April Daily Inspirations

Each month Jill from A Matter of Memories offers a free download of 30 days worth of inspirations.

Daily Inspirations is a monthly PDF document that is available for FREE through the A Matter of
Memories blog. Each month, there are 30 squares offering prompts to spark creativity in your scrapbooking
Each square, in essence, is a mini-challenge.

There are a variety of types of prompts included each month:

• Color Prompts: Your challenge is to use this color combination on a layout.
• Event/Holiday Prompts: Your challenge is to address the question(s) related to monthly holidays or events and use your response as the basis for a layout.
• Photo Prompts: Your challenge is to take a photo of your interpretation of the word or phrase included in the square. Some can be taken literally; some are very figurative, while still others could go either way…the choice is yours. The idea behind these prompts is to help stretch your photography skills and start to think more creatively when taking photos for your layouts.
• Quote Prompts: Your challenge is to use the quote on your page in some way – as the title, within your journaling, however you please.
• Technique Prompts: Your challenge is to use the specified technique(s) on the layout.
