It's Index Card A Day or ICAD Monday. Although I still don't have a scanner, I have figured out a setup that seems a bit better than my previous attempts to photograph these cards. Thankfully, I will be caught up with these cards I will show today.

Day 21: Marks and Patterns. Sadly, I ran my arm over the ink pad I used to stamp the date and didn't notice until I was ready to photograph it.

I am finally caught up with my ICADs. I have been making them daily, I just haven't been photographing them until now.
Bleubeard and I are really grateful you dropped by today. We promise to not let this get out of hand in the future.

Just lovely. I particularly liked Spooky and the Tulip.
well done catching up sharing your ICADs. a great selection
Good to see you have figured out how to take clear photos! Technology can be so frustrating.
Lovely ICADs, glad you got some good pics this time. Hugs, Valerie
...I'd like the lemonade please.
These are great Elizabeth. I love the spilled cup of tea and that textured paper. The marks and patterns are great too. Well they're all fun to look at. These are definitely your specialty. I hope you're enjoying this long weekend. hugs-Erika
these are all wonderful. I wouldn't never have known you smeared the ink on the marks and patterns. I thought that was the pattern on the card.
I am sorry. I cannot pick a favorite (not that you asked us to do so).
Love them all!
Such bright, happy colorful ICADs. You must be feeling better.
Happy Fourth!! :)
Nicely done! O
ve been playing around with photos on my iPhone. It isn't too bad!
Another great collection! I love the funky cups especially! Your stacked card reminds me of an artist I interact with on Instagram - she calls those shapes “fish scales”.
I'm amazed at your productivity.
A wonderful selection of ICADs Elizabeth! I love the funky tea cups & Not my cup of tea.
Hugs,
Alison
