Stampin! with Jaydee

Hi Everyone.  Happy Monday.

I have a quick card for you tonight.  Whilst I was on vacation, I got to play along with some challenges and also discover some new ones.  This challenge is one of the new challenges I found and it was a super cool challenge.  It was made even more fun by the fact that I got to CASE one of my fellow, very talented, design team members at ATCAS.

Here's the Inkspirational challenge details:

Now, I had fun looking through Sandie's older cards, but this particular card really attracted my attention:

Well, let's start by talking about the elements that I used for my card:

• the idea of brightening my day
• The layout
• The colors - yellow, pink, blue and black

I managed to combine two different sets - one from Technique Tuesday (where all of the elements came from) and Simon Says Stamp's new "watt's up" set was used for the sentiment.

Here's my take on Sandie's fabulous card:

I know you can't see it, but the light bulb and the first two lamps have gel roller on some of the areas to make give them a little glimmer and shine.  For the fourth lamp, I decided to use som SU red glimmer paper with the Itty Bitty Heart punch to cover up the white heart that was on the lamp underneath.  I added a line of yellow above and below the lamps not only the ground them, but to replicate the scoring that Sandie used on her card.  

Hopefully, you will be inkspired to pop along to the challenge site and CASE Sandie, too!

On a personal note:

Well, I survived my first day back at the office.  We got off to a very early start as Lou had to get up at 3.30 am to catch a flight.  That means that I have lots of running around to do tonight, so this will be a quick post :-)  I can honestly say though, that the last 10 days have been great.  Today was a sad day as many of my colleagues who were affected by the recent resource action had their final day today......

The weather was gorgeous  yesterday, but I just checked the weather report and we are expecting a couple more rounds of snow this week - with some rain and ice thrown it.  Winter certainly isn't giving up its grip just yet :-)    Colleen, envious of your sunburn :-)

Thanks to all of you who voted on the Paper Players card this week - I think you are all right, the dots really do add that little something.  So, thank you to all of you!

I'll be back tomorrow with another card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs

Jaydee
