All of my cards were ready to go as soon as I had the addresses. I enjoyed making these. I didn't do anything difficult or too tedious, I just had fun with it, and when I ended up with a card I liked, that was the style I used. It didn't take that many attempts either! Next up is ICAD 2015! Starts June 1st!

<p>I've been making these adorable little journals from just two sheets of 9x12 mixed media paper. I want a pile of them sitting in a basket where I can just grab one when I need it. For a gift or my own use, I don't care. I want lots of them, in different colors and with different designs.
<P>I found these on YouTube. I was going through videos on my What To Watch recommendations when a picture of these adorable little mini travel art journals caught my eye. There were several more videos with different techniques and I loved them all. The artist is the very talented Jen of Eve. If you'd like to make some for yourself, give her channel a visit, Jen of Eve Designs. She also has an Etsy shop that's worth visiting.

Oh so messy and I couldn't find my barrier cream. If you use spray inks, barrier cream is a must. I use Invisible Care by EZ Air. I'm pretty sure I ordered it through Amazon. Anyway, I had fun playing and made this background that needed something. That something, I decided, was a house.

<P><strike>I have a stash of napkins that I hate to throw away but haven't used them in about two years. I'm pretty sure they appear in almost every journal I have, so there's no fear of my missing them. If you would like some for your journal pages they are yours for the taking. Message me on Facebook, or email me at frasier(remove this)2@verizon.net with your name, address, which napkin(s) you want and the number of each. These are free as long as postage isn't an issue. I will place as many napkins in a #10 envelope as possible.</strike>

It's been a week since I started the Total 10 Diet to break my carb and sugar habit, and I'm still alive. All those foods I thought I couldn't live without, I've managed to live without. Haven't had a carb or refined sugar in a week. No pretzels, no pasta, no doughnuts. Haven't had any dairy in a week. No ice cream, no French Vanilla Cream in my coffee. No coffee.
<p>I've lost 5 lbs.
<p>I don't feel bloated anymore. I'm not struggling to breathe so much when I wear my jeans, and I can zip them without sucking it in.
<p>I actually love the berry smoothies in the morning, but it's not always easy to figure out what to eat at other times. The diet consists of a little protein and a LOT of vegetables, which I love, but geeeeez. Salads with bland vinegar and oil dressing and freezer chicken everyday are a bit much. But I've figured it out....I actually remember how to cook. Chicken Fajitas tonight and on to week 2!

First day of the new year in the DLP group. Inspired by a video from Rae Missigman, I jumped into a two page spread without a care in the world. Eileenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065304802086633547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690359868536163853.post-82694020453796005312014-12-31T06:00:00.000-08:002014-12-31T06:00:09.333-08:00A Facebook JournalI finally started working on my journal for the bits and bobs I've accumulated from friends on Facebook. (I love that term..."bits and bobs", but you must say it with an English accent.)
<P>I won a beautiful address and card book in an auction and always knew I wanted to alter it for a journal. Some of the pages have beautiful floral illustrations that I don't want to cover up, other pages can be painted or papered, but it has pockets and tabs and all kinds of goodies. When I first got it (months ago) I altered the cover in the same style as the journal I got from Yolanda Pasillas, yoliebean on YouTube. I adore that look.

<P>The first page in the book is from a swap I did at <a href="http://yourpaperpantry.ning.com/">Your Paper Pantry</a> with Jane Bain, lizbeth601 on YouTube. She made a beautiful collage for me that I've kept in my craft corner for years. Originally it was mounted on corrugated cardboard that I had to remove for placement in the book. I think it makes the perfect first page. On the left side of this two page spread, I'll add some writing and a recipe card Jane included for apple cake!

<P>The second page has an art postcard from <a href="http://www.willowing.org/">Tamara LaPorte</a>, a couple of business cards and a tag that served as a mailing label. I found a bit of lace in with my keepsakes and attached it to the edge of the page. The opposite page will have photographs of the items associated with the cards.

<P>All in all, I think this is going to be a fun book to look back on when it's finished.
<P>Have a good day friends!

Not just any dental specialist, but a feline dental specialist. My rescue cat, Heidi, and I were waiting for the vet to examine her mouth and determine how bad this periodontal disease really was. I was expecting the worst. The first consultation I had with another dental vet was bad...real bad. $4,000 bad. So I just sat quietly and waited.
<p>The office was located in a building for a veterinarian specialty group. Dental, Cancer, whatever, it was a big building. I watched the dogs come and go to the other vet offices. Little dogs, big dogs, dogs dancing in circles, dogs with cones on their heads, itty bitty lap dogs and great big HUGE dogs. Heidi seemed to be the only cat until a woman sat down by me and put her carrier on the seat between us. She asked me if I had a sick kitty and I told her all we had were some dental problems....."and you"? My heart broke when she choked out the words that her 9 year old cat had kidney disease and had experienced some problems that morning. She tried desperately to speak but she was struggling so hard to keep the tears back that she couldn't. In that moment, I felt my own desperation as I grabbed her hand and held it tight. There were no more words as we held onto each others hand. Two strangers who knew nothing about each other except that we both loved cats. I could have known this woman my entire life for the compassion I felt, but I didn't even know her name. And then it was my Heidi's time to be examined. I gathered her carrier and waved a quick good-bye to the woman that had touched my heart so deeply.
<p>This brief encounter was sad and heartbreaking, and I'll never forget it. Two strangers able to connect on a level so deep. An immediate, heartfelt connection. It was sad, it was beautiful. It reminded me how wonderful this life can be in spite of ourselves. I reached out to someone, and walked away feeling like she had given me a gift.

A full 30 days of index cards. Yessiree, bob. I'm well into the 3rd week right now so I KNOW I'll make 30 days. Then I'll decide if I can go 60. So, if you're not a Facebook friend, and you haven't seen my daily offerings...this is for you, and for that linky thing that Tammy does. She's the ICAD Queen, the person in charge, the ringmaster, the boss, the big kahuna, the cheerleader, imagineer and all those other great words rolling around in my head right now. We love Tammy, and we show our love every year. You should join us!

<p>Every day has a prompt, but it's up to you if you want to use the prompt or not. There are also themes to choose from, or "one staple" collages, or anything you want to do. It's not about rules or working on something you don't enjoy, it's about being creative. Every day. It's fun. It's loose and free.

<p><b>Week 19</b>
<br>Turned out to be a sad week with the loss of the lovable mascot at the Friends of Felines Rescue Center. It really is amazing how the internet pulls people together. People that never met were in tears and sharing their grief together, while miles apart. I chose to use the entire weeks spread in memory of Putter.

<P>This spread is from Easter week. The challenge was to use food or snack boxes in your art which I did...literally. Creative, huh? Added some cut-outs and color and came up with what looks like an ad rather than a journal page. Did I include that here? No. Go get a box of Welch's anything and you'll see my page.
<P>
The inside, however, I kept within the theme of Easter. Not a lot of anything to write about and no pictures. The one important piece on this page is the quote from Leah Fung, posted to Facebook on Easter Sunday. The image referred to is not included...as I understand it, it was a complex drawing of the pathways within a cell. Leah wrote:
<p>
<i>"Thought I’d share this image with you. I know it’s not your usual Easter Sunday inspirational picture, which I love seeing, but I’ll explain. It’s an illustration of the known cell signaling pathways of just ONE protein receptor (ER-alpha, for example) involved in the growth of just ONE tissue (breast, in this case). There is still so much unknown with just this single protein in this one tissue, let alone its function in all the other tissues of the body. And just imagine there are roughly 100,000 proteins in the human body and each with different mechanisms and pathways of their own. (Sorry, my geek is showing, lol). The complexities of how the body functions at the molecular level are astounding, and what we know is still infinitesimal -- that isn’t an exaggeration. I’m showing this to you because today I’ve been thinking about why I believe in God. It’s not because of some giant leap of faith -- I’m not that strong -- or just because of how my parents raised me or what I learned in church. The fact is the more I learn about how the body functions or any science that makes me curious enough to wade into it, the more I’m convinced these things can’t be random or ever conceived by man. We’re clever but not that clever. At least for me, and what very little I’ve learned, it must be God. Happy Easter, friends!"</i>

But first I have to tell you about Marlene at <a href="http://uniquelyella.blogspot.com/"> Uniquely Ella.</a> She is the master of shabby chic and is blowing everyone away with her incredibly beautiful creations! She's auditioning for the Shabbylishcious Design Team and has made some of the most beautiful shabby chic creations I've ever seen.
<p>Check out her video here
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9eygg7T-PcQ" width="480"></iframe>
<p>And you must check out her holiday house tours for some exquisite decorating ideas. <b>4umarlene1</b> on YouTube. She definitely has the magic touch. I'm truly excited for her and I wish her the best of luck!
<P>Okay, so I really got into spring cleaning this year and cleaned like I've Never cleaned before! Part of my motivation was due to Sophia at <a href="http://mygreatchallenge.blogspot.com/"> My Great Challenge. </a> My goodness, is she a whirlwind of activity. She cleans, she paints, she builds walls and tables...yes, "builds" them. Just makes it all look so simple... I think that's because she knows what she's doing and explains it so well. Her blog is loaded with great information and I truly love her videos. Seriously, you need to check her out, she'll make you proud to be a woman. <b>mygreatchallenge</b> on YouTube.
<p>I cleaned and cleaned, and cleaned some more...(omg, the nooks and crannies of a home are hard to get to) moved furniture, sorted out drawers and closets, and brought out all of my favorite knick knacks and put them back again. I'm not all shabby chic, and not all vintage, but I have a lot of "old" stuff. And I have a large enough bedroom to use part of it as a craftroom. I cleaned that too. The problem here is that you have to empty everything before you can move it...oh my aching body. Gave oodles of stuff away and did my best to shabby it up! I like it. I'm happy with it for now, and I can still add to it. Here's a peek at a corner of my room.

<p>Would you believe I was going to post this a month ago? April 20th to be exact. I think I was having some problems trying to get the link right and forgot about it. Better late than never, and still enough time to get the word out to anyone that doesn't already know about ICAD.

<P>I'm liking this little journal more and more with every week that passes. Not really the journal per se, but the way it's being used. I realize now that I could have used any one of the journals or calendars that I already had, but I went with the Moleskine. Don't know that I'll do that again, have to see if it falls apart before the end of the year or not, that's the true test.
<p> The challenge for Week 15 was Monochrome! I think we need only to do one page for the challenge but I kept it going. Another spread I'm very happy with.

<P>The group challenge was to write out your name and decorate it. My personal challenge was spring cleaning, and OMG it just gets harder every year.

It's not like I don't have enough on my plate right now, but I thought I'd try the monthly challenges as I can work them around The Documented Life Planner, 52 Pick Up, and Joanne Sharpe's Doodle Arts class. Then I went and joined the Journal 52 Group on Facebook thinking.... heck, I don't know what I was thinking. I just want to see how long I can keep all the balls in the air!<br>

<p> April's Challenge was <b>Messy Monochrome</b>, black and white, and the use of one or two accent colors. I started my page with a stencil background that I painstakingly colored. I colored every little circle and outlined every flower and filled everything in. Then I slapped on this beautiful picture of Rhianna and covered it all up! I've always had a bit of a hard time covering up great backgrounds or what I think looks good enough, but I'm getting braver and not regretting it!

I was going to get a jump on this and start early, so I gessoed 12 cards and let them dry...then Stephanie posted before I did anything else. Thank goodness!! Her idea to use washi tape turned out 12 of the cutest darn cards! I must admit I'm hesitant to cover up all the cuteness, but I suppose I could make more!
<p>Here they are in their natural washi state. I don't know if they'll look this cute when I'm done!

<p>I'm happy with week 13! Our challenge was to have someone else start the page, so a friend just drew lines on the page and that was that. I used <a href="http://cathyb.typepad.com/">Cathy Bluteau's</a> technique that I learned in her 21 Secrets class. It was one of my favorite classes and I think she's still offering it on her <a href="http://cathyb.typepad.com/">website</a> at a reduced rate. It's definitely worth taking! I forgot how much fun it was to make these little decorative squares!
<p>On the inside flap I used photocopies of two of my 52 pick up cards and just colored the hearts to give them more pop. The center page is a collage of some of the items I love using, vintage photos and flowers.
<p>Thanks for stopping by!

<p>I've taken a few classes from Joanne and adore her writing and teaching style. This is a woman that absolutely loves what she does! I can't wait to dive into her first book and play. I just signed up for another one of her classes, Doodle Arts and Lettering, and plan on practicing some of those doodles in my DLP!

<p> Art Journaling, by Stampington & Co, just gets better and better. I've been getting this hard cover magazine for several years and not once have I considered cancelling. It never gets old. I was so excited when I received this issue, the spreads are fabulous and there's a great article about Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, one of my all time favorites.Eileenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065304802086633547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690359868536163853.post-80109329050378125982014-04-01T00:30:00.001-07:002014-04-01T00:30:03.124-07:00DLP Week 12Our challenge for week 12 was to cut up a magazine and add it to our DLP. Easy, I thought, I've been cutting up magazines and saving them for eons. But for some reason, this one wouldn't come together for me. My heart wasn't in it. Mercury was in retrograde. Whatever, the reason, it is what it is.
