Ad Inspiration Contest

What's this? Another prize? Why yes, yes it is.

As a scrapbooker, I am guilty of buying matching shirts for my girls because I just got the cutest patterned paper that is absolutely going to match and make the cutest layout ever! It's true. I admit it. I wouldn't admit that to Brad, but I'll admit it to you. :)

We can find inspiration everywhere. Including magazines!

I Googled "vintage magazine ads" and found these fun ads! The lawn mower ad has a great design. I love all of the rectangles.

This Sears ad has amazing colors. I wouldn't use the design as inspiration, but I would definitely use the color scheme!

Alright, now it's your turn! Let's see your ad inspiration! All that you have to do is find an ad that you think is inspiring. And here is how the points will work:

+1 point = link to an online ad (just copy and paste the web address when you leave a comment)
+5 points = take a picture of an ad from a newspaper, magazine or any print media and upload it to your blog so that you can inspire others
+10 points = if you upload your ad inspiration to your blog AND create a layout or card from it!

One lucky winner will win the prize pack above AND the design team will use your ad inspiration when we create our layouts for June. Your name will appear in a special blog post that features all of our ad inspiration layouts.

You have until 12:01AM on Friday, May 29th to link your ads! The winners will all be announced on Friday! Good luck! :)

(And don't forget our Week 2 Prize!)

I love this ad because it's simple, with an amazing pop of color. It's going up on my blog at www.self-proclaimeddiva.blogspot.com!

Here is my vintage ad I found online. I like the one that says "Pink is for Girls". I think that would make an adorable layout title, and I love the colors.

Hello, I love that you have done this challenge! I found the perfect ad /cover of Martha Stewart's Wedding Magazine Winter edition to be the most beautiful yet! Here is the link to the ad http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/current-issue-winter

I created a page layout of my daughter Called "Butterflies" using the same concept as the magazine ad. You can see my creation by following this link to my blog and looking in the upper left hand corner for the picture!
