March 2020 Challenge
Welcome to the March 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 January 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 all about FRAMES!
This month we want you to Frame It! This could mean using an actual frame around your photo, or clustering around it with stickers & embellishments. For our cardmaking friends, it's a perfect time to pull out those brand new Frame Builder Botanical die sets, or use some of your favorite Essentials framing dies!
We have picked colors from the brand new Super Cool collection, but as always, you are more than welcome to use any Pinkfresh Studio products you have. The colors coordinate with the following premium dye inks: Sky Blue, Mint, Ballet Slipper, Sunshine & Passion Fruit.
We will also have some coordinating freebie cutfiles become available throughout the month of March in our Facebook Friends Group. We would love for you to join, hang out and grab all our freebie cutfiles!
The sky is the limit, and we can't wait to see your challenge 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!
Some of our designers have created projects using the challenge to inspire you and help you get started! Check them out:

I’m hoping to add to my PFS stash, but in the meantime it’s great you have a theme or a color combo for challenges. That makes it possible for me to come up with an entry using my limited PFS goodies. I really had fun making 2 very different cards for the March challenge. The DT projects are always inspiring!
Note: I deleted Card # 60 and re-posted to Card #65.
The comments from Card #60 is still good for Card #65.
Sorry for the confusion.
Card 60 – Love Stands Out Card
When I was creating this card, I had in mind the front line personnel – doctors, nurses, pharmacists, or even the store staff who stock our daily needs. Their love during this epidemic stands out all the more. Truly grateful for all you do.
I used the Adore Alpha Dies to cut out the “Love” words to create the frame. In the middle, I used a transparency to hold the sentiment “Your love stands out”. To make it more interesting, I made it to be a “stand up” card.
I completed my card this evening. I will get pics in the morning and get in on my blog and linked in! I just saw your notice too about having to close down. Y’all stay safe and well. We will all still be here when you get back!
I am so happy to know about this challange ! Thanks a lot
A sketch challenge it’s always fun!
Thank you for giving us challenges to work towards each month! I love seeing all the inspiration!
Lovely layouts … and delicious cards … fabulous inspiration, thank you! Anita :)
How exciting to be playing along with this challenge. I used the same stamp set for both my cards and my layout. I love your beautiful watercolours. Can’t wait for next months challenge to play along. Thanks!
Thank you for hosting such a fun challenge this month!
So happy I got to make something for this challenge, I don’t always manage to make the projects I have planned…! This time, there will be more than one entry, and all using the same stamp set in different ways :-)
El desafío de este mes es súper inspirador! Me he decantado por los colores verde y azul. :)
Very inspiring challenge, it motivated me to use one of the freebie cut-files from the FB group! Layout added. Many thanks!
Love the colors of this challenge with all the promise of spring! Thank you.
Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.
Using a cut file from the Facebook group, I created a layout using “frames”. I love stitching and coloring.
