Description:

Thanks to @sassafras for letting me resurrect her index card swap here at CPG!

1 partner, 3 altered index cards! Card can be horizontally or vertically oriented!

This will be a periodic series and based on the Index Card a Day (ICAD) challenge,

But you only have to make 3 index cards, not 61 of them!!

Each index card will be standard 3x5 index card, ruled. Create 1 card a day for any three days between sign up and send by.

Any way you want to decorate the card is fine! Please don't feel you need to be an artist for this one! You just need to put a little thought and creativity into your cards. We are all at different levels and have different skill sets. The most important thing is to put your best effort into this, have fun, and challenge yourself.

What you do on your cards is completely up to you. Stitch. Sketch. Doodle. Stamp. Collage. Write a poem. Share a recipe. Try new techniques. Make lists. Journal to your heart's content. Any place your creativity takes you. On the back of each card, please include your swap-bot name, swap info, card number (card #1, card #2, etc) and the date.

The cards can be flat to chunky, your choice. Many make theirs flat to they can be easily stored for viewing.

Pack securely and mail to your partner!

What to do with the cards you receive? Create a mini journal, use as tip-ins to your journal, add them to a smash book, put them in an index card holder and use for inspiration :)

If you are Instagram, post a pic and tag with our #cpgswap hashtag!

Can the card be laminated after it's decorated?
