#tgifc543 Inspiration Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so glad you’re here creating with us each week—it’s your creativity that makes this community so inspiring. This week’s Inspiration Challenge is as sweet as can be—literally! Picture a bright blue sky with soft, fluffy clouds, and from above comes a shower of donuts, tumbling down into the most tempting, colorful pile. 🍩 Talk about dreamy! Whether you’re inspired by the playful colors, the soft textures of the clouds, or the irresistible theme of donuts themselves, there are so many fun directions this challenge can take. Think sprinkles, circles, pastel skies, or maybe even a whole celebration scene—the sky’s the limit! We can’t wait to see how you let this whimsical photo spark your creativity, and we love that you continue to share your amazing projects with us.

Thank you all for sharing your fantastic sketch challenge projects with us! So inspiring!

#tgifc542 Sketch Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! This week we’ve got a fun Sketch Challenge to spark your creativity. Our sketch features three squares turned on the diagonal—giving off a playful, argyle-inspired vibe—with one layered front and center, just waiting to be the star of your design. You could fill the squares with Designer Series Paper for a pop of pattern, stamp a bold image to make it shine, or even swap the squares for die-cuts or punched shapes for a creative twist. Try adding a little texture with an embossing folder, or keep it clean and simple and let the sentiment area take center stage with a big, beautiful greeting. However you choose to play with it, we can’t wait to see your projects—be sure to share your creations with us, we love seeing your ideas come to life!

So many fun and creative color challenge projects last week! Thank you all so much for sharing!

It was so hard to vote on a winner!

Big congrats to -

#tgifc541 Color Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so excited to bring you a fresh dose of creative inspiration this week with one of our favorite kinds of challenges—a Color Combo! This time, we’re playing with the vibrant trio of Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, and Secret Sea. Think of the cheerful pop of pink, the playful glow of orange, and the deep, dramatic blue setting the stage for endless possibilities in your paper crafting. Whether you blend them softly, use them as pops of color, or let them shine boldly as main colors, we can’t wait to see how these colors spark your creativity. Grab your supplies, make some magic, and don’t forget to share your beautiful projects with us—we love seeing what you create!

You all continue to wow us with your creativity, and last week was no different! We loved seeing your great arch themed projects. Thank you for sharing with us!

Congrates to our Winner!!!!
