Take a Photo Challenge (or Make One Up Yourself!)

Something that always gets my creative juices flowing is having a prompt. I've taken a few photo "challenges" before, and find it really fun, inspiring, and interesting to see everyone's take on the prompt. Kids LOVE to take photos (at least mine do) - give them a little photo challenge - at the end you can make a book! If you need some ideas, here's a few fabulous photo challenges I found on Fat Mum Slim:

I did a photo challenge last summer...here's a few of my favorite pics and their prompts:

My Favorite Shoes:

A Silhouette:

Breakfast (I happened to be running a marathon that day):

Hands:

Sunset:

Someone You Love:

I have found with photo challenges, the key is to JUST DO IT (with all apologies to Nike) - don't stress about the perfect photo or lighting or whatever, otherwise you'll get stuck. Sometimes the most unlikely prompts/situations will result in some of your favoritest pics. Also - don't feel like you have to have a fancy camera to participate. Half of my pics are taken with my phone!

Coming this summer...Yep you guessed it - the Busy Crafty Mom photo challenge ;-) Something fun for summer break!
