Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends—and welcome to our first challenge of 2026! We’re so excited to kick off January creating right alongside you. This week’s Color Challenge features a beautifully cool and calming palette of Balmy Blue, Smoky Slate, and Highland Heather. This wintery trio feels like a quiet snowfall—soft blues, gentle grays, and a hint of lavender drifting through the season. It’s perfect for frosty holiday cards, serene winter scrapbook pages, elegant tags, or even cozy packaging and décor as we settle into the new year. However you choose to use these colors, we can’t wait to see your creative spin!
