Welcome to the May 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 April challenge on yesterday's post! Who knows...maybe it will be YOU this month! You never know unless you play along! :)
May is all about ANYTHING SPRING!
Spring photos, spring memories, spring flowers, spring colors....anything that pertains to spring is what this challenge is about! You don't have to use the word spring anywhere on your projects, but you certainly can if you'd like. We just want to see fresh feeling projects inspired by this wonderful time of year!
The following ink shades are the best matches for the colors in the challenge: Sparkling Rose, Candy Apple, Aquamarine, Ocean Breeze, and Sunshine.
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:

I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful entries from May!

Update: I managed to get 2 of my pages uploaded — YAY! Neither of these were the ones I had plan to link up, because I would have preferred to share the ones where I had also used Pinkfresh stamps instead of just the patterned papers, but it is what it is. I had already taken pics of these pages so I was able to upload them despite my dead camera battery. I’ll look forward to sharing the other pages soon.
This challenge actually took me further out of my comfort zone than I expected it to, because some other manufacturers’ stamps that I routinely use to make planner layouts with. I didn’t use any of those to make these pages, and it is a refreshing change from my usual look. I enjoyed the challenge!

For the past few days, I have been busy making planner layouts that I am hoping to enter in this challenge. However, it might not happen, because my camera battery died. I am frantically trying to charge it!
If I’m able to get the pics uploaded in time, I’ll be linking up my 3 favorite pages (I made more than 3 of them.) They’re made using the “Take Pride” stamp set, some of the newer patterned papers (for example, “reason to smile”) and some of the older patterned papers (for example, “Hope” - soooooooooo pretty; it’s one of my favorites!)I hope I can squeeze my entries in before the deadline, but either way, I am really looking forward to using these planner layouts. Thanks for making such wonderful, beautiful products, and thanks also for hosting this fun and motivating challenge. I really appreciate it!

This is my first challenge and I’ll be back for more!!

After almost a year of reno’s and having no access to make cards, I finally was able to dig into some past pink fresh orders and start creating. After making a ton of ANEMONE MAGIC cards, I thought I could try and enter them into the spring theme, as flowers are very springy! Love the monthly challenges and even got a layout from one of the past recipients submissions for one of my cards. Even if I don’t play along often, I love coming here and seeing what everyone else has created. Thanks so much pink fresh for the challenge and inspiration from other crafters.
