#TGIFC18 August Remixmix!!


Hi there!!  Hope you enjoyed our Back To School challenge.  We certainly enjoyed seeing your entries.  One of you certainly went above and beyond with your creativity and craftsmanship...I highly recommend that you check out Martha Inchley's project HERE!  She blew us away and is last week's winner!  She'll also earn a spot on our Winner's Circle Page!  Martha, don't forget to grab the winners button for your blog. We will be posting our runners up on our Facebook Fan Page too so stay tuned...you just might see your card featured!

Onto the challenge...


 
 
Once again, we have our Monthly Challenge Remix!  Take all of the cool challenges over the last few weeks, pick at least TWO of them, and create a challenge mashup!  For example, combine the sketch and Colour challenge, or make a Back To School card using the challenge colors...get it? This month why not just combine all three??  As a reminder, here are the challenges to pick from:

#TGIFC16 Super Sunny Summertime Sketch


Welcome back to another TGIF Challenge!!  Can I just say "TGIF!?" Don't know about you, but its sure seems like its been a long week... But enough of my belly-achin'.  I always enjoy writing this post because it reminds me that the weekend is right around the corner!  That and I get to tell someone that they are the winner of our challenge from last week...and this week's talented winner is a veteran champion:  Susanne Spath! !  Check out her project on our Winner's Circle Page! We will be posting our runners up on our Facebook Fan Page too so stay tuned...you just might see your card featured!

Onto the challenge...

This week we have a classic (not-so-classic) sketch challenge:

 
 
Being that it's the end of Summer, we have a "light" version of our design team this week...Vacations are being had, School is being prepared for, and Campsites are being camped in.  BUT - while our team's attendance may be low this week, their super-cute designs sure pack a mean punch!!  Check them out for yourselves:
