Welcome! At Inspired By, we believe creativity can spark from the simplest thingsāa 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 youāre into cardmaking, scrapbooking, mixed media, or any type of project, youāre invited to interpret the challenge your way. Thereās no right or wrongājust inspiration and creativity. We canāt wait to see what you create!
Current Challenge
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 weekās Inspired By Challenge is a flurry of fun and frosty delight! āāļø 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 projectāand donāt 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 š
I love how she has her card shaped like a cookie tray and of course those cookies look fabulous! Congratulations Mary!

It was so fun to see so many non traditional coloured Christmas cards in the gallery last week! Curious if your home decor for Christmas is traditional or non?
