Remember Rebus Puzzles from elementary school? They were a great way to get your brain going and your mind creative…and still are! Below are 10 rebus puzzles. Put your answers to all 10 in the comments. Everyone who gets all them right will be entered for a chance to win a free Twitter Background designed by me (or service credit with Wright Creativity of equal value)! I...
Honest scrap award? Huh? When Katie Favazza gave me the award, I was a little confused. The name doesn’t really tell you much. But, after tracking links back through over 50 blogs…I finally found an explanation: “This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.” So..thanks Katie!! Now, onto the rules of how it works:Thank the person...
Monday is always a rough day for creativity – you’re trying to get caught up from the weekend, attack your inbox, check twitter/FB/LinkedIn, plan out the week, etc. But, creativity doesn’t take much to get jump started if you know where to look. I always spend at least 30 minutes every Monday browsing a few of my favorite photography/graphic design sites, and stumbling for a...

Not a single one came from a social media expert or marketing guru, they all came from people just like you an me, those who are passionate about what they do and it shows in their writing. Here are my favorite...
Me and Suzanne(emphasisisallmine.com) Last night, I attended the first blogcrush meetup at the Veggie Grill in the Irvine Spectrum. First, the food was a huge shock. For those of you who have never heard of it/been there, it is a Vegan restaurant. I am not a vegan, far from it, in fact I wouldn’t survive if I could never have meat again. But, their food was...
I have been following Ori (@couchsurfingori) for awhile on twitter and then we connected through our blogs. I thought his stories and his travels were unbelievable interesting, and very creative (plus, he is pretty hysterical!). I also thought my readers would love to hear about what he is doing and why. So, a few days ago, I asked if he would guest post about his...
For the longest time, I never had an image show up when I was posting comments…even on my own blog! Finally, I did some simple investigating and found gravatar.com. According to their site: A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs...
I love color. I love creating unique color schemes. And I love finding them in random places. I often use adboe’s Kuler when I am stuck on a scheme for a design, but I get bored with it fairly easily. A lot of times, I wish I could take a picture and just pull some true colors out of it…now I can! Using stumbleupon and...
