Inspired By... New Years
Merry Christmas! We hope you have a wonderful holiday and enjoy lots of time with family! We decided to still have a challenge this week in case some of you are off on holidays and have a little more crafty time.
This week’s Inspired By Challenge is ringing in the New Year with sparkle and sophistication! ✨🎉 With its dramatic black, gold, and champagne palette, dreamy lighting, and elegant textures, this cozy-meets-chic space sets the stage for celebration. Will you be inspired by the luxe metallics, soft neutrals, festive balloons, or that sense of fresh beginnings? Let the photo and sketch spark your creative countdown—and don’t forget to tag us when you share your dazzling design!
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?
How are you inspired? Create a project and in your post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge 😊 Now for our Design Team's inspiration:
