#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 -

#tgifc564 Sketch Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, crafty friends! This week we’re bringing you another great Sketch Challenge, and we love how this versatile design gives you so many creative possibilities. While the sketch is laid out as a card, it also works beautifully as a scrapbook page, mini album spread, or even a framed piece of art—just let the layout guide your layers, shapes, and focal point as you make it your own. Whether you stick closely to the sketch or use it as a springboard for something totally unique, we are so excited to see what you create!

We LOVE how y'all loved last week's Color Combo Challenge. It sure was a fun one, right?

After some deliberation, we finally chose a winner -

Congratulations,

Stephanie Severin

#tgifc563 Color Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends—and welcome to our first challenge of February! We’re so excited to be starting this love-filled month creating right alongside you. This week’s Color Challenge features a gorgeous and expressive trio of Bubble Bath, Melon Mambo, and Basic Black. This palette feels like a perfect fit for February—soft pink tones for romance, a bold pop of pink for fun, and classic black to add a little drama and style. Whether you go subtle and romantic, or fun and bold, it’s wonderful for Valentine projects, heartfelt cards, chic scrapbook pages, or anything that celebrates love and creativity. However you choose to use these colors, we can’t wait to see your ideas come to life!

Thank you so much for all of your amazing projects last month. It was so fun for us to look at all of your creativity. We finally decided on a winner for last week's challenge, and it is....A TIE!
