Creative Minds Think Alike Contest

Tsuru Bride presents: The Creative Minds Think Alike CONTEST!!

I enjoyed the last contest so much, and the joy giving free stuff can bring, and so I decided that it's time for round 2! And, like before, I'm going to make you work for it! =)

Sometimes new products in my line come from custom orders, like my chihuahua clutch, and my sad, sad panda (for Vinyl Society member Isa). Sometimes I like the idea so much, or it inspires me to get off my butt, and I have to make more! Or even build a line from it.

This bull terrier iPod holder was a recent custom design for a Chistmas gift, and coming next year, I'm making more of them - so cute!

So here's your challenge! If you could have a iPod holder, card holder or change purse (let's leave out clutches for now) made by TsuruBride what animal or item would you want? It doesn't need to be an animal, I made a vintage camera inspired card holder for a photographer friend, and a cupcake shaped card holder for a baker. Really any idea you like.

Here's how to play:

Once you figure out what your heart desires, post your idea on your blog and send me the link. Or post your entry in the Vinyl Society - here! Now, it can be a sketch (the sketch doesn't need to be pretty), it can even be a photo of the object - whatever works right?

For ideas posted on a blog I must receive your emails by January 31st, and for ideas posted on the Society, I'll only review items posted by January 31st.

That's right, you have the holidays and all of January to get those creative juices flowing. You can submit as many ideas as you like. Then the creative team of TsuruBride (read: my husband and I) will select a winner and they get their design made and they get a free prototype!

And as inspiration, here are a couple designs that will be heading your way in the new year (one inspired by a custom order!!)
