Oh, thank you, dear Elizabeth. I do say "ouais" - but I never saw it written down! (I mean, who says "oui"?!)
I was in a restaurant with Bro and my sick Mom and there was an Einstein-poster on the wall, with his tongue out. Despite her cancer we had a good time.
And Freedom we all long for! And Home. Mom gave me a fox in a sheep´s costume! And Rexi.... A bell is ringing.
Sorry, I cannot pick a favorite - great choice and thank you for the memories. Have a great Friday!

I love the stamps (of course) and how you matched them with the theme. My favorite? Has to be 'quirky'. (although I also like the dinosaurs in 'ancient'.).
Happy Friday,
Lisca

These ICADs are such a fun mix of creativity and history. I love how each card has its own little story with the words, colors, and stamps. The themes really make you stop and think, especially Freedom and Home. Such a cool project to keep building on.

...stay quirky sound good to me!

Hi there. I love the "Dignified" card, because it makes me laugh. I always think of Einstein as "not so dignified." The classic image of him sticking out his tongue tells me that he had a good sense of humor.

I hit exit too fast so now I need to write my comment again-:) You must be on a roll making these ICADS. I like this years style. My favorite today is the dinos; I don't remember this stamp, but then 25 cents for a stamp seems so long ago compared to all increases since then. Have a super FRiday and start to your weekend. hugs-Erika

I always like how you include the stamps in your ICADs. The written background is always fun to read (with the exception of one for lack of knowledge of that language). Are the big cut-out or stamped words the prompts for that particular day?

Sandra Cox said...

It's hard to pick a favorite 'cause they're all great. I think Daring is my choice of ICADs. YOU, have a wondrous weekend.

Your art is so appealing to me. The stamps are lovely and then a single word. Quirky is my fave today. Thank you for joining FFO and have a very nice weekend.
