I wasn't going to participate in
Tammy's Index Card a Day Challenge this year, simply because I missed the kick-off, and figured I would never be able to catch up.
The stars of inspiration aligned to draw me in, however, and yesterday was my own personal kick-off day. I read
Karen's post about using bits from her desk and recycling bin to make one of her cards, and in a flash of insight, I realized it would be a fun challenge to use ONLY items from the recycling bin for the ENTIRE project.
And then as I sat down at the table with my recycle bin next to me, I saw a clothing catalog and an article about dogs in quick succession, and I remembered
my friend Becky's latest interest--pairing animals' heads with models' bodies. How could I resist?
With no further ado, I share with you my first index cards of 2014:

And my final card in this first set went in a new direction, though still relying on all recycling bin materials:

Love these! I did this with my students and they loved the freedom and the fun! I am just using up gelli paper scraps.
Ha--went in a new direction--I get it!
Andria, these are so terrific, creative and witty and cute. I love the one with the security envelope window.
fantastic! and doesn't it feel good to use up all those little bits and pieces?
A lot of fun! I have been saving and sorting animal images and hope to share more with you soon.
