#tgifc552 Inspiration Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so grateful you’re here creating with us each week—it’s such a joy to see your projects fill our feed with inspiration! This week’s Inspiration Challenge is all about celebrating gratitude and the abundance and warmth of the season. The photo features a beautiful autumn cornucopia resting on a wooden picnic table, overflowing with fruits and surrounded by pumpkins—a true symbol of harvest and gratitude. You might be inspired by the rich fall colors, the textures of nature, or the cozy, thankful feeling it evokes. Create a card, a tag, or even something special for your holiday table, like a name card or centerpiece. However this photo inspires you, we can’t wait to see your creations—be sure to share them with us on socials and keep the seasonal creativity flowing in our TGIF community!

As always, we are so grateful for all of your participation each week.

Congrats to our Challenge Winner -

#tgifc551 Sketch Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so happy you’re here with us for another week of inspiration and creativity. This time, we’ve got a Sketch Challenge that’s full of layers and possibilities! The design features a vertical panel on the left, a playful diagonal square in the center, and a main focus layer on top—just waiting for your creative touch. Try mixing in a little texture with embossing or stitched details, add some softness with a layer of vellum, or let Designer Series Paper take center stage. It’s the perfect sketch for showing off your favorite patterns and accents, and there’s plenty of room to make it your own. Whether you go bold and bright or soft and subtle, we can’t wait to see how you bring this fun, layered sketch to life and share your projects with our TGIF community!

#tgifc550 Color Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so glad you’re here with us for another week of creative fun. This time, we’ve got one of our favorites—a Color Challenge! Our combo this week features Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, and Old Olive—a trio that feels like a walk through a late-summer garden just starting to turn toward fall. The soft neutral warmth of Crumb Cake pairs beautifully with the cheerful pop of Calypso Coral and the earthy richness of Old Olive. Whether you’re inspired to create something rustic and textured or clean and elegant, these colors are sure to bring cozy charm to your project. We can’t wait to see how you bring this palette to life and share your creations with our wonderful TGIF community! 

Thank you for sharing all of your great projects last week. You inspire us more than you know.

We loved all of the projects last week, but one really stood out.

Congrats to our winner -
