#tgifc353 Project Challenge

 Hello!!!!

Happy Friday! Who's ready for another fun week of creating?!?!

We are, and we hope you are too. This week we have something a little different for you, and we are loaded up with excitement for it!!!


Thank you all for sharing all of your amazing projects last week.
Congratulations to our winner:





We also want to introduce you to ANOTHER new TGIF Design Team Member!
Hello, I'm Caroline, a new face at TGIF challenges. I'm a 50 years old and I live in The Netherlands together with Bas and our two sons Roel & Gio. I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for about 9 years now.  From origin I am a scrapbooker, but since I've discovered Stampin' Up! I am loving cardmaking as well. What I like to make most of all are packaging for gifts and little projects, like a box with cards. So this challenge had my name on it! My favorite color is Pool Party, because it goes with everything. My quote is: "When in doubt add Pool Party".  I love adding a touch of glitter to my projects as well as little elements and texture, preferably with embossing folders. I really enjoy challenges, so I am excited to go on this journey with TGIF challenges.


Take a look at the fantastic envelopes that our Design Team came up with this week!!!
