Create in Community with #CreativeLeapFebruary
Join us for an Instagram challenge…
Last February, Sarah from These Are The Days and I buddied up for #CreativeLeapFebruary. This was a month-long Instagram journey, where we shared prompts and Story templates for to spark inspiration for folks’ posts for the entire month. The feedback was just wonderful, and it made creating during a long dark winter so much easier!
This year we are teaming up again and sharing a month’s worth of post ideas to spark and nurture your creativity throughout February.
We would absolutely love for you to join us and use the hashtag #CreativeLeapFebruary so we can see what you create!
Here are the prompts for this February:
HI THERE – introduce yourself in today’s prompt! Tell folks who you are, what you are passionate about, and what you like to share on Instagram.
SUNDAY – what does Sunday look like for you? Do you have any routines? It’s my favourite day of the week so I'd love to hear about yours!
FOUNDATIONS – tell us about a story that changed the foundations of your life. It could be starting your business, or discovering your craft.
CALM – show us or tell us what makes you feel your most calm. Is it time with a book or going for a walk in the mornings?

REST / CHALLENGE – take today off or tell us about a hurdle you hope to overcome this year

If this is your first time joining us for #CreativeLeapFebruary, don't forget that…
You are welcome to join us for as much or as little of the challenge as suits you
While I’ll be hoping to show up for the full challenge, I will be taking rest days and you are welcome to jump in and out as needed. #CreativeLeapFebruary is there to inspire and excite you, giving you ideas for posts and a community to support you for the month… we really want it to feel fun and joyful! So take as much of it as you need and don't stress about posting daily if February is a busy or challenging month.
Use the hashtag #CreativeLeapFebruary (and follow it too!)
We would love to see what you post, so use the hashtag #CreativeLeapFebruary for your posts to ensure we spot them. You can follow hashtags on Instagram, so I will be following ours to ensure I see posts popping up in my feed.
Planning can be helpful
28 days is a long time to post daily, so I’ll be making the load a little lighter by doing a little planning ahead of time! I definitely recommend doing the same if that will make showing up simpler. You might want to note down some caption ideas, gather (or take) some photos and videos, and pre-schedule your posts to make the challenge feel easier.
We can't wait to see your posts this February and remember you can follow Sarah @thesearethedays.co here and me at @studiogently here!
