It is now the end of May and things are gearing up for the summer months. In this post I'll review the last month's #creativedeed365 offerings and where I see it going in the next month or so.
Plan in review for #creativedeed365.
When I first began this 151 days ago back in January 2015, I planned on:
1. Sticking to a small card format has worked out well. As I continue to be busy and am ramping-up to get even more tied-up with school and work for at least the nest 2 months, a small size format will limit the amount of time it takes to create one deed "on-the-go". Although to be honest I am secretly looking forwards to having some free time in the fall so I can spend hours on just 1 deed for the sheer pleasure of it!
2. Up-cycling cards (first & whenever possible). I have up-cycled for most if not all of the first 5 months (and 151 deeds) and in preparation for the 6 Degrees of Creativity 2015 workshops I am now switching for the next 2 months to use the cards I made for the workshop (you'll have to tune back in June/July to see more or sign-up for the workshops!).
January - First 31 Days of 2015
February - 28 Days of #creativedeed365
March - March Days of #creativedeed365
April - It's Raining Deeds!
3. Creating a 'batch' for the month of blanks to use throughout that month is going well and has been the main reason for the 151 strong success. May was the first month I made a mini ATC book. Turns out its quite the endeavor at the onset but it helps keep my cards in order throughout the month...and there's something to be said about the feeling of "peeling-off" a card form the stack each day. Loving it!
4. Documenting has been going well. Although it is challenging to take photos in the evening that are true to the piece. I am getting better at creating and documenting each day. I still don't post to Facebook everyday. To get daily images check-out my Instagram.
5. Keeping it simple. Some days things workout and some I just NEED to create a complicated card. So I may be dropping this as a stead-fast rule. Not all things work out as planned.
Lastly, my biggest challenge by far is distribution of the cards. I hardly go anywhere so I keep building stockpiles of cards. I've been mailing them in small quantities to people in my address book and asking them to distribute for me. I'm also scheming on other means of "gifting" them to those who may need them. More on that in the coming months.
Enjoy the May offerings.
