One Card A Day


Daisy Yellow has been hosting the One Card a Day challenge every year for eight years.  The goal is to do something artsy on an index card every day for a couple of months.  It is something small and simple that can stretch your artistic abilities and reduce stress.  Making only one index card and for only two months makes the project much more manageable.

I've been thinking about joining, and have made a few index cards over the years, but this year, I will try to actually make an index card every day.  I might even post them here from time to time, but not every single day because that makes the challenge more daunting, and adds pressure to make something pretty or blog worthy instead of just fun. 

Having made a few cards, I can tell you the volume and variety of the cards that makes them interesting, Just like a whole sampler quilt is better than the sum of its blocks.

This sounds like fun. I hope you are planning to share at least some of your cards.

I'm going to check this out - sounds like it's a fun way to let loose creatively without pressure of perfection, and small enough to be easily completed even on busy days. Thanks for sharing this info.

Every time I see something fun like this...I want to do it...loving to glue down threads and freemotion over them...loving this and that...and then...time is up...nothing done..looking forward to seeing yours.

Oh my, I think I'd have trouble trying to be creative every day for two months! When I did the fabric postcards it was always getting the ideas that were difficult for me, not the making of the cards!
