A Year of Questions


Are you participating in the "52Q"? It's on Ember's blog. Click Here for link to it. On the right of her blog you can click a link to 52Q. What is 52Q? Glad you asked!

52Q is an art challenge. Each week (52 times a year), she gives you a question or something to think about. Your challenge is to answer that question in any artsy way you'd like. She is doing a year of tags this year. Each tag is a different week's question. Last year she used a deck of 52 playing cards.

I'm doing mine with invitation size envelopes (4 3/8" x 5 3/4") for the question and then covering a flash card (purchased a pack from the Dollar Store) with the answer. I put a little ribbon at the top of the tag and slip that inside the envelope for that week's question.

The Crop-dial is so wonderful! I used that to punch 3 holes down the side of the envelopes and put binding rings through them so it looks like a mini book. I also used it to cut the top of the tag to place the ribbon through. Even cutting through all these layers, the crop-a-dile cuts it like butter! Amazing!

I encourage you to participate and please post a comment with a link to your blog or pictures of your own creation. Enjoy!

  2. Thanks, Lizzy! You can do it! Use anything you'd like for the question and answer. If you have an old Monopoly game with missing property cards, use the rest of them for this. You can over them with cardstsock or designer paper; write the question on one side; and the answer on the other. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
