We made it! The last batch of ICAD leftovers to see. All "cut and paste" stuff in this group. Some markers and paint make an appearance in a few too. Many thanks to those who hu...

The third group of ICAD leftover cards is mixed media "stuff." Paint, markers, magazine clippings, you know, the usual suspects. See-- I warned you there were a lot of leftovers...

Here I am with another group of ICAD leftovers. These pattern type designs are really fun to do-- as long as you don't run out of doodle ideas. Mostly marker and paint once again. There is a cou...

This year I really got carried away with ICAD and made more than one card a day. I only posted one card a day, however, to the Flickr ICAD group and so have a bunch to share now. Up first are fl...

Here we are-- the last of the ICAD cards for 2016. However, as my title hinted at, I have quite a few "leftovers" that I'll share another day, but these are the last "official" cards. Two more p...

ICAD is winding down already! I find that very hard to believe, but then again, July always goes by fast. The first two cards are the ever popular mixed media; magazine clippings and paint. ...

I have photographed some pretty flowers lately. Just thought I'd share, and give readers an ICAD break. Have a nice day!

Back again with the next ICAD installment. My first card is kind of different than the norm; I used fabric along with paint and rubber stamps. I had almost forgotten I had this Nancy Drew fabric...

ICAD is already in the "40s" now! Wow! Here is my next batch of cards. #40 is a monoprint on an index card (not done real well) and some magazine clippings. A little similar to the above c...

More ICAD cards to share today. I have been doing a lot of "doodle" cards lately. Ending the day with a box of markers and just making patterns is quite relaxing. The stripes on this card were m...

For the First of June and the First of July I have always made cards for ICAD featuring those dates. So since ICAD #31 is actually July 1-- here is my 31st card. Scrapbook paper, sequins, marker...

Hello! Here is the next ICAD update. For this first card I used the prompt "winter," however I uploaded it a couple days late. I happened on some winter photos in an old magazine so decided to m...

Yes, I'm back with the next ICAD installment. The prompt for this card was "Invent A Prompt." I decided on "text only." I was curious what a collage of only words would look like, no paint, no i...

ICAD time once again. Another collage for card no. 16. Mostly magazine clippings, there is also a little washi and a paint chip in there. In the "never say never" file, I only planned on us...

ICAD update time... this first card uses the prompt "baseball," and you can't get more "baseball" than Babe Ruth, right? The baseball card is a repro card from a Dover book that I've had for a f...

I'm back with the next group of ICAD cards. Number six is just a collage, using old magazine clippings. The little bird is a wooden scrapbook embellishment. I also added some paint and marker. ...

As promised here is the first batch of my ICAD cards. You may or may not know there are daily prompts which I generally don't follow (go ahead, insert an opinion). This first card is a random cra...

Happy June First! How did that happen?? So here is my first ICAD card. Painted background and "markered" everything else.  Pop over to the Flickr group if you are interested in seeing wha...

I guess I'm committing to ICAD again this year. Making something, anything on a humble index card does have its appeal. There are 10 warm-up exercises. I tried my hand at three. Write your name...

I'm just popping in with a few pretty flowers and a "hello." Can we believe May is winding down already? Time really does fly! June brings the annual ICAD challenge (here is the official info )....

I hit a good estate sale last week. The house was small but jammed packed. This is the most I have bought at one sale in a long time. From the far left, around clockwise: two small, made in Braz...

I picked up a few children's LPs at a thrift store recently. I usually don't buy records, but these sleeves are cute, or at least, I thought so... This is the inside of the above r...

My daughter had a school project recently that involved Aesop's Fables. I had to pull out my old book, published in 1965.   It contains quite a lot of stories, but here are some familiar...

I went to an estate sale Friday which a lot of you may know means everything is full price. With that in mind, I didn't expect to walk away with much, and I was right. The house was pretty full,...

I received a fun comment from Pat, of Corn In My Coffee Pot fame, on yesterday's inchies. She mentioned there was no frame of reference to give an idea of size. Well, she was right so just for ...
