Paper Woven Horses... #ICAD2014 Day No. 19 - Orange

Hello friends! I'm playing a little catchup with some of my cards. I had some other creative projects that I needed to work on that took up my daily creative time {and I have been taking some creative time daily}. I have been really inspired by everyone's One-Staple Collages so I started out with this card for the day 19 prompt "ORANGE" to try one.

I have all sorts of bits of this and that saved for collage and cardmaking, some of which being these orange patterned paper scraps {I think are from QuickQuotes}. I had plenty of them to make a woven paper background, but due to the small footprint of my index card, it was a little flimsy... so I needed something to hold my woven paper strip background together so I used some orange patterned washi tape to tack the loose edges down.

Then I pulled out some more orange things in the scrap bag: some off-cut pieces of American Crafts Ribbon; a bread bag tag; tie and tag from dry cleaning; fluorescent orange mini envelope; more washi tape; foil seal from a San Pellegrino Orange Seltzer; and the feature – a horse torn from a notepad at work. All tacked down with a few mini glue dots. Pretty close to one staple... I will try again!  :) Sb

Now I Know my ABC's - #ICAD2014 Day 9 ALPHABET

For the Index Card a Day 2014 day nine prompt "alphabet", I started out by stamping with a virgin {never been inked} stamp in my stash. This is a distressed newsprint/clippings #60-0067 background by Inkadinkado. I stamped it a number of times using jet black StazOn ink - just in case I decide to add color after.

There are bits of doodles and distressed edges, swirls and visible
alpabet letters... a nice start for today's prompt theme.

Then I got out my nicely organized and ever growing stash o'washi tape. I was bad over the weekend and acquired 6 new rolls and when putting them away, I came across two others that were hiding in my tool tote. The words "GET" and "FUN" are clipped out of the newspaper from my puzzle hunt the other day.

The "Just Flying By" is clipped from the stamp storage box that I'm storing my ICAD cards in. I got a bunch of these empty Stampin' Up storage boxes at a crafty yard sale. They are great to hold crafty supplies to be taken on the go.

I had fun mixing, matching and clipping out words to spell out

fun phrases – "Get Out a Happy Smile" and "Love fun Time!" :) Sb
