#tgifc598 Sketch Challenge

 Hello, and Happy Friday, TGIF friends!

 It’s time for another sketch challenge! 

This week’s layout gives you a great starting point with layered shapes and a fun banner detail, but there’s plenty of room to make it your own. Follow the sketch closely or use it as a jumping-off point for your own creative twist. We can't wait to see how it inspires you! And with Challenge 600 just around the corner, we hope you’ll play along and help us celebrate this fun milestone. Enter your project for this week's challenge using the link at the end of the post for a chance to be a weekly challenge winner, and tag us @TGIFChallenges on your socials so we can celebrate your creativity!

Thank you all for all of the inspiration that you shared with us last week. That was a great color challenge!

#tgifc595 Product Challenge

Hello, and Happy Friday, TGIF Friends!!!!

Welcome back. We hope that we have another fun challenge for you this week to jump start your creativity. There’s something so fun about beautiful Designer Series Paper, and this week we’re putting it front and center! For our Product Challenge, we’re inviting you to create with the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper. Let those gorgeous patterns do the heavy lifting, or mix and match the prints to create your own unique look. Try featuring a favorite pattern, combining several designs, fussy cutting a detail, coloring with your favorite medium, or using the paper in a way you might not normally think of. Now, you know we want as many people to play along as possible, so if you don't have the Designer Series Paper (seriously, go order some) see what you might have in your stash that is similar.

Thank you all for your great Sketch Challenge cards last week! We sure do appreciate y'all's participation!

Congratulations to our winner - 

Suzy Hinton

How did our Design Team create with this awesome Paper? Well, take a look!

 Hello, and Happy Friday TGIF Friends! We are so glad you are joining us this week for our Sketch Challenge! This week's layout gives you a great starting point with a bold horizontal design, a central focal element, and plenty of room to make the sketch your own.

Use the sketch as your roadmap, but don't be afraid to put your own spin on it. Change up the shapes, flip the orientation, play with proportions, or let the basic layout inspire an entirely different idea. You know the game!!! Post it, share it, Tag us, and enter below!!!

Fun, right?

Thank you for all of the amazing Color Challenge projects last week. It was so fun to see your creativity.

#tgifc593 Color Challenge

 Hello and Happy Friday!

It's already September?!?! How did that even happen? It seems like the weeks and months are just zipping by this year. With the start of a new month, that means that we will kick things off with a Color Challenge! This week's Color Challenge pairs the soft, creamy warmth of Very Vanilla with the calming richness of Lost Lagoon and the pretty pop of Fresh Freesia. Together, these shades create a palette that feels both fresh and beautifully balanced, with plenty of room for your own creative style. (If you don't have these exact colors, just let them inspire you!)

We are so excited to see what you create! 

Thank you all so much for the awesome projects last week! We are so excited to announce the challenge winner:

CONGRATULATIONS!

 Hello and Happy Friday TGIF Friends!!!! 

We have a fun Inspiration Challenge for you this week. Soft, sunny, and full of timeless charm, this week's challenge invites you to discover what catches your creative eye! Maybe it's the buttery yellow blooms, the delicate watercolor style, the fresh floral bouquet, or the soft cottage-garden feel. Or maybe you'll be inspired by the monochromatic palette and elegant botanical details. There are so many directions you can take this beautiful image!

Create a handmade card, scrapbook layout, gift packaging, journal page, home décor piece, or any paper crafting project you can think of inspired by this week's photo. Whether you recreate the floral arrangement or simply borrow the colors, textures, or overall mood, we can't wait to see where your imagination leads.

#tgifc590 Sketch Challenge

 Hello, Hello!!!! Happy Friday, TGIF Friends, it's time for another creative week at TGIF Challenges, and we're excited to share a brand new Sketch Challenge with you! This clean, modern layout features overlapping hexagons paired with a simple banner—an ideal combination for showcasing a favorite stamped image, layered die-cuts, pretty Designer Series Paper, or even a bold sentiment. Don't feel tied to the exact shapes, either! Swap the hexagons for circles, florals, or any shape that fits your style while still capturing the spirit of the sketch. That's the fun of sketch challenges—they provide just enough direction while leaving plenty of room for your own creativity! Whether you're creating a card, scrapbook layout, tag, or another paper crafting project, we hope this sketch inspires your next masterpiece. 

Thank you all so much for all of your awesome Color Challenge projects last week. We loved them, such great inspiration!

#tgifc589 Color Challenge

 Hello,  hello! Happy Friday, Happy August, and welcome back to TGIF Challenges! 

We're kicking things off with one of our favorites—a Color Challenge! This month's Color Combo combines the bright beauty of Berry Burst, the sunny sweetness of Lemon Lolly, and the always versatile neutral of Crumb Cake. Together, these colors create a combination that's both cheerful and fun, perfect for so many occasions. Whether you let one color steal the spotlight or find the perfect balance between all three, we hope this trio inspires you to create something uniquely yours. So gather your favorite stamps, papers, and embellishments, and let your creativity take the lead! When you're ready to share your project, post it on your blog or social media, then tag @TGIFChallenges and add #tgifc589 so we can celebrate your beautiful creations and inspire fellow paper crafters to join the fun. Once you do that, make sure you come back here to link up, and you just might be next week's winner!
