Hi there everyone!
Here you will find some Magazine knock off decor Spring and Summer ideas done by the very best in town. Bloggers!
This by far is my favorite party in town!
In fact, I do believe it is the only party in town.
I was inspired about a year or so ago to challenge us all to do this.
Today we have 37 of your Magazine copy cat inspired ideas to share.
Funny thought I had today! When we were kids growing up, we hated to be called a copy cat now didn’t we?
As adults, especially out here in blogland, we do it all the time.
In fact, I am thankful for all of your inspiring ideas.
Welcome to My Magazine copy challenge.
You must source out all your inspiration in order to be a part of my party.
I thank you for that!
This challenge is much easier than you may think. Once you find your magazine inspiration, all you have to do is copy it and put your own fun twist on it.
This was my inspiration!
I loved the back drop and colors.
This challenge cost me 1.99 and some creative time.
Very simple though.
I had all the craft paints on hand, and the sponges, from our Bathroom vanity makeover.
Don’t ask me what I was doing…I just was letting my hand and sponge go wild.
The flowers were free…which I will be sharing more details on those soon!
So pretty!
See my pretty back drop?
It was really fun to do….
Packed filled bouquet…..
Does not get much simpler than that!
LOVE. I wish I had a place to put my canvas art. These pastel colors however, just do not work in our home.
I am sure I will find another use for the canvas in the future.
Let’s see what you all came up with!

Jessica @ Mom 4 Real
I have been so excited for this party! I saved this stinkin bench in my garage and didn’t paint it until today so I wouldn’t want to post it early! I cheated a bit and copied Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage’s bench because I love it so much!
Jessica @ Mom 4 Real
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions
You did a great copycat, Debbie! I love how you captured the background in your inspiration picture and the flowers {which are so pretty}. I love all those pinks, but like you, I don’t have any room to really use them in either.
Debbie
Doggonit!! I missed it again. I have more fun with this challenge than any other, and I let myself get caught up in life and missed it. I am officially applying to get my groove back.
And your copy cat is terrific!
Shenita
Debbie, that’s a great copycat! Love the colors!! I have to visit the other posts!

Debbie, I thought I had left you a comment last night when I linked to the party! I don’t know where it went!
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that your copycat is sooo pretty! Your backdrop came out just beautiful( you are very talented!) and together with the flowers, it is the perfect copycat! Thank you so much for hosting!

Hi Debbie,
The flowers are gorgeous and wow on the painted back drop canvas.
Christie
Your copy cat beautiful and spot-on!! Fresh flowers really perk up a room don’t they??!! Thanks for hosting this great party – I’m heading out to the Dollar Store shortly to get my materials together to enter! Hee hee
Linda @ A La Carte
Debbie so pretty! Sorry I missed the party. Traveling home from Texas!
Atta Girl Amy
Debbie, your inspiration photo also inspired me when I first saw it last year. I fell in love with Michele Armas’s paintings and attempted to do my own, but it didn’t turn out nearly as good as yours or the artist’s. So, I bought one of her smaller paintings! I am absolutely in love with the image you chose, and I think you did a terrific job recreating it.
I can’t wait to participate in your link party. I’m saving images now for the next go-round. What a fun party!
Katherines Corner
Love it. I am so bugged I missed participating in this again…ugh xco
Sarah
Great copy, Debbie. Love the sponged background. This looks like a painting. 😉
Sorry I missed this again. I’ve been in and out of town with family and little computer time of late. Will join in this fun next time. Love this idea! ~ Sarah
Kristin
The flowers are so pretty and i love the canvas. So glad you liked them. have a great week
