#tgifc539 Inspiration Challenge

Hi friends! 👋 We’re so glad you’re back for another creative adventure with us here at TGIF Challenges! This week, we’re serving up some dreamy inspiration that’s sure to get your creative wheels turning. Picture this: soft watercolor pines fading into a gentle mist, all set against a serene sky brushed with shades of pink and lavender. 🌲🎨 It’s peaceful, it’s magical… and it’s totally open to your interpretation!

Whether you pull from the tranquil colors, the watercolor vibe, the forest scene, or just the feeling it gives you, we can’t wait to see what you create. So grab your supplies, channel that calm, misty magic, and show us your inspired masterpiece! And when you share your work on social media, don’t forget to tag #TGIFChallenges so we can ooh and ahh right along with you! 💛

The projects you submitted for last week's challenge featuring the Country Woods Designer Series Papers were wonderful! Thank you all!

Congrats to our winner!

#tgifc538 Product Challenge

Hey there, friends of TGIF Challenges! 💛 We’re so happy you’re here with us for another week of crafty fun. This time, we’re shining the spotlight on a gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper – Country Woods. If you haven’t met this beauty yet, you’re in for a treat! With its rustic charm and sophisticated style, it’s the kind of paper that works as effortlessly for an elegant wedding card as it does for a cozy, shabby-chic scrapbook layout. The variety of woodgrain patterns makes it a go-to for all occasions – just add your creative touch and let the magic happen! We can’t wait to see how you bring Country Woods to life in your projects this week. (If you don't have this paper, don't let it stop you from playing along - just let it be your inspiration!)

And don’t forget – when you share your creation on social media, be sure to tag #TGIFChallenges so we can see (and swoon over) your beautiful work! 💛

Thank you all so much for all of your gorgeous cards from last week's challenge! We're proud to announce the WINNER!

#tgifc537 Sketch Challenge

Welcome back to another fun-filled week at TGIF Challenges—we’re so excited to have you here! This time, we’ve got a Sketch Challenge to get those creative gears turning. The sketch features a left-aligned square layer (a great spot to showcase your favorite Designer Series Paper!), a bold hexagon that can easily be swapped for a similar shape—think a frame, stamped image, a die-cut, or even a layered embellishment—and a banner that’s just waiting for the perfect sentiment. Use the layout as your starting point and let your creativity run wild! Link your project below and be sure to share your project on social media, tag us so we can cheer you on, and invite your crafty friends to play along too. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Thank you for sharing all of your amazing color challenge projects with us last week!

Congratulations to our winners -
