#tgifc572 Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday, crafty friends! 

 It’s time for another fun challenge here at TGIF Challenges, and this week we’re bringing you a sketch challenge to spark your creativity. Sketches are such a great starting point—they give you a layout to build from while still leaving plenty of room to make it your own! Use the inspiration sketch as your guide and pull out your favorite products to bring the design to life. Maybe you’ll layer a beautiful Designer Series Paper in those tilted squares or add stamped images, maybe you won't use "squares" at all!!—there are so many ways to interpret this layout. We can’t wait to see how you make this sketch your own! Be sure to enter your project using the link at the end of the post for a chance to be our weekly challenge winner. 

Have FUN!!!!!

#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 -
