I'm at a complete block when it comes to designing, I was wondering if anyone had any tips of how to get my creative edge back?

What are your inspirations?

Well, looking at other peoples work is usually a way to get the cogs turning. Sites such as www.cssremix.com are a nice place to hang around to see how the design world is developing, new sites and such. But the number one rule is not to copy, so on that note I can't really help you with your designers block. Just open a fresh document and play around for a while, the dust will unsettle eventually

I usually look at the new design trends, and just enhance them, and through some of my own style into it.

I always look at template sites or just type in "unique wordpress themes" or "unique web design" or something like that and tons of stuff comes up for inspiration.

In the past I was opening 20 tabs from cssmania.com and cssremix.com before starting a new design but I observed that my creativity was bridged.

I advice you to read the brief for few times, ask the client for any little detail and try to imagine what is he thinking at and if you do that the project is 50% done.
