if it's June, it must be time for ICAD ...

it's June 1, official kick-off day for the 2012 index-card-a-day project.  i participated last year and loved working on index cards.   somehow 3 x 5 white space is not nearly so daunting as a blank journal page!  for the 2011 project, i dug out my collection of watercolor pencils, dusted them off, and dove in.  i had a blast working with the w/c pencils, especially in my new w/c Strathmore Visual Journal.  you can't beat the fun of smushing color around on your page with your favorite waterbrush pen

my stash of fabulous blank index cards from Levenger's is sitting in the middle of the table, ready for my first brush strokes, pen strokes, pencil strokes of the 2012 ICAD season.  of course my colored pencils, pens, crayons, calligraphy pens are sitting there waving at me, going "me too, me too" ... 

this year i'll try to post some samples so that you can see what i'm creating as the summer progresses. 

let the games begin!!  oh, and feel free to join in the fun.  just sayin' .... 

** thanks to Tammy at DaisyYellow for kicking it off with the guidelines.  on, what else, an index card, lol
