#548 Theme Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so happy you’re here with us for another week of fun and creativity. This time, we’ve got a Theme Challenge that’s just in time for spooky season—Festive Treats! Our inspiration image shows off those fabulous iridescent treat bags and the adorable kitty-witch from the Spooky Halloween Bundle, but don’t worry—you don’t need to have those exact products to play along. We encourage you to dive into your stash, get creative, and use whatever you have on hand to capture the spirit of the season. Whether you make treat bags, cards, tags, or whatever 3D project you come up with, we can’t wait to see how you bring your ideas to life and share them with our TGIF community!

Y'all had a BLAST playing along with last week's challenge and made it really hard to choose a winner. After all the votes were in, we finally decided on:

CONGRATULATIONS!

#tgifc546 Sketch Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so glad you’re here with us for another week of creativity and inspiration. This time we’ve got a Sketch Challenge that’s both simple and full of possibilities! The design features an overlapping square and horizontal rectangle with two playful accents. You can follow the sketch as a literal design map, or just let the overall shapes inspire you in new directions—it’s completely up to you. Maybe you’ll layer patterned papers, highlight a bold stamped image, or swap the accents for embellishments that make your project shine. However you interpret it, we can’t wait to see your unique take and to celebrate your creativity right alongside our TGIF community!

Wasn't last week's Color Challenge so fun? Thank you all for sharing your amazing projects.

Congrats to our Challenge Winner -
