I adore this Creative Prompt today from Patina. I think that this is actually part of their gorgeous card line, but the colors and graphic style of it are so inspirational. I can't wait to play with this one. I hope that it inspires you as well.

Creative Prompt #35

This is a shirt that my Mom gave to Kat for Christmas and as she was wearing it this week, I realized that it would make a great Creative Prompt. Right now, this photo of it will have to do (plus she is just so darn cute), but I will take a photo of just the shirt after it comes out of the dryer for a better view of the details and post them in a bit.

Creative Prompt #34

...a book cover as your prompt today. There's a fun color scheme on this one too.

This ad has an interesting layout with the swirl across it. I am excited to see what you can do with it as inspiration.

Creative Prompt #31

This is a photo from the book, Handbags by Anna Johnson. I realize that the basic color scheme is the same as prompt #30, but I think that the design idea would work with any color combo.

Creative Prompt #30

I apologize for this being a bit late today. This photo is from the Tracy Porter home collection.

Creative Prompt #29...

Almond Branches in Bloom by Van Gogh

An art inspiration prompt today. I know that it is not the normal type of prompt that I normally use... as how to use it is not very obvious. To tell you the truth, I have no idea how it is even going to inspire me, but I think that there are possibilities there. Hopefully, you find it as beautiful as I do and it somehow inspires you to create an art piece of your own.

Creative Prompt #28

This is a re-visit to an old favorite prompt for me. I keep a file on my computer for photos that is labeled "Creative Muse." It's where I keep all of my prompts for when my muse is needing a bit of a push. This particular photo is from the Spring 2006 issue of BH&G 100 Decorating Ideas for Under $100. I have already interpretted it once here, but I personally LOVE this prompt so I want to use it again and thought that you all might want to have a go at it too.
****************
I am running behind on the CP's myself so my goal this week is to play a bit of catch-up. I will also be back later today to add the Creativity Unleashed links to this post so come back later to catch up with the beautiful work that has been created from the prompts.

This is the packaging from Kat's blocks. I think it is very inspirational. I hope that you do too. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Creative Prompt #22

Sorry for the delay today. It is crazy-busy around here today!

This is a page out of the February, 2008 issue of Domino magazine. For inspiration, look at the overall layout of the page...the placement of the photos, the little half circle at the top, the dotted line below the photos, the divided text...and I think that you may find yourself inspired.

Have fun with it!

You all know that I love to look at product packaging as inspiration. Today's prompt is a great example of that. Look at the overall layout for inspiration. The color scheme could be fun to play with too...teal has definitely been a hot color lately...

Have fun with it and if you have to make a pan of fudge to help you with your inspiration...well, sometimes that is just the price you have to pay for your art. :D
