Second on the 2nd

   

Today I have a two-fer for my second look.  I like to honor our Art Journal Journey host each month, so here is something dealing with Language.

I called this Words of Wisdom, and it was from April 1, 2020, when Valerie hosted Art Journal Journey.

The other second look I want to spend time talking about are those little index cards a few of us alter every June and July.  This will be my ninth year participating and I know a few of you join me each summer.  I would love for you to join me, too.  It's a great way to use your scraps, too.

Last year's final ICAD.

Here was the final ICAD for 2019.

This is Day 61's Index Card for 2018. It was the year I created every index card using hearts in some way.

This is the final card for 2017.

This is how I ended 2016's cards.

This is how I ended 2015.  It was the first year I didn't use any glue, relying instead on mostly sewing, but occasionally stamping images, or stapling words and images on the cards.

 

This was my final Index Card for 2014.

This was from 2013, the first year I played.  This was when I honored Daisy Yellow with my final index card.  

_______________________________________________________

I hope this has piqued your interest in making these index cards daily in June and July.  Check out Tammy's blog for particulars.  This will explain ICADs and possibly give you pointers.  When I first started, I was able to share my ICADs on Tammy's blog.  Soon after that, she moved everything to Facebook and Instagram, neither of which I am a member.  Therefore the only place you will see my daily index cards will be here on my blog.  

 

Now it's your turn to share your own Second on the 2nd.   Now it's time to share your own Second on the 2nd.  The rules are quite simple and everyone is welcome to join the fun look back.  All you have to do is bring back a post that you are especially proud of, or perhaps one you shared before anyone knew your blog existed.  Any post, any genre, any artistic endeavor is acceptable, as long as it's been published sometime in the past.  Then link below (direct links only, please) and Bleubeard and I, along with other Second on the 2nd friends, will be by to visit.  Please be aware, you have until T Tuesday (4:00 p.m. my time Monday) to add your Second Look link.  After that, you will no longer be able to add your link.
