We'd like to give a free copy of this eBook away to one random reader of The Daily Parade! Leave a comment on this post that answers this question: When you feel the most creative, where are you, what are you doing, and who are you with? (e.g., "I'm in the kitchen whipping up a meal, surrounded by my children." or "I'm alone in my scrapbook room with Ingrid Michaelson blasting on the radio.") Go ahead, spill it!

I get creative when I'm usually in the middle of the process (project, card, layout, etc) when I'm surrounded by my 'stuff'. Maybe it's touching, feeling or seeing the pieces of the project that gets me thinking more.
I am most creative when I am kicking some itunes and surrounded by my computer screen, photoshop, and some fresh pictures;) Your latest e-book looks F.U.N.!!
I am the most creative at the end of a day of cropping or a weekend crop...I always get on a roll a couple of hours before it's time to pack up and go home. I do love the LOAD challenge that Lain Ehman organizes, it keeps my creative mojo goin' all month; I generally like the things I create during that month!
I struggle with creativity. That's why I read blogs, ebooks, magazines, and take classes. Watch video tutorials also helps.
I am the world's biggest scrap-lifter. I get my inspiration from you guys. I can copy just about anything.
I am most creative when I am home all by myself with no noise, no distractions and no one interrupting me. I can totally get in a zone at those times and write like crazy.
I feel my most creative in my scrap room at night while my kids are sleeping. I always have the TV on to a favorite show, and my computer by my side to search for inspiring ideas on all my favorite blogs and websites.
I get creative under pressure, class with assignments due or card needed for birthday, etc.
I am the most creative when I am working at home in my scrap room. I tend to have better ideas in the morning while drinking coffe and listening to music.
My creativity sparks when I'm in the car, driving and alone, with the music on. It can start with just something I've just pas by (ads on a bus for example) and my mind starts rolling with potential layouts ideas.
The creative moments tend to hit late at night (when I SHOULD be sleeping), after reading a magazine or looking at other people's creative work, and hopefully with a great big latte to go with it. I love looking for inspiration but have a hard time diving in myself... but once I get rolling, there's no stopping!
I feel my most creative when I'm lying in bed first thing in the morning, in the in-between waking and sleeping haze, with my husband snuggled beside me. I also get a lot of creative juice by looking for ideas online and in magazines.
I'm most creative when I'm home alone in my scrapbook room after I've spent some time looking at magazines or blogs/online for inspiration.
It doesn't matter if it is work, scrapbooking, or family related I am the most creative when I lay my head down to sleep. It is at these times I get my most vivid pictures and ideas for new lesson plans (I am a teacher), layouts, or ideas for my hubby or kiddos. I wake up in the morning invigorated with inspiration.
I am ALONE in my craft room either scrapping or sewing.

In the evening, in our living-room, scrapbooking or writing, with my fiancé.
at archiver's, with my friends j.w. and b.b. on thursday nights!!!
I am most creative late at night, in the computer room, with music playing [Pandora or a CD of different artists] and the cat curled up on the chair next to me.
Most creative for me...alone, in my craft room, singing along to music (that makes the alone part important) and simply playing without a plan.
I generally feel most creative in the late afternoon/early evening, just when I should be starting to prepare dinner!!!
I'm alone in my scraproom, early in the morning. The chores are done and I can just play.
I am the most creative after I have looked at posts, pictures, and supplies, usually as I am driving because I get the least distractions there and I can't write anything down. My mind gets thinking and I come up with some great journaling and LOs. I am the most productive by myself, any time, with some tunes going as I work on a project.
I feel the most creative after I sit at my scrap table and get started. Sometimes I don't think I am in the mood to scrap until I sit there and start working on things! Then I can't get enough! LOL!
I'm most creative when I'm relaxed, feel no pressure & just have time to play!
I am most creative first thing in the morning when I am just waking up. I get most of scrapping ideas when I'm a bit groggy!
Late at night or while sitting in my craft corner!
I'm the most creative when I have cleaned off my scrap desk, have some new patterned paper and have some time to myself.
I am most creative when I am at home by myself with no deadlines and nowhere to go for the day. I plug in the ipod, listen to music and look through magazines or blogs. This helps get the creative juices flowing.
I feel most creative when my desk is a mess and I ought to be working. I can create masterpieces then (despite a tiny amount of guilt that I am 'wasting time'), but when I have loads of time and a clean desk... the creativity evaporates. Weird.
I feel most creative when I am busy with other things in my life and I haven't had the chance to scrapbook. That's when I find myself looking for any little way to unleash a bit 'o creativity...sprinkles on our bagels, mismatched socks, pigtails, or whatever I can come up with!
