We're nearly at the end of our journey with
Tammy at
Daisy Yellow and her now famous ICAD project. I wasn't sure I would finish, because there were days I just didn't want to make one. But perseverance is the key, right? And now the finish line is in sight.
The theme of the week was doodles, but anyone who has ever been to my blog knows I don't doodle. My hand cramps and I can't hold a pen for very long due to a rare form of arthritis which is attributed to a birth defect. I can't decorate cakes, either, so I definitely know my limits. So no doodles for me this week, since I'll be striking out on my own.
Day 50
Die cuts I received in a swap were added to a piece of ribbon I sewed to the IC I colored using one of my hand made shimmering mists.
Day 51
Anyone who knows me, knows I couldn't go two complete months without adding a rocking horse into the mix somewhere. Background from a magazine paired with a stamped rocker.
Day 52
I had this already fussy-cut horse image sitting on my desk, so thought now would be a good time to use it. More hand made mists.
Day 53
For this one, I swiped some black Staz-on DTP (direct to paper) on the IC, then used magazine images to shape a heart and background. I printed the sentiment.
Day 54
I found all these "less" words and inked around them.
Day 55
Yes, I agree. Day 55's IC is a bit lame, but I didn't have much time, so cut a few paint chip samples and sewed them together.
Day 56
A bit of sewing, a bit of scrapbook paper, a bit of paint chips, and a yellow pen that doesn't show the date and names very well.

These are great! It's a huge challenge for me... and I AM behind! I must catch up... we are almost done!
I just couldn't see the end when I started either but here we are I don't think I will stop though, I really love making the cards! I love the 1st card this time.
Great cards!! I just love that first one. And anything sewn onto a card is just gorgeous! Beautiful!
Hi...I like all your cards very much...Day 50 is so bright and cheery but I like them all. I'm already thinking, what will I do after ICAD is over? :) I'm thinking maybe go bigger...postcard size. Have a great weekend and I hope your hand gets much better soon.

Great cards! I think my favourite is the first one - so bright and colourful. Love the horses, too!
As always, I love how you think outside the box. I like the sewn ones--one of these days I will unpack the little sewing machine I bought and try that.
I am surprise you've gone this long before featuring the rocking horse! lovely cards all...I just love stitched cards!
I like your cards a lot, such a great format. Hope your hand gets better soon!
Another batch of lovely cards and I am so glad you continued... I would have probably fallen at the wayside long ago!
The last 2 months have gone so fast, it is hard to believe it is nearly finished! Love your cards. I love the look of stitching.
I am always amazed with the amount of variety you come up with for these ICAD projects!
Thanks for your nice comment on my "stained glass" rose cards. I guess we are always our worse critics. I think I'll start a post called, "What to do with projects that don't turn out like you planned"! :)
Love seeing your collection of cards, and what a great variety you've created.
