mary Deatherage

We also want to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to our TGIF girls Ashley & Stesha for making the 2019 Artisan Design Team!

We also know that not everyone chooses to celebrate Halloween - we would still love to have you join us!!! Take a look at the photo below, there's black and white, silver, maybe some lace - there's a banner in the background, maybe you could create something for a table setting...think outside of the box and let's see what we all come up with!

Thanks so much for playing along with us last week with our sketch challenge.

Congratulations to:

Rochelle Blok
