31 Fun Photo Challenge Ideas for Instagram ...

For July 1st’s photo challenge idea for Instagram, post a photo of your favorite mug. Every morning I love waking up with a cup of coffee and I have a few mugs that I like to keep to myself. For Mother’s Day my step-daughters gave me a Winnie the Pooh mug with the quote, “It’s the Simple Things that count,” says Pooh. “Like bees, balloons, and honey, or a friendly paw in yours along a path that’s sunny.” It’s my favorite mug and when I drink from it I’m reminded to remember the simple things in life.

Whether you’re on vacation, dreaming of going to Paris, or waiting for the week to be out so you can start, share with us what you’re doing for Summer vacation. I love seeing the fun ideas people come up with even when they stay home for the Summer. There are so many creative things to do without leaving your own backyard, if that’s what your budget calls for. Show us what you’re doing this Summer.

Through out our lives, from the day we’re born to our first date, we all have some type of cuddly, stuffed animal that someone gave us.

In America, July 4th is Independence Day and we’ll be celebrating with fireworks, barbecues and probably beer!

So whether your celebration is for Independence Day or for a family member’s big day, show us how you are celebrating!

It’s really fun to take selfies, but let’s get more creative than that, shall we? Take a photo that is of something about you, something that makes you who you are, or something that inspires you.

Snap photos on your phone throughout the day and then go back over them to remember the best part of your day. Share with us that moment that really made you smile.

It would be so neat to see what everyone’s neighborhood looks like. I love seeing historical buildings and different architecture from around the world. Is your neighborhood city-like, more suburban, or are you in the backwoods living the country life?

If you are obsessed with sharing your photos on Instagram like I am, then you’ve probably taken a food photo before. So why not do it again, but this time let’s have some fun with it.

Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh flowers? Well, maybe those who have allergies! But that doesn’t mean they still can’t enjoy the beauty of a garden. Share your favorite flowers with us so we can be reminded of just how beautiful life really is!

Besides flowers, there is nothing more beautiful in the Spring and Summer than fresh fruit! I love going to the farmer’s market and getting fresh fruit and vegetables for the week. They are so colorful and are just such an easy, healthy snack to enjoy.

What does Love mean to you? Show us whom you love, what you love, or who loves you so we can all see just how big this word really is!
