ICAD July 2015 Week 06

This week's prompts are for a series of board games. Find all the details HERE.

I like the graphic quality of board game designs and decided to play with those a bit. And coloured pencils. No collage this week. All of them to have that checkered border stamped around, hand drawn and coloured with pencils.


Day 36 - Backgammon (the purple border around the card is the clipboard it was sitting on...)





Day 37 - Draughts (checkers) This one sure brought back childhood memories!





Day 38 - Mahjong. Thinking about what to put on the tiles, I remembered that I have a PC version of Mahjong that has sweets/candies on the tiles...so I decided to add my favourite licorice on there and some mints for colour!





Day 39 - Bingo  Not a game I play but I do like the idea of numbers and blocks.




Day 40 - Now this one I do enjoy playing, but thought how nice it would be to play with multi coloured dice ;-)




Day 41 - Bridge and gin rummy are both out o my league, but as I was reading 'London' by Edward Rutherfurd at the time, London bridge was on my mind and then any bridge is fair game, right?


Day 42 - finally Scrabble. Which is a game I do enjoy playing!


And that wraps up this week. This week was so very different from the previous weeks. It was interesting but not as much fun in the end. Still I think looking at the ICAD as a whole it will be a nice part of the whole.

Keep Me In Your Heart

I knew this quote needed to go into my journal pronto! I did end up making a card for hubby using it for the sentiment. You can see that one HERE And this is what I did in the journal : I kept it very simple as I wanted the quote to be the strong focal point. I used a loose letter alphabet that I picked up from Michaels for $1.50 long ago.  When I first started the journal, I added some colour to each and every page. Some more, some a little. Some painted some with oil pastels. The idea was to make a start to facilitate quick page making in the future. And I tell you it works. It was tedious to start with, but I'm so glad now that I did it that way. The composition book pages are pretty sturdy, but they do 'shine' or show through on the other side when you use bold colour of felt tip markers. Something to watch out for. The strip fabric and fabric heart I added long ago when I had these pretty remnants, but they were perfect for this quote. The stamps are '...

Sadly I've not had time to keep up with the Caravan....but I see it as a delicious box of chocolates that I will one day-soon-  pick up and saviour putting the pages together! Oh yum! I'm looking forward to that!! Meantime I've added some ATC's to my collection. These are all double sided, whether they are journal prompts or not. She Lemon Tree and Atlantis Lost? I'm so thrilled every time I hold the printed versions in my hands! Something about the size I think....

Digi or 'real'?

Image
I recently did the page below in a small journal that I have.(you can see the edges of the book in the untrimmed image) The quote is by Stuart C Hackett and I found it in Lee Strobel's book 'A Case For Creator' Now I had a very definate idea of what I wanted to achieve, and yet, although not displeased, I feel it could have been so much better. I used oil pastels and stamping and added the little tags on the side to feature the quote in it's original latin. I kept it simple and focussed on purpose, but I'm sure I will be doing that one again digitally in the near future. For me digital just has so many more possiblilties. Here is another quote I did....there is a page in the book for it, but I was so unhappy with it, that I recreated it digitally so I can stick this version over the comparative insipid one in the book. It simply did not create enough drama on paper. See - ? Of course I could have kept going untill I achieved the desired effect, but instead...
