#tgifc569 Inspiration Challenge

Hello friends and welcome back to TGIF Challenges! This week we’re celebrating all things fresh and cheerful with a brand new Inspiration Challenge, inspired by this gorgeous spring scene bursting with colorful blooms and fluttering butterflies. Let the photo guide you however you’d like—pull colors from the vibrant flowers, capture the light and airy feeling, or focus on the sweet “Hello Spring” vibe. Whether you create a bright handmade card, a spring scrapbook page, or even treats or decor,  we can’t wait to see how this image sparks your creativity. Use what you have, follow your heart, and make something that feels happy and new—just like spring itself!

Thank you so much for all of your great submissions last week!

#tgifc568 Sketch Challenge

 Hello friends and welcome back to TGIF Challenges! 

This week we’re diving into a fresh Sketch Challenge, and this one is all about beautiful layers and a stunning focal image. The sketch features a tall, layered panel with a bold main element front and center, finished off with a sweet little sentiment banner—perfect for letting your favorite stamps, dies, or patterned papers shine. While it’s designed as a card, don’t stop there… this layout would be gorgeous as a scrapbook page, framed art, mini album cover, or even dressed up for handmade gift packaging. Flip it, rotate it, simplify it, or add extra texture—make it your own and let your creativity lead the way! We can’t wait to see what you create!

We were so glad to see that you loved the Color Challenge as much as we did!

Congrats to our WINNER -

#tgifc565 Inspiration Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! This week’s Inspiration Challenge invites you to soak in the soft, uplifting beauty of our inspiration image, from the dreamy pink-blossomed tree and bright blue sky to the sweet “Dear Friend” sentiment tucked in the corner. Let that heartfelt greeting inspire you to create something meaningful—perhaps a friendship card, a note of encouragement, or even a scrapbook page celebrating someone special. Whether you’re drawn to the florals, the peaceful scenery, or the message of connection and kindness, we can’t wait to see how you bring this image to life in your own creative way. (Then make sure you send it to that friend you're thinking of to brighten their day!)

What awesome projects last week, friends! Thank you!

Congrats to our Challenge Winner -

#tgifc564 Sketch Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, crafty friends! This week we’re bringing you another great Sketch Challenge, and we love how this versatile design gives you so many creative possibilities. While the sketch is laid out as a card, it also works beautifully as a scrapbook page, mini album spread, or even a framed piece of art—just let the layout guide your layers, shapes, and focal point as you make it your own. Whether you stick closely to the sketch or use it as a springboard for something totally unique, we are so excited to see what you create!

We LOVE how y'all loved last week's Color Combo Challenge. It sure was a fun one, right?

After some deliberation, we finally chose a winner - 

Congratulations,

Stephanie Severin

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends—and welcome to our first challenge of February! We’re so excited to be starting this love-filled month creating right alongside you. This week’s Color Challenge features a gorgeous and expressive trio of Bubble Bath, Melon Mambo, and Basic Black. This palette feels like a perfect fit for February—soft pink tones for romance, a bold pop of pink for fun, and classic black to add a little drama and style. Whether you go subtle and romantic, or fun and bold, it’s wonderful for Valentine projects, heartfelt cards, chic scrapbook pages, or anything that celebrates love and creativity. However you choose to use these colors, we can’t wait to see your ideas come to life!

Thank you so much for all of your amazing projects last month. It was so fun for us to look at all of your creativity. We finally decided on a winner for last week's challenge, and it is....A TIE!

#tgifc561 Product Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so happy to be creating with you again this week. Our latest challenge is all about a favorite product—heat embossing powders! Whether you love crisp white embossing, rich metallics, or clear embossing over ink, this is the perfect opportunity to pull out your embossing powders and heat tools. We especially encourage you to experiment and try something new—layer powders, emboss over watercolor or ink blending, use resist techniques, or add texture with multiple colors and finishes. Let heat embossing be a subtle accent or the star of your project on cards, scrapbook pages, tags, or even packaging and décor. However you choose to play, we can’t wait to see the shine, texture, and creativity you bring!

Thank you all for sharing your amazing projects last week!

Congrats to our challenge winner -
