Hello and Happy TGIF!! It's the first week with Summer of Colors, YAY!! This first week's colors are perfect for kicking off the start of summer I think. The colors are aqua, yellow and a pop of hot pink added in. Having a third color is something new this year and I am happy about it.
Our wonderful hostess Kristin does a great job picking colors and inspiring us to have some fun with color. She even has giveaways each week to make it that more fun, thank you Kristin for hosting us again this year!! I decided to use the colors each week on my ICAD to make it easier for me, summer time means we are busy so combining them makes it possible for me to do both projects. I especially like that several of you are doing one or both of these projects too, YAY!! Now for some sharing...
I wanted to use a little of every medium if I could just for fun. I did this last year too and enjoy it. The bottom one was my first one on Monday when she announced the colors, on Tuesday I made the other 4 and one more I will post next. Click on the image to see better, the yellow looks a little green here but I assure you it's yellow. I really love these colors!!
here is a flower doodle with sharpies, again the yellow looks green but its yellow. So that is the first week of SOC and now I can't wait to see what the colors will be next week.
here are my ICADs for the week using red/orange again, still loving these colors. That last one is a special one just for Renee because she got a job at Dairy Queen this week, YIPPEEE!!! I am writing about our days on the back of these, forgot to get a picture to show you.
I can't say enough how fun and easy it is to add a little art time each morning by making these.
In other news, Summer got her braces off and looks so pretty!! I still need to get a picture of her. The weather has been just right and a mix of clouds/sun this week which I am fine with. My sister has pretty flowers growing at her new house that will make for a pretty mandala, hoping to do that for Monday. We have survived this first week of summer break, lots of driving around and pick up/drop offs and Summer and I have walked the track each morning this week, YAY!!
Have a great weekend and thank you for visiting! Remember to stop by Kristin's to see more SOC fun from others. If you haven't joined in the fun you should.

Hi Dawn! Thank you for your wonderful visit to my blog! And for inviting me to participate in the SOC last year! I absolutely love what you did with these colors! Your work is so creative and beautiful, Dawn! I ladies love your orange ICADs!! Very cool! Yes, enjoy your day with your hubby on Sunday, too! Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat index cards, Dawn! My favorite is the one with all the pieces of tape.
ReplyDeletegreat cards Dawn-don't you just love those SOC colors?? Nice way to combine challenges too:)
ReplyDeletexo!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're having fun with these colors and have the chance to create both challenges at the same time. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteI've had so many blog hops this week, I haven't had a chance to catch up. Thanks for visiting earlier.
Great work for the challenge. My favorite is the square block design.The red orange stripes ICAD looks very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog Dawn. I want to do my sketching on a book that can last for the whole year. I still have not found one like that, so now I'm doing it on watercolor sheets. I too love book paper, will be sketching on them too. Happy to hear that you are thinking of daily sketching too.
Have a great weekend
Susan
Love your patterns and your ICADs. You've made the colours combine well together.
ReplyDeleteThese all look really lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the colors.:)
ReplyDeleteLovely colors Dawn, and look at how pretty you make them look, I will try to do something with them too, the link you posted here doesn't seem to work for me though.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I am also doing both challenges but I decided to use my ICAD to "practice" on for SOC. I like how you did yours in a series based on the colour prompt - very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love throwing everything together on a page too! Looks like you had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love these colors together? Nice!
ReplyDeleteI totally LOVE your ICAD cards Dawn! The way you used the colors is positively YUMMY! So fun and summery!
