This weekends cards.

Art journal swap

I love Instagram and use it for inspiration on all sorts of projects. I signed up for an art journal swap and love it. Every month I get mailed a new journal to add my work to. Here's Julys work.  

Four more ICADS

Almost done with the two month challenge!

Some recent art journalling

I tend to make multiple art journal base pages that I can later work on. Once the base layers of color are done I can get to work. Here is one finished. I even journaled (unreadable to most, messy penmanship).

Here is one i finished tonight too:

Love adding a quote with the typewriter. 

Weekend ICADS

ICAD July update

ICAD update

B

Goodness. Seems I was posting cards on a different blog. Woops! Here's a few. 

ICAD 9 & 10

Went neon!! Used my hand carved stamps and some custom foam stamps I made too. Couple inspiring quotes and done!

ICAD 7 & 8

Two cards done for the challenge. Lots of different mediums. Messy and fun!

Also prepped a few cards for busy days. Since neon is so hot right now I bought four tubes of color. Kinda like!

ICAD DAY 6

Day 6, very much inspired by a special treasure. My aunt brought me my great grandfathers nursery invoice slips from 1940!  Five full books!! Can't wait to put them to good use!

ICAD DAY 5

ICAD DAY 4

Used hand carved stamps and rub on letters. Little house stamped on a dictionary page. 

ICAD day 3

I used a hand caved (by me) stamp for leaf/feather. Some edges of paper for a border/background. This new adhesive I have is called YES. I really like it. 

ICAD 2013....Day 1

This is a new challenge I am taking on...called ICAD....Index Card A Day!  From the blog Daisy Yellow (link to right).  She even gives prompts & / or themes each week.  I used my gelatos today to make this card....added paisleys w/ pitt pen.  While I had the cards & gelatos out I precolored some other cards to use later on.  Might even throw on a quote or poem here & there!

Gonna get back to bloggin....

With school out, I am gonna make sure to set more time aside being crafty.  Starting off with ICAD (index card a day) with Daisy Yellow (link on right)....starting tomorrow I should have one post a day for this challenge...and maybe bonus ones with updates on my garden, art journal, etc....here we go!
