Photo as Title.

Whew! You guys blew me away with all you're mad notebook paper skills! Dang.

The random winner of the awesome notebook from Kate Bing's awesome Etsy shop is...... Kate! (Wildman)

Kate, email Kate(hehehehe) at kathleenbing @ gmail.com so she can get it out to you!

Okay. Now onto to the good stuff. There is SO much awesome stuff going on here, my mind is going in millions of different directions. Wheeewwweee.

The Prompt is:

Photo as Title

Signs, words, labels surround us all the time. Take advantage of some of those awesome things and use it on your ART! Use a photo as a title for your page. Maybe make a mini of your favorite restraurants using the signs as "titles" for your pages.

This is another prompt where we want you going out and taking a look at the world around you and capturing it with your camera.
Go crazy with sidewalk chalk, "paint" with water, use your Dymo label maker. Take photos.

Take a photo of your favorite food's packaging. Scrap about that.

Maybe take a photo that communicates an idea. Let the art flow from that.

You don't even have to have taken the photo. Pour over catalogs and magazines. Come what may!

Like all TAIF prompts, feel free to intrepet them however you'd like. Maybe just take a photo, if it inspires you. Make a video, a painting, a card, ATC, scrapbook layout, mini, altered decor.

Heck, take photos and fill a frame with it.

Go cuhrazy!

I am SUPER excited to have the ever lovely and talented miss Cindy Ellen Russel Guest Design for this prompt. She has a style so pure, classy, and arty that I just cannot get enough of.

If you haven't faved this girl already, prepare to be awed and inspired.

Thanks, Cindy, for GDing! Your project blew us away!

Here is what Cindy had to say:

Photos as titles. Signs, bumper stickers, advertisements, graffiti...all around us are words and symbols telling us what we should or could do. As I started to look around for photos to use as titles, I also saw backgrounds and elements to use and photographed those too. What emerged was a personal story --driven by some of the most favorite photographs that I have taken over the years-- stacked upon other detail photos all held together by adhesive, tape and journaling. It became a visual narrative that is literal, unexpected, magical, straightforward and complex...just like me!
