#tgifc596 Theme/Inspiration Challenge

 Hello and Happy Friday, TGIF friends!

There’s something wonderfully autumnal about this week’s inspiration image! 🍂 Let the falling leaves, warm oranges and reds, watercolor feel, or even the simple “Hello Fall” sentiment spark your creativity. Go ahead and create a card, scrapbook page, treat package, home décor piece, or anything else that captures the feeling of the season. Take inspiration from the colors, imagery, layout, or overall mood—There’s no wrong way to be inspired, so have fun and see where your imagination takes you! 🍁

We’d love to see what you create! Share your project with us using the link at the end of the post for a chance to be this week’s challenge winner, and tag us @TGIFChallenges in your socials so we can celebrate your creativity!

Thank you all for sharing all of your gorgeous projects last week! After much deliberation, we finally settled on a winner!

Congratulations -

#tgifc595 Product Challenge

Hello, and Happy Friday, TGIF Friends!!!!

Welcome back. We hope that we have another fun challenge for you this week to jump start your creativity. There’s something so fun about beautiful Designer Series Paper, and this week we’re putting it front and center! For our Product Challenge, we’re inviting you to create with the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper. Let those gorgeous patterns do the heavy lifting, or mix and match the prints to create your own unique look. Try featuring a favorite pattern, combining several designs, fussy cutting a detail, coloring with your favorite medium, or using the paper in a way you might not normally think of. Now, you know we want as many people to play along as possible, so if you don't have the Designer Series Paper (seriously, go order some) see what you might have in your stash that is similar.

Thank you all for your great Sketch Challenge cards last week! We sure do appreciate y'all's participation!

Congratulations to our winner -

#tgifc594 Sketch Challenge

 Hello, and Happy Friday TGIF Friends! We are so glad you are joining us this week for our Sketch Challenge! This week's layout gives you a great starting point with a bold horizontal design, a central focal element, and plenty of room to make the sketch your own. Keep it clean and simple or dress it up with layers, patterns, textures, and embellishments—the choice is yours!

Use the sketch as your roadmap, but don't be afraid to put your own spin on it. Change up the shapes, flip the orientation, play with proportions, or let the basic layout inspire an entirely different idea. You know the game!!! Post it, share it, Tag us, and enter below!!!

Fun, right?

Thank you for all of the amazing Color Challenge projects last week. It was so fun to see your creativity.

Congratulations to our challenge winner -

#tgifc593 Color Challenge

 Hello and Happy Friday!

It's already September?!?! How did that even happen? It seems like the weeks and months are just zipping by this year. With the start of a new month, that means that we will kick things off with a Color Challenge! This week's Color Challenge pairs the soft, creamy warmth of Very Vanilla with the calming richness of Lost Lagoon and the pretty pop of Fresh Freesia. Together, these shades create a palette that feels both fresh and beautifully balanced, with plenty of room for your own creative style. (If you don't have these exact colors, just let them inspire you!)

We are so excited to see what you create! 

Thank you all so much for the awesome projects last week! We are so excited to announce the challenge winner:

CONGRATULATIONS!
