Welcome to the August 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!

If you haven't checked it out yet, we featured our Top 3 Cards & Layouts, plus the prize winners from the July challenge on yesterday's post! Who knows...maybe it will be YOU this month! You never know unless you play along! :)

This month's challenge is STITCHING!

We've deemed August all about stitching! We've given you a color palette mixed from our new collection called Just A Little Lovely, but it fits many of our past collections as well. There are so many ways to add stitching to your projects - you can use a sewing machine, or hand stitched elements. You can also use some of the dies from our Essentials collection, which emboss a stitching effect into your paper. Some of our past collections had stitched frames in them, so that is an option too!

The sky is the limit, and we can't wait to see your interpretation when it comes to stitching. As always, you are welcome to use just the theme, just the colors or mix them together and use both!

Some of our designers have created projects using the challenge to inspire you and help you get started! Check them out:
