Layout Challenge Friday

user posted image
It's time for another Friday Challenge!!  It is always such fun to see what each of you do with the challenges here at Bo Bunny! 
This time the challenge is to use an ad from a magazine, the internet or any other place you see an advertisement that inspires you! 

Of course, some of the design team took the challenge, too!  Let's take a peek!

Tomoko Takahashi
Barefoot and Bliss

Tomoko used the brand new collection Barefoot and Bliss for her layout.  Instead of using the advertisement only for inspiration, she included it in her layout!  These sweet pictures go perfectly with the advertisement, too!

Patti Milazzo
Cool By the Pool

Patti also chose to use the Barefoot and Bliss Collection! She was inspired by an Arm & Hammer advertisement in an issue of Martha Stewart’s Living Magazine. Patti's layouts aren’t typically graphic and tend to be more fussy but this ad really caught her eye with it’s simple design and bold colors that happen to match Barefoot & Bliss’s color scheme. It's Perfect!

Here is the advertisement that Patti used as her inspiration:

Designer Note:  I used the ad’s thin column design as my focus on the page and left the remainder of the blue cardstock as “white space”. I also tried to align the word accents (alpha letters, stickers and cut paper) in a similar fashion. The “bubbles” from the Noteworthy accents as well as stickers and chipboard gives the page a bit more movement and dimension.

Supplies Used:
Barefoot & Bliss Pattern Papers – Dot, Snorkel, Laid Back, Stripe and Word, Barefoot & Bliss Combo Stickers, Barefoot & Bliss Cardstock Stickers – Backyard Bliss, Barefoot & Bliss Layered Chipboard
Barefoot & Bliss Noteworthy, Barefoot & Bliss Brads, Double Dot Cardstock – Dark Denim
And last, but certainly not least we have:

Samanatha Wright
Howzat!

Samantha used the Ad Lib Collection for her layout!  Her inspiration came from a cover advertisement.  This super fun layout is such a cute way to share lots of pictures!  The blocking allows for lots more options, too!

Designer tip: The ad is rectangular, but the blocks appealed to me so I turned the ad on it's side and used a 5x5 block.

Supplies Used:
Ad Lib 6x6 paper pad, Ad lib Dimensional stickers, Ad lib combo stickers, Ocean dot, Kiwi dot
