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

Hey everyone, Laurel here and I absolutely love this week’s challenge. My grandma always had blue hydrangeas on either side of her front door (and I actually have one in my yard that is a cutting that was started form one of hers!) so when I see them anywhere I think of her.

I was inspired by the theme, colors, hydrangeas, and loosely by the sketch. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew that the new Flower Shoppe collection by Carta Bella was perfect ( I absolutely love this new collection!)

I used an old MFT background die to add some more depth to the background. Then I layered on pieces of the pattern paper and one of the frames from the Frames & Tags and then stitched. I then topped with a hydrangea sticker. As always I adhered the sticker to scrap paper and fussy cut out so I could mount of foam squares. The thank you is also a sticker from the collection.

I can’t wait to see how you are inspired!

    Such a pretty card! And I love this weeks challenge too. But what I love even more is that you have a plant grown from your grandmother. So sweet.
