ICAD 16, SOC 1 and 45OZBKBL 31

Talkspeak-R-US today!

 

With one lowly little 3x5 index card I have tackled three tasks

 

Index Card A Day #16
prompt: postage stamp
fabric zig-zagged to index card, watercolor, cardstock & paper punched holes

Summer of Color Week One
Colors: Citron and Turquoise

45OZ. Butt-Kicking Bucket List
Item #31: Cut something out my Silhouette

I cut those 1/2" Number twos out with the Silhouette I won from Someday Crafts.

I have to tell you that the Silhouette is amazing.
I used to have a non-computer program Cricut and I wouldn't even bother getting it out most of the time.  There was NO WAY it would cut a 1/2" two.
The Silhouette sets its own blade depth, speed and pressure and it is AWESOME!

More Spirit Doodling

My camera --needed charging,

so I'll have to share my ICAD box steps with you tomorrow.

 

Until then...

 Another one of my doodle exercise from the 21 Secrets class "Sacred Journaling"

It's interesting what this meditative, brain-spilling activity allows you to see about your thoughts.

I don't keep a written journal, writing seems laborious to me and that's not a good start to letting your thought out.

I find that drawing is a relaxing way for me to sort through my mind, solve problems...or just relax.

Outshining ICAD Box

I'm having mega fun with ICAD 2013!

Where to put all those precious little masterpieces?

I was thinking on that problem as I started to break down a popsicle box and it HIT me...

This Outshine box seemed to be about the right size to store a stack of index cards.

It would need some adjustments.

Measuring, thinking, gluing, and cutting would be involved.

Could I do it?

 

YES!! I did it!

I made ICAD storage with my Popsicle box!

Ignore the current embellishment--it needs more, but the box hasn't "spoken" to me and told me what that need is yet.

 

Wide enough for a stack of 61

 

Don't they just look right at home in

 there?!

 

To keep things real (and proof)...

I didn't cover the bottom--hee hee hee!

 

Now I'm off to make another--We really like these bars, so I have many more boxes.

Creamy Coconut and Lime rule in my opinion.

 

I'll post some pictures on the how's and measurements tomorrow.
