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 & more!

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

August is all about BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUNDS!

You can create your beautiful background in an any way you please! You can use patterned paper, stencils, diecuts, washi tape...the sky is the limit! All we ask is that you have something in your background.

The following ink shades are the best matches for the colors in the challenge: Coral Reef, Apricot, Rocky Slope, Sky Blue & Mint.

As always you can use just the theme, just the colors, or use both for your projects! Here is some inspiration for you from our amazing team:
