ICAD - Post # 7

Well, ICAD is winding down over at Daisy Yellow. There's just one week I mean a few days left to go now. So, without further ado, here's index cards 48 through 54.....

Prompt: Dreamy



Used a much-loved but little used mask.

Prompt: Sketch a bicycle



Yeah, it's not a sketch. You did see my houseplant right? No way I was even going to attempt to draw a bicycle.

Prompt: Make a pocket.



So, that's inside the pocket. And this is.....



outside the pocket. And I already called no tag-backs. So nah, nah, nah, nah nah.

Prompt: Confetti



The "party" words are from a package of confetti. And, that's pretty much a self-portrait of me at any function/party. (Though I usually wear more than just undies.)


These last three don't have any prompts....



I'm still using this dollar store multi-colour ink pad I bought when I first started crafting.



Broke out my dd's oil pastels for this one.



*snicker* Gotta love Jack Handy.

Chevrons @ Little Red Wagon

This week at



the challenge is to use a chevron pattern. Chevrons are pretty "in" right now so google yourself a tutorial on how to create one, use a die cut or even use patterned paper with a chevron design.

This is what I did.....



So I used chevrons in two different ways. I used a mask and slopped on some paint and I used this tutorial for creating chevrons out of some pp. And yeah, after all was said and done, I realized that, "D-uh" I forgot to cut the edges out so it looked like a chevron instead of just a straight piece of paper. Really. *sigh*

So why not head over to Little Red Wagon and enter the "Chevron" challenge. And be sure to check out the fabulous projects the other Girlfriends have done.

ICAD - Post # 6

Almost caught up, woo hoo! These are ICADs #41 - #47....

Prompt: Write a pangram.

Not the most succinct pangram ever but it does contain every letter. (I checked...twice!)

Prompt: Ladybug

Fly away home......

Prompt: Circus

Don't know if you can see it, it's very Rorschach-y. Really wish I hadn't done such a pee-pee poor job with the Distress Ink. Really I deserve it though for laughing at Tammy.

Prompt: Draw an EDM prompt.

I picked "Draw a houseplant." Still can't draw but I don't hate this card. How's that work????

Prompt: Cut out

Been meaning to do this technique on an actual card card but still haven't got around to it.

Prompt: Numbers

Sorry if that's harsh but I actually feel physical pain when someone does it wrong.

Prompt: This one's all Lauren's fault.

She made me remember something that I had long forgotten.....

ICAD - Post # 5

(See, Lauren. It's not hard at all to come up with interesting titles for ICAD posts. Bwah hahahahahahahahahahahaha)

Okay, so ICAD round # 5. And here we gooooooooooooooo......

Prompt: Diagram your lunch.

Yeah, that's not a diagram, is it? But there's a method behind this. See, I like to eat. In fact, I love to eat. I especially love to snack. So, in order to be able to snack like I like to I've learned to compensate by eating less at mealtimes. (That way I don't grow as big as a house.) So, lunch for me is almost anyway a salad. Which is good, I like salad. But how awesome would it be if you could eat something full-fat and juicy like this burger and not suffer the expanding waistline and clogged arteries that would inevitably come with choosing this as an everyday lunch? Pretty freakin' awesome, I'd say.

Prompt: Graffiti

And after it was all said and done I realized that I had done my "artwork" on the wrong side of the card. Darn you Tim Holtz for having your embossing folders opposite of everyone else.

Prompt: Collage of pinks

Not much to say here....

Prompt: Mondrian artwork

Had to google it. I'm so not educated.

Prompt: none

Just some pretty flowers at a delicious restaurant right on the lake.

Prompt: Haiku

Geez, I hope I got it right. (See the comment after ICAD # 4 on this post.)

Prompt: Definition

Now, don't get me wrong, I play sports. In fastball I play pitcher and catcher (though not at the same time) so I'm used to having balls wailed and hit at me. And that's all fine and good. But, if I don't know where a ball is and especially if I think there's a chance it's coming towards me and just might hit me in the face, I will turtle like nobody's business and I have been known to turtle and hide behind someone. It's something of a running joke, and even though I know I'm being laughed at (albeit good-naturedly....at least I hope) I'm not going to change my spots....or stripes (depending on what kind of turtle I'm being....*snort*).
