#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 -

#tgifc535 Theme Challenge

Welcome back, crafty friends! 

We’re so happy you’ve joined us at TGIF Challenges—your creative playground for all things papercrafting. This week’s challenge is all about heart and heroism with the inspiring theme: “You’re My Hero.” Whether it’s a real-life role model, a fictional favorite, or someone who simply makes your day brighter, we invite you to let your imagination soar as you honor your hero through cardmaking, scrapbooking, or any other paper project. You might even find inspiration in your kid’s love of a particular superhero, or from a fun dress-up session that’s just begging to become a scrapbook page! Don’t forget to share the fun and invite your crafty friends to play along—we can’t wait to see how you bring this theme to life! 

YOU are truly heroes too, showing up week after week with all your awesome projects!

Congrats to our winner from last week -

We’re so excited to welcome you back to another inspiring week at TGIF Challenges! Your creativity continues to amaze us week after week, and we’re thrilled to have you joining in on the fun once again.

There are so many creative possibilities, and we can’t wait to see how you’re inspired.

Thanks for crafting along with us and making TGIF Challenges such a joyful, creative community. Now let that white ink work its magic! 🖊️✨

Happy creating!
