With all the talk lately of coloring books and doodling I figured that I would post about the index card-a-day challenge. This challenge involves being creative on an index card every day in June & July. That's it. There are no rules. Well, except that you have to use an index card. It's a fun summer art project for the kids too. This year there is even a kids version. I just thought that I would share just in case someone may be interested.

I've never heard of that one! I was thinking it was write chores on the cards, and do one each day! LOL

Cool! I'm going to try and do it. Great idea to use index cards, cheap, small and everyone has them.

Thanks for posting this! I have *zero* artistic ability. Zip. None. Nada. Never the less, I've really been wanting to do some type of "fun & just for me" mixed media project. I've gone so far as purchasing some paper, gesso, glitter, etc., plus I have some inexpensive pens, markers, watercolor palettes and brushes. But..... I cannot get started. I am paralyzed by my lack of creativity and I'm terrified of making a mistake and wasting a lot of materials. Sigh. However, I think by only doing an index size project I might be able to overcome my fear and discomfort. I have a small notebook (8.5 x 5.5) of Mixed Media paper. I am going cut the pages in half and make my own "index size cards" to use for this project. The smaller size just seems a lot less intimidating.  Thanks for sharing! |

This sounds like a fun little summer project. And I love that there is no rules, or purpose really...just creating for the sake of creating. I'm like everyone else and don't tend to use my stuff cause I have to save it for the "perfect project" lol. Maybe this is a way to shake me out of that.  |

I made my card for both yesterday (not using the prompt) and today (using the prompt). I don't know how to easily post here from an iPhone so I've posted on Instagram. I'm combining it with The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring challenge part 2.

I love this idea! A few years ago I did one based on a deck of cards that was a lot of fun.

I'm late to the party, but I think I am going to do this too! It sounds like fun, and 4x6 is small enough not to be too intimidating. Thanks for sharing!

Maybe those of us whose minds went to cards with organizing tasks on them ( Miss Lerins Momma and scrapaddie) can do a mashup of the two thoughts. We can write out a card (in the style of Sidetracked Home Executives) and then make it artsy.  |

I'd love to have ideas to go from when mine stop, well, like after the first day lol j/k This is going to be done with the kids as well, my daughters babies, 5, 4, and 2 year old. So clearly, what turns out, will be what.turns.out. lol Thanks! |

Whew, I just visited the FB page. There are some talented people over there! I love looking at what they are doing, but I will never post mine there!! I was happy with what I did until I went there. I don't have an artistic bone in my body, so I am just doing the simple doodles I've always done. I will be happy keeping them to myself. I am enjoying the process a lot.
