Welcome! At Inspired By, we believe creativity can spark from the simplest things—a cozy photo, a fun sketch, or a seasonal theme. Each week we share a fresh inspiration image and a coordinating sketch to get your ideas flowing. Whether you’re into cardmaking, scrapbooking, mixed media, or any type of project, you’re invited to interpret the challenge your way. There’s no right or wrong—just inspiration and creativity. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Current Challenge

This week’s Inspired By challenge had me scrounging through my stamp and die sets to find a bird I wanted to use. It’s always fun to rediscover an item from from my stash that hasn’t been used in a very long time. This set from Paper Smooches called Natural Beauties was not exactly what I had in mind when I started my search but, when I discovered it, I knew I wanted to use it.

Inspiration for this card first came from the little birds on the mittens, then the colors and sketch.

What is it about this week’s challenge that inspires you? Is it the mittens, birds, colors, textures, sketch? We hope you’re inspired to play along. ~MarDi
