January 2021 Challenge
Welcome to the January challenge at Pinkfresh Studio! You all created such amazing projects for last month's challenge, and we can't wait to see what you create this month! This challenge is for ALL papercrafters - including scrapbooking, cardmaking, minis, journals, notebooks & more!
If you haven't checked it out yet, we featured our Top 3 Cards & Layouts, plus the prize winners from the December challenge on yesterday's post! Who knows...maybe it will be YOU this month! You never know unless you play along! :)
This month is a 2020 Challenge in Review!
We think it's so fun to take a look back at the previous year of challenges, and take them on with fresh eyes! It's the perfect time to play along with a challenge you didn't get around to, or to use up some leftover goodies from all our paper collections, or products that you didn't have a chance to create with in 2020.
The sky is the limit, and we can't wait to see your challenge review projects. This can include layouts, cards, notebook spreads, mini albums, DIY decor...anything that is papercrafting related. As always, you are welcome to use just the theme, just the colors or mix them together and use both! Just be sure to mention which month you were inspired by in your post!

Loving all the creations, this was fun to try!
I’ve had so much fun and will definitly participate again!
I love Dainty Blossoms die set, so that’s what I used for my card using the June theme. I die cut a bunch at once, so I’m ready to make more cards! Beautiful inspiration from the DT!
So happy that I found the Monthly Challenges tab—I’m so in love with your layered stencils. Absolutely genius idea!
My first time playing with the layered stencilling and was so impressed. I need to buy more!!!
So much fun to revisit all of these great challenges. I fist found this amazing inspiring shop and it’s wonderful challenges in March 2020. No going back now! I am a true fan!
Love this challenge. So fun to look back. Your challenges are so fun and get the creative juices flowing
Happy 2021! Such a great challenge. It was so hard to choose from the 12 themes.
Hugs, Jinny
Love the freedom of this challenge! Just what I needed to start the year 🤗 I posted my handmade agenda inspired by the November colors with beautiful Days of Splendor papers!
