#tgifc186 Double Inspiration Challenge

Hi TGIF Challenge friends!!!

If you look closely, you can often find inspiration for your crafting everywhere you look.

We found a couple of photos of some beautiful Fall scenes as inspiration for this month's inspiration challenge.

But wait there's more because what is more inspiring than new stamps?!
That's right we have a sneak peek of a new stamp set coming in January!

Meet Humming Along...

So y'all choose whichever inspires you most & get to crafting!

We want to give a quick thank you to all who participated in last week's sketch challenge.
There were some beautiful entries, we finally came to a vote for the winner and

Congratulations -

Mary Deatherage

We also want to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to our TGIF girls Ashley & Stesha for making the 2019 Artisan Design Team!

#tgifc134 It's Theme Week at TGIF Challenges!

Theme weeks are so fun! The best part is that they can spark your creativity in so many directions. We think that you will LOVE this week's theme!

 It just seems natural to reflect on things that we are grateful for sometimes. In the US, we are getting ready to celebrate our Thanksgiving. It's a perfect time to slow down for a moment, and recognize all of the blessings in our lives. Friends, families, careers...there's so much to be grateful for. 

Speaking of Gratitude - there is no way we could do this post without expressing our sincerest gratitude for all of YOU!!! All of you who come to this blog, week after week. Some of you play along and post, some of you just might find inspiration or starting points each week. We love the support, the comments - Our team is a fantastic team, but it's y'all that keep us going!!!

We of course want to congratulate our winner from last week's challenge:
