1. Picture Wall.. The photo printing site I use offered my first 40 prints for free so this whole wall just cost me the 99p delivery charge! (Snapfish, if you're interested) I basically just got my entire Tumblr blog printed out so I could see my saved inspiration every day :)
2. Thrifted Frame Cluster.. I painted up a bunch of frames I'd bought from charity shops for silly money, layed them out on the floor to figure out the best clustery shape for them, took a picture as a reference and then hung each frame starting with the centrepiece. I used a ruler to make sure each outer one was the same distance away from that one to give a neat look to the whole cluster. I eventually filled the frames with images from an old Fairies calender. (which I've already posted about a LONG time ago! Look, right there in the sidebar ---> )
3. Framed Inspiration Collage.. This frame had been lying around my house with a wrinkled up Toy Story poster in it for.. too long. I eventually decided to take apart my old scrapbook and use my favourite images to make this! I basically used a big piece of white card from the art shop that happened to perfectly fit the frame and spent a couple of evenings trying out lay-outs and gluing things on. If you do this start at the edges with your biggest images and work to the middle and try to have a main image for the centre. Then you can put all the smaller images on, add some stickers, glitter or whatever! I really love how this turned out, although it's one of those annoying times when photos don't do things justice. Booo.
(Please link me up if you try any of my ideas, I'd LOVE to see!)

Oooh I love all the inspiring ideas! There's a difference between having inspiration online and having it actually in your face!

Love the photo wall - I feel guilty for my room being such a mess now, you've inspired me to have a tidy up! X
