I'm Still Keeping Up!

I'm happy to report I am still getting my index cards done. I'm quite pleased with myself, as I usually do have such a hard time with "follow through". I took Sunday off this week. I've had a few ideas for ones for the rest of the week. I keep forgetting about the prompts that are provided for us every week. I hope to explore them soon, just to give them a try.

Here are the past two days. Perhaps you can guess what kind of mood I've been in. I am not much of a T.V. watcher, but this time of year I do have a couple of favorites and I take my viewing of them very seriously! LOL Everyone knows not to call me when my shows are on. A few of my friends watch the same shows, so we text each other during the commercials.

The Party Card

Oh Dear, Oh Dear...I forgot my Celebration card. I'm also not sure how to correctly do a link, back to the ICAD site, but I will try. http://daisyyellow.squarespace.com/
Not a linky, but someday I will learn.



My collection of 30 cards done so far.

Halfway Through The ICAD Project

Well, the people who started June first have 45 cards. I didn't hear about it until later, so I started on the 16th, and have 30 cards. I have really enjoyed doing this project, for a couple of reasons. It has gotten me back in the habit of creating daily, which makes me feel happy. Also, I am "revisiting" my art supplies, and reorganizing them and trying out some old techniques I hadn't used in a long time. It's so fun to see what other people are doing as well. I really want to learn to do zentangles now, and I want and need to practice my sketching skills. This should bring me up to date, including the celebration card for the Halfway mark. I had a migraine this morning so am still feeling a little loopy from the meds I had to take, so the card I did today may be a little off balance. But most days I myself am a little off balance, and that's just the way it is.

Still in the Game

Hey Folks,
I'm still in the ICAD challenge, have been doing, just haven't had time to photo and upload. I took these late in the day yesterday, the light wasn't really good, so I'll do the rest today. I know scanning would be the way to go for better effects, but grabbing the camera is so much quicker.

5 July.. B&W papers, Japanese masking tape.


6 July.. Tim Holtz tape background, Sparkly stickers.


7 July.. Spritzed background, collage.


9 July.. Felt background, stitched, embellished. This is my Magic Carpet Ride!

This one didn't photograph well, I may have to re-do it. It looks fabulous in person, IMHO! LOL

I took the 8th as my "no card" day as I was out of town.

It's The Fourth of July

Feeling patriotic with the cards over the week-end.

2 July. This one turned out totally different than what I thought when I started it.


3 July. This one I call Whee..whee. I was thinking about the Geico commercial where the little pig cried all the way home, with the pinwheels. Kinda goofy I know.


4 July. Made from foil wrappers from Hershey's kisses.


No fireworks for this 4th. Burn ban because of our severe drought. Not even a public fireworks display. Going to eat B-B-Q then watch the Boston Pops.

Catching up with ICAD

The past week has been crazy busy, days fly by and before I know it, the week-end is here again. I do not know where the time goes, I wish I had more to show for it. As far as getting things accomplished.

I've been doing the Index card a day challenge, but no time to post every day. I think it is easier to do them, then post a few at a time. I finally got a tray of supplies put together so I can move it around to different places to work on them.

Here's the latest:
