Last fall, Melissa (of Miso Crafty Knits) and I hosted a 10-day Instagram challenge, and it was so much fun we decided to do it again!
Starting this Friday, April 22nd, we will be hosting a fun and easy-to-do 10 day Instagram challenge that will get you looking at your day in a new way.
 An Instagram Challenge is a series of daily photo prompts for a set number of days. The prompts are meant to inspire you to engage in the world around you a little differently, and take a photo to share on your Instagram account. There is no ‘right’ way to interpret a prompt, they are meant to be a little bit vague so that you can interpret them any way you like! Even if you don’t have an idea for one of the prompts, sometimes I wait until a few others have posted, and it sparks my creativity, as well.
You should come join us! It’s addictive and really fun to see all the different ways people can translate the same word or phrase with a photograph. when you click on the #CraftyBlissChallenge hashtag, you automatically go to a feed that shows all the photos tagged with that special hashtag- so you’ll be able to check out all kinds of interesting and awesome photos from other knitters and crafters. You will probably even find some new people to follow who regularly post photos that you really enjoy.
How to participate: You’ll need an Instagram account (which is free). Then for 10 days (from from April 22nd to May 1st) you just take a photo or share one via your Instagram account and tag it with our special hashtag- #CraftyBlissChallenge.  Don’t forget- if your account s set to private, we can’t see your images! So if you normally have your account set to private and want to participate, you will need to adjust them to public for just the duration of the challenge- then we can heart your beautiful photos, make comments, all kinds of fun!
Here are the prompts we came up with:
Update: We will have prizes like last time, too! For those of you who post for all 10 days, two lucky (and randomly selected) participants will win some knitterly goodies! As if sharing all the pretty wasn’t enough motivation, right?
I hope some of them already have your mind buzzing, thinking up things that you could share and tag. Don’t forget, you don’t have to be literal about any of this. Melissa and I will be on it every day, checking out all the photos with the hashtag, and sharing our own. If you haven’t participated in an Instagram challenge before, this is a great group to start with, very friendly and lots of fun. And if you are joining, help us get the word out- feel free to tweet or repost the prompts to your Instagram feed. If you want to get a jump on things, you can check out my instagram feed here, and Melissa’s instagram feed here. I hope you will join us!
Love the different themes. I will try to play this time, even though I’m off for Toronto tomorrow morning. I made a screen shot of your page to keep track.
Good timing! I’ve been meaning to be more diligent with Instagram…count me in!
Awesome! I’ve never done an Instagram challenge – I’m in! 🙂 x
The last one was so much fun! I’ll try my best to participate!
Just yesterday I was wondering when we were going to get to do this again. I loved participating in your last challenge. Can’t wait!
This sounds like so much fun! I’m going to try to join in. We will be in Milwaukee this weekend for a wedding so hopefully I will remember!
I might play this time….I didn’t have IG last year because I was avoiding it and it’s now been enveloped into my life. So much easier to post photos to FB with IG…and Twitter, also. Woo. And I pimped it on Twitter.
This sounds so fun!
This sounds so fun. I’m always peeking on IG during the day.
Normally I pass on IG challenges because they feel more like opportunities to show off than anything, but I will probably participate in this one! The prompts leave a lot of room for creative interpretation 🙂
This looks so fun! I can’t say I’m good at keeping up with challenges like this, but I’ll definitely give it a shot!
