Creative Cue
Sue and I were talking the other day about how we’d like to try to incorporate creating a sketch or doodle each week onto our list of goals for 2010. So we decided that to help motivate us to do that, we’d choose a random word each week to help inspire us to create a small sketch, drawing or even just a doodle. Then we thought, well there’s probably a lot of people out there in blog land who might want to do this along with us, so we’ve come up with the Creative Cue project. Each Sunday throughout 2010 we’ll be posting a new “cue” on the 3Creative Studios blog. You can use the cue to inspire you to create anything you want. Don’t draw or sketch? Well then you can use the cue to inspire a journal page, journal quilt, postcard, or even an ATC. You can even use the cue as a way to sharpen your photography skills and take a photo inspired by the word we post. It’s your cue to use and interpret any way that you want.
There will be a couple of ways to share your results. When you post a photo of your Creative Cue results on your blog, website, Flickr, etc., you can then come to the specific blog post here and leave a comment which includes a link to your blog or site where we can all come and see what you’ve created. We will also have a Creative Cue thread in the Three Creative Studios forum. You will be able to share your Creative Cue results in the appropriate forum thread.
This is a no pressure program – join in any time and use as many of the creative cues that you want.
And of course we had to create a blog badge for this new program.
If you’d like to add this badge to your blog, simply copy this code and insert it in your blog layout:

what a great idea!
YES! I had plans to this last fall and didn’t quite get it together. It is actually on my must do’s for this coming year. So, yes, Yes, YES
Sounds like a grat idea – we all need a bit of a push !
great idea!
great idea!
I love this idea!!
Oh my! You girls are just coming up with so many inspiring ideas for the New Year! My side bar is filling up with your links! I have to join this one, because my attempts at regular journaling have all dropped by the wayside. … But this one might just work out to be a fabric journal page. I’m looking forward to the prompts!
What a great incentive – can’t wait to participate!!!
I’m in! I’m going to use the cues for photo inspiration.
What a great idea! I love it! Being busy has meant that I haven’t had much time to create lately and I miss it big time! I am anxious to start creating and Creative Cue has just upped my anticipation. I am looking forward to the inspiration!

I’m ready for a Sunday “creative hit” to increase my creativity. Have also signed up for theme word too.
I am IN! I just found your site and I think your idea is great. When do we get the first clue! I am going to tell my learninfa group about this. We are a group that gives classes and different challenges. I know the girls would love to join in too. Shirley
Wow, I am hoping I can do one a week.
I am looking forward to this.
Great idea! I’ll give it a whirl!
OK, not sure if I will be able to do one each week but I do need get my creative juices running again.
Hey Vicki! Great idea. I’m in.
What a great way to start the new year. Looking forward to the first word.
I’m in! I need a nudge to get my butt moving!
What a wonderful idea. My goal is to strech myself this year — to have fun and not worry about what is right or wrong. This will be one more item to move me in that direction. Thanks for all your wonderful posts and ideas.
I think this will get everyone motivated and inspired in many ways. I’m in for sure and I know it will help me in those ways. Thanks. I’m in.
I would like to try this. I am a mixed media artist and have been using papers made with one or more layers of painted art tissue paper. Having done art quilts for 10 years, I want to try the fabric papers and see what happens. Your results are inspiring.
great idea. will try and take part when I can! LOL
I was in the Take It Further Challenge in 2008 and REALLY enjoyed the prompts and creativity it fostered. I was hoping to find something to fire myself up creatively for 2010. This is it.. I have put the badge on my blog and written a post to help spread the word. Thanks SO MUCH for hosting this!
I think it’s a great idea too….I’ve been wanting to stretch my creative wings a bit.
Count me in! I’m convinced I can’t draw, so this will be a good exercise for me.
Thanks!
Sue, how do I add a badge to blogspot? I’ve tried with out success. Is it a gadget? Help!
Great Idea. I will take part as much as possible.
Looking forward to your first word cue . . . really curious . . . can we peek early?
I would love to give this a try!
Great New Year’s Resolution……we will all be winners. Thanks for sharing. You are incredibally generous.
