ICAD 2020; Week 1 & 2

It's that time of the year...the 61 day ICAD challenge. To participate in real time, the challenge is from June 1 - July 31st. But of course you can do it anytime. To see previous index cards I made during ICAD challenges, click on the ICAD label to the right. This is my fourth year participating.

To find the daily challenge prompts, go to Daisy Yellow Art and follow along.

Here are my index cards in order:

This is a really fun way to keep yourself creative during the summer months. It can take a quick 15 minutes or even longer if you want. It's all up to you! Won't you join me in this 61 day challenge?

ICAD 2019; Week Seven & More

So...I took a little hiatus on Week Seven. I had so much to do when we returned from our vacation that I just couldn't fit in the ICAD challenge so instead of stressing about it - I put it on hold until the following week. But then the following week came and went and I still didn't create any index cards.

The great thing about this challenge is that it is what you make of it. So after thinking about it some more, I decided I was not going to complete the 61 day challenge and end it at 42 days.

The challenge, or at least to me, is about playing with products, experimenting, anti-stress and just fun. When I lost that feeling, I knew it was time to put it aside and make a decision. No need to stress about it...just don't participate any more this year.

Receiving this quote in my Daily Inspiration email sealed the deal for me:

Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak. Sometimes it means you are strong and smart enough to let go and move on. – Unknown

ICAD 2019: Week Six

We were on a road trip and I still managed to make all my index cards. I brought an “art bag” but wasn’t sure if I would actually complete them...but I did!

Here are my cards for the week:

And while on the road, I found a kindness rock!

So cool!!

ICAD 2019; Week Five

Week Five and half way done with the 61 day ICAD challenge!

Here are my index cards:

As always, leave me a message if you have any questions regarding what product or technique I used for the cards.

I'm leaving on a week road trip today and brought supplies with me. I am hoping to continue the daily challenge, but we'll see...

ICAD 2019; Week Four

Another fun week of index cards for the ICAD 61 day challenge!

If you want additional information on what I used or how I used it, let me know in the comments.

The best thing about this challenge is that you can start anytime. Sure, it's meant to go from June 1st through July 31st, but the first two years I started in August since it was more convenient for me. And honestly, when it's an informal challenge you can start (and end) anytime you want - follow the prompts or not. It's meant to be fun so if you're thinking of doing something like this...jump in!
