Inspired Ideas

As I told you before, right now I am enrolled in Blogging Your Way e-class by
Holly Becker of Decor8.Our homework this week was to feature one of ten ideas that we talked about.I choose to highlight a magazine.I immediately thought of my friend Amy Powers,and her magazine Inspired Ideas. A few years ago my Dad was featured in the magazine as an Inspired Friend.I love this magazine as it combines fresh ideas, new artists,whimsical layouts,and vintage finds.In this mostrecent issue, Amy had Mary Engelbreit as one of her artist profiles.
I was so glad to see her since I was a big fan of her late magazine,
Home Companion.Also there are some wonderful projects.They are not difficult and have great results. Amy includes all the patterns for the projects in appendix in the back of the magazine.
The magazine is $3.30 for the online version or $38.70 for a printed one.
It includes 117+ pages full of inspiration,projects,and artist that will brighten your day.
Please check out Amy's wonderful blog,to read more about her and her magazine.
I want to say a big Thank You to Amy for letting me blog about her and her magazine.



Below are some pictures of the latest issue of Inspired Ideas and the pages from when my Dad was featured.
Enjoy!

Inspiration Board

Right now I(Chloe) am enrolled in Blogging Your Way e-Class by decor8. One of our assignments was to make a "mood Board" showing different pictures, colors, and items that are inspiring and that reflect what you want our blog to look like. For mine I had Dad paint one of his happy houses, and some letters and numbers to scatter throughout the page. I went through some of his favorite magazines to find pictures that reflected his style and aesthetic. One fun idea I had was to put in some of his bingo and playing cards on the page, I thought they added a touch of whimsy.I also used some red baby rick rack around the top and bottom edge to hold some of the different elements on the page. I hope you like what I created. It was a lot of fun to make,I am definitely hooked on them.
