Hello friends! Today I'm posting a card for Our Daily Bread Designs Shining Light Challenge #63. If you're a blog regular, you know it's one of my favorite challenges to participate in! This week's instructions were to use a sentiment only, no stamped images. I had this cheery paper from DCWV that I've been dying to use, and . . . do you keep an idea book? You know, something you can carry with you to jot down those ideas that just pop into your head at the strangest times? I started carrying one in 10th grade, when I was obsessed with sketching. Now my book is a mish mash of card sketches, embellishment ideas, challenges, color combos, and what appear to be random words strung together (what did I mean by, "violet lighty salsa stripe?" Lighty isn't even a word!) Well, I must have a million sketches in there and for this card I did something I'm proud of . . . I actually used one to make a card! I'm not saying it's super unique. I'm not saying it's the breakthrough of the century. But I did come up with it my own self, write it down, and then come back and use it months later. I feel so grown up, LOL! Before I list the details, I want to mention that the green spotted-looking paper behind the sentiment circle is glittery IRL. It's sooo pretty! But the glitz doesn't want to show up in a picture, so I am pointing it out because I am OCD that way. :-D

I LOVE it!
Those colors and paper are incredible...
and the sentiment!
It's perfect!
This is gorgeous Jill! The colors on this are so happy and I love that crocheted flower!
Gorgeous card. Love the sentiment. I keep a pad next to my computer and often do not understand what I wrote. Tried bookmarking, now into Pinterest. Everything in one place, at least if it's on the internet. Everyday sightings? Little bits of paper in my purse, often lost. Again, fabulous card!!
Jill this is great...so bright and cheerful. And guess what ...I can see the sparkles LOL!!!

The orange and striped paper are very 'juicy' looking!! And I can see the glitter on the green paper when I enlarge the image. so pretty. The orange flower is gorgeous, too!! Way to go!!
