ICAD 2016!!

Hello all!! I am joining the ICAD (index card a day) bandwagon this year and I am really excited!! I have always wanted to do it but have never been able to. For those of you who have never heard of it here is more information via the official sitehttp://daisyyellowart.com/icad/icad-faq.html. Please check it out! it is a very well orgainized and fun community of great people with even greater ideas!! You might even get a wild bug to join in on the fun!!

So anyway, I will do MY BEST to make a card each day of this event and also a video. My first 2 cards are already complete. I will be putting out a video for the first one so be on the lookout for that!! The second one I tried to film but my phones storage was full so I couldnt get it working! It took me forever to realize what the problem was but now that I know hopefully that wont happen often!! OK so, if you look at the ICAD website there are weekly prompts and daily prompts. Personally, for the first two cards I chose not to follow the prompts but that may not always be the case. I'm sure they will be helpful when I just cant come up with an idea!!

I find challenges like this very helpful for getting through some creative slumps. Sometimes taking just a little time out of the day to create and explore really develops your art and an index card is the perfect size to really be able to do that even if you have limited time!!

So, how about you guys?? Will you be doing ICAD this year with me? What do you do to break through your creative slumps? Id love to hear from you!!
