Not as many cards in the gallery which I assume most of you were enjoying the holiday time with families! We had a nice New Years here staying in and playing games with our family.

Such a wonderful card with so many details to look at. From embossing to sequins to die cuts it is so fun. Love the glittery balloons!

Just a quick little snowman card to share with you. I adore how this little guy turned out. The colors of this Echo Park Collection, Winter Fun, were just perfect for this challenge. You can find the cut file with this link. https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/snowman-card-219575.html

Hey everyone, Laurel here. I love winter and of course along with that comes snow and snowmen. I wish we got more where we live so that we could build snowmen that actually stayed around for awhile. I was inspired by the snowmen and the sketch for my card. I used a cute clip art image, you can check it out HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait to see how you are inspired.

Happy New Year! Did you have fun celebrating or were you in bed by midnight?

This week’s Inspired By Challenge is a flurry of fun and frosty delight! ⛄❄️ With pastel blues, smiling snowmen, and whimsical party details, this winter celebration is bursting with charm. Will it be the playful color palette, the layered paper trees, or those adorable frosted faces that spark your creativity? Let the image and sketch guide your project—and don’t forget to tag us when you share your snowman-inspired masterpiece!

For those of you who are new to our challenge, every week we post our inspiration photo challenge and sketch and hope that you will join us by creating a project for our challenge.

Just a reminder, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colors, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card?

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Did you enjoy time with family? Travel somewhere? Stay home? We stayed here. My daughter had Christmas morning at her place and we had everyone here for Christmas dinner. I got several crafty items as gifts so that of course was exciting!

Lots of yummy creations in the gallery last week! I love all gingerbread but lately I have been drawn to the hard gingersnaps…. to dunk in tea of course 😉

Mary Reiner

I love how she has her card shaped like a cookie tray and of course those cookies look fabulous! Congratulations Mary!
