Debbie at Debbiedoo's is having another Magazine Copycat Challenge...this time with a twist. She decided it would be fun to include copying other bloggers as well as magazines for this challenge. I loved the idea because in all honesty, I find my fellow bloggers to be more inspirational than most magazines nowadays.
So, I set out to copy a blogger, but which blogger?
There are so many wonderful images that I see on blogs day after day. It was impossible to choose who or what to copy. But then, one day, it clicked. I found the blogger to copy.
I will admit, I questioned my decision...out of fear. How could I possible copy her? She's like the Superwoman Queen of Vignettes! She has a way of putting things together that I can only dream about.
Yes, yes, I'm talking about Marty from A Stroll Thru Life.
I loved this image from her most recent Cloche Party.
Although our styles are different, and I am in no way a master at this, I decided to put my fears aside, give it a try and have fun with it anyway.
I wish I had that darling chef that Marty has, but since I don't, Doughboy came to the rescue. I know he's "vertically challenged," but then again, so am I. (no snickering, lol)
Since I don't have wheat like Marty, and I already went the baking route with Doughboy, I figured wooden spoons & spatulas could stand in for the wheat! (Again, no snickering. lol)
I really had fun copying the Vignette Queen, even if mine looks silly. Marty, if you should see this, I really hope I haven't offended you with my
If you would like to get in on the Copycat challenge or just view all the fun copycats, run on over to Debbiedoos now. This is a party you won't want to miss!

I knew by the title that it would be Marty you were copying. I love her vignette style, and I am constantly trying to "practice" my vignette skills by copying Marty. I should have thought about this for a copycat challenge idea. I'm so glad you did, and yours is TERRIFIC! (I'm hearing the Pillsbury Dough Boy in my head right now. )
ReplyDeleteWell done, Gina.
ReplyDeleteand you are such a sweet and humble person - I loved your copycat.
Bravo, Bellisimo!!
Too stinkin' cute♥
ReplyDeleteSo cute...you are always good at these types of vignettes, table settings...the works.
ReplyDeleteADORABLE! i think the doughboy makes a perfect stand in for the chef! very creative with the spoons too! this looks like a fun party!
ReplyDeleteGina, your copycat is adorable! I love the little doughboy! You did a great job on this vignette!
ReplyDeleteI love the vignette and your sense of humor throughou the post. I am vertically challenged also!
ReplyDeleteGina this is some kinda crazy GOOD,I love it,you nailed our dear sweet Marty totally!!
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to copy someone, start at the top. How could you go wrong using Marty's example for a vignette? Yours turned out great. You are on your way to Vignette Princess at this rate.
ReplyDeletelooks wonderful!! love that fun doughboy!!
ReplyDeleteSince I am a vertical vignette challenged doughboy, I think you did good.
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
So perfect a copy you have created Gina, love your doughboy. Marty will be honored by your creation.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, Gina, with your vignette. I love how you used your wooden spoons and spatula instead of the wheat.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Mary Alice
I think your copycat turned out great. I am wondering how you just happened to have that doughboy to stand in for the chef. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI think you have created a darling kitchen vignette.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Laura
This is so cute! I adore that bird on top! Such a cute cloche and a great 'copy'! What fun!
ReplyDeleteWell Gina, Marty is the indisputable Queen of Vignettes but I think you have earned the title of Princess or whatever the next royal title is! I love to see the ingenuity of my fellow bloggers. You interpreted Marty's vignette in your own style and it turned out great!--------- Shannon
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
You are right, Marty is amazing but I love yours too! It is so fresh, fun and very, very you, even if you were trying to be a copy cat!
ReplyDeleteLynn
I LOVE the little Pillsbury Dough Boy! Your arrangement looks wonderful. Marty is such a talented decorator, and a good choice to copy! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL I knew you were copying Marty! She is the Vignette Queen! :D Great copycat, Gina.
ReplyDeleteI saw the cutest Pillsbury Doughboy cookie jar at the antiques mall the other day. ;P
xo,
RJ
Well you chose a wonderful blogger to copy! Marty is the queen of cloches! Your vignette is so adorable. A fun and cheerful display!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! It reminds me of Marty's vignette! I love the Dough Boy; he's precious! Great copy Cat!
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable! I especially love that little Dough Boy because it reminds me of my dad...He use to work at a mill and most days he would be covered head to toe in white milled stuff...plus he is short and has his same physique...Hee, Hee, Hee. His coworkers would say he looked like the Pilsbury Dough Boy and nicknamed him that. I don't think he has ever been fond of that nickname but whenever I see the cute little Dough Boy, I can't help but see my dad...Silly, huh?
ReplyDelete❤Ana
I think you did great, love Mr. doughboy, honestly I get it and I love how you interpreted it to be your own!! Good job Miss Gina!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Gina, I think you did a terrific job. Love the baking theme! Very cute........Sarah
ReplyDeleteGina I love it! The doughboy gives it just the right amount of whimsey. Must admit, copying Marty would be a bit scary. You did good girl!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jann
I think you did well,I like dough boy,and I like the red utensils mixed with wood too. xx
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, that is sooooooo cute, Gina! I'm just lovin' the Pillsbury doughboy. He is PERFECT for your kitchen vignette. The spatulas are the best accent. I think Marty would be proud.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love, how you recreated the vignette using elements you already had. The vignette is so charming!
ReplyDeleteSharon @ mrs. hines class
I really like yours, Gina! I've always loved the little Doughboy!
