Love flowers…very versatile and great for all occasions!
Loved the theme this month as I have so many beautiful pinkfresh studio products that need love – most of them floral. Completely forgot to leave a comment till now as I entered the challenge so last minute! Thanks for all the inspiration.
I loved the inspiration this month!
I loved this wide open theme. So enjoyable using pink fresh products.
Love having a flower challenge for this month. Had fun finally watercoloring on black paper. Thanks for continuing the monthly challenges.
Card inspired by design team member and I loved it!!
Love this months theme and so appropriate for using Pinkfresh products!
Played along one last time (I think) haha
I just joined this challenge and because I am such a Pink Fresh Studios junkie, I hope to join every month now, if I can remember lol!! Beautiful projects by the design teams and always inspiring!!
Please look at my instagram where this goes to because it is an interactive card.
Yay, I played along twice! The “congrats” 12×12 layout screamed for some hand stitching on the floral paper. And the TN spread (happy memories) has flowers that I made with a heart punch.
Some future challenge ideas: monochromatic, or paper only!
So, I finally played with the Magnolia set I have had for a while. A bit monochromatic with a touch of gold…. had fun creating it!! Love all the inspiration from the team!!
So fun with all the flowers for this challenge… I love patterned paper that was a collab with Altenew and the entire Chrysanthemum suite remains one of my all time faves although I love all the things!! lol
I’m so glad I got to meet Heather and Lea at Simon Says CREATE on Friday.
Thank you for another fun challenge! 😀🌸
Give me all the flowers!!! This is a great springtime challenge.
always love a good floral challenge and the chance to use my pinkfresh studio products!
Pinkfresh always has gorgeous florals – in stamps, in papers, in stencils…love your designers’ takes on this challenge!
This will be my first submission to this company’s challenges. All cards look awesome!
Please view my scrap book page #31 and read the meaning of the title. I love these challenges. I Love Pink Fresh Studios.
As it is not yet garden time where I live, I need lots of flowers – just the right theme! So hard to choose which Pinkfresh products to use as there are plenty gorgeous ones!
First time taking part in challenge. Planning to make more. Love pinkfresh florals.
Great challenge! I love flowers!!
Love the designers work of art!
I made this spread with the Chrysanthemum collection and I love these colours! Thank you for the inspiration!!!
This is my first entry at Pinkfresh challenges! Thanks to the team for all of the beautiful inspiration!
Flowers for this time of year is the perfect challenge theme! And Pink Fresh has so many lovely ones!
Especially like the hexagon card…soft colors and so imaginative! Each card has something special about it….hard to pick my favorite, but couldn’t keep my eyes off the hexagons!
Oh so many possibilities!!!
