October 2022 Challenge

October 2022 Challenge

02 Oct 2022 25 Comments

Welcome to the October 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 September challenge on last week's post! Who knows...maybe it will be YOU this month! You never know unless you play along! :)

October is all about Fall Leaves!

This is the perfect time of year to incorporate fall leaves into your projects, and many of your supplies that feature leaves can be adapted to fall colors very easily! You can use dies, stencils, hot foil plates or patterned papers. You can also ink blend or watercolor for a more technique driven way to add these elements. There are so many fun ways to add fall leaves to your projects!

The following ink shades are the best matches for the colors in the challenge: Berrylicious, Evergreen, Marigold, Ocean Breeze, & Lavender.

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 look forward to each month’s challenge. Thanks for having the option of a theme or a color combo. It makes it possible for everyone to enter. I went very simple with my card entry & loved the result.

Great challenge to use the beautiful leaves stencil.

23 Oct 2022 Deepa Robbins

Another great challenge! I’m always big on Christmas and just got the products from the last holiday release. I couldn’t wait so I made some festive leaves cards instead of fall leaves using the colors from the inspo image! Can’t wait to see more Christmas/holiday challenges in the coming months! 🙂

21 Oct 2022 Elisa Fornezza

I love the autumn leaves and this unusual colours palette! Thank you for the inspiration 😊

20 Oct 2022 Maree Crozier

Love scrapping fall! Pulled out the gorgeous new Good Times collection to play along!

19 Oct 2022 Kathy Eddy

I used the colors i had to be close to these and also the leaves stencil and die set and gazebo die. I didn’t think the colors would look good at all but was very surprised how much I liked the end result of my card.

During the Scrapbooking event, I made several of the bases of the folding cards for Moments that Matter mini album. However, since I didn’t have the ephemra at the time, I didn’t finish them. Once I got it, I decided not to make the mini album since I prefer to make 12 × 12 scrapbook layouts. I used those bases on the page as interactive photo holders. Each one unfolds or comes out of the tag except for the clear frame with enamel dots. I thought it was a fun way to use items that were already cut.

13 Oct 2022 Amy Moore

I used the theme Leaves for my card. Past Christmas and this years Christmas stamps were used.

10 Oct 2022 Cori G

For my 2nd card, I used the Berry Branch we received in the Create & Connect Holiday Cardmaking we just did this past weekend. The whole event was wonderful and it was fun to get in the holiday mood!

09 Oct 2022 Rosemary D

09 Oct 2022 Claire Hawkins

I adore the Fall Foliage stencil and die, and Nathalie’s beautiful layout inspired me to pull out those products and have a play.

09 Oct 2022 Stephanie Stephi

I used stencils, stamps and dies.
I wanted to get the feeling of leaves in the wind.

07 Oct 2022 Claudia Ressler

I am always amazed at the beautiful designs the DT creates. Thanks for another awesome challenge!
