Years ago I created a 52-Card Inspiration Deck. This was a project I did with a group of girlfriends who I gathered with every other week for art nights, and I still have this deck sitting in a prominent place in my studio. When I was pulling together materials for Desire to Inspire, I knew I had to include an exercise for readers to make their own decks, and I’m happy it made it through all of the editing stages.

The lovely and divine Jessica Brogan created her own deck and shared her experience about it right here. (Be sure to read the entire entry, as there is a beautiful little twist at the end!) She has since decided to embark upon an adventurous endeavor, which is to manage an Inspiration Deck Card Swap. Tonia Davenport, who I have worked closely with on Desire to Inspire from Day One, has just written about this project over at Create Mixed Media, and even shares photos of her already-finished deck! I hope you’re up for some Inspiration Deck fun ~ I’ll be participating, and am thrilled (and grateful) that Jessica offered to be our fearless leader. Here’s all the news that’s fit to print on the Desire to Inspire Inspiration Deck Card Swap:

Jessica needs to know if you want to participate by February 20th.
Cards will need to land her in mailbox by March 1st.
Tonia’s entry on Create Mixed Media is right here.
Jessica’s entry with all the juicy details is right here.

P.S. Tonia and I are also putting the final touches on another oh-so inspiring project that will kick off on February 16th. All I can say is that we’ll be offering everyone an opportunity to acknowledge those that inspire them most. Stay tuned for a venture I am especially excited about.
