There is so much inspiration in the advertising world, so this month I chose 8 more print ads to use for inspiration. As in last month, the challenge is to pick one of these ads and use it for inspiration. But… YOUR INSPIRATION MUST COME FROM SOMETHING OTHER THAN JUST THE COLORS! You by all means may use the colors of the ad if you want to, but that cannot be your only source of inspiration. You  must get your inspiration from something else in the ad too. Please let us know what it was that inspired you.

Here are the this month's ads to choose from:

















Open to paper, digi, hybrid, cards, crafts, planners, or anything else you are inspired to create.

Multiple submissions are allowed up to a limit of 5.

You may combine with one other challenge that allows combining and you may also add to the Prompts Challenge.

I'm running this into May a bit because I am posting it so late. Post your submissions to this thread by May 11th and a random winner of all participants will receive a $5 ACOT GC from me!

Most of all have fun. I hope you find this new set of ads to be inspiring. 

I chose the Spring Baby Furniture ad for my layout. I was inspired by the large word that melded into the green panel, as well as the line above it sitting right on top of it. Maybe it's the graphic designer in me but I love that whole look. I was also inspired by all the flowers, the butterflies, the colors, and the whole Spring theme. Pic is of my Twinkie watching me plant flowers, waiting for the opportunity to steal something. lol.
