It's a simple functional inspiration board, started with a thought for my bestie who's in media marketing. I bet she loves the journalling - penning down her thoughts in writing, and enjoys a good quote every now and then. She has a busy schedule, this board would be a possible solution to all her juggling acts! (:

I'll be starting on a new operation. You guessed it! It's an inspiration board. What exactly is an inspiration board? From ehow.com "An inspiration board is just like the collages you did as a child, but with a grown-up twist". But I say, inspiration boards should continually be work-in-progress with or without the "grown-up twist". There are zero restrictions and no boundaries whatsoever in styling your own inspiration boards. Izzac Mizrahi "My inspiration board is always changing and yours should be too (I encourage you to keep one at home too, you’ll be happy in 20 years you saved all those precious little scraps)" For starters, you may want to consider the easy "Build a board" online tool by StyleMePretty.com. The tool offers basic layouts, simply select the thumbnail, change the background colour to your liking and move the elements around.

Image Source: Seleta Hayes Howard from Simply Seleta Use of brads and tags, random organisation of the photos, nevertheless pretty! Image Source: Debbie Powell Primarily patterns, pictures and photos, whatever that inspires you! Image Source: EsteMag.com Uses cut-outs from magazines, using neutral/ cool tones or shades. Check out your favourites using the colour palettes! It's a very good idea to include colour shades and undertones in the inspiration board, it aids in colour selection and matching particularly for scrapbooking! While we have general ideas on what colours go together, it is always handy to have a colour palette to explore other colours to play around with!

Also pictured are the witty contemporary sculptors Rachel Harrison and Isa Genzken. All of the cards that Earnest and I used to leave for each other at our Cal Art’s studios (where our romance for paper correspondence began) are permanent fixtures on my inspiration board.:" Image Source: Design Sponge It included the teeny weeny details of stamps and labels. Very handy to have "pockets" to house tags, etc! Image Source: Vera Mao (Naked Glory)
Vera is a local fashion blogger who blogs on fashion "for serious fashion enthusiasts", which explains the overall "runway" themed inspiration board she has created. Chipboard is by far the best material to use for inspiration boards, not only does it give a distressed touch and texture, push tacks can also be used to "secure/ remove" the pictures and photos with ease. Added dimension and texture with the clever use of wooden pegs and string! |
