Change of plans.

As my last post stated, I had intended on taking Darcy's Post Card challenge for 2012.  Well, I have gone back to work and now I will just be following everyone else to see what they are writing and creating.  I did get the folder/book made and I will still fill it with all kinds of goodies but I won't have the time to write a story and keep up with creating a post card each week.  I am looking forward to filling the book though.  I'm sure to be back at my regular pace soon!  Here's a pic of the book and a couple of pics of a mini album that I made for a trade.

2012 Postcard Challenge

Hey Arty Bloggers, while I was in my studio this morning, working on some ATCs, I caught Dede (inkwell) doing a live Ustream broadcast.  Awesome, she is so inspiring and lots of fun!  CHECK HER OUT HERE!.  Dede was talking about a postcard challenge Darcy from Art and Sole will be hosting in 2012. Sounded like a lot of fun so I had to look into it!!!  What and intersting challenge!!!  The concept is based on a group of BOOKS by NICK BANTOCK .  The idea is to create two ficticious people who will correspond by postcards from across the globe.  You will create 52 postcards and a book to put them in.  This interests me for a number of reasons.  First, I will be creating a book, which I love to do. Second, I will be creating 52 postcards, fun, fun, fun and third, I will be writing tid bits of a story (of sorts), which I used to do but haven't done in many years. I will also learn more about this world we live in by getting to know a bit more about all the countries the characters will be traveling too.  The coolest part will be blog hoping to see and read all of the participants postcards/stories.  This is just a great idea!!!  Check out Darcy's BLOG and hopefully you'll join in too, I would love to see you along the way in our world travels!!!  Off to get started on one of Dede's FILE FOLDER POSTCARD ORGANIZERS
