The Big Guy and I ended up with an unexpected free day this week - a very rare occurence! Watching Emma, keeping my mother on track and dog sitting up to five pups on any given day keep us very busy during the week. So when I returned from my early morning walk I told him I had made new plans for the day -
1 - I would nap after breakfast.
2 - I would then make a card.
3 - I would have lunch on the porch and read the afternoon away.
And he responded with - "They are building a new playground at a neighboring elementary school. I'm going there to help."
Wow I am such a loser! But luckily I don't dwell on such things for long. When he left I immediately put my plans into action and am delighted to report I accomplished all my goals - which included this card for the Paper Players!
Miss E - who does light up my life - had an adventurous day exploring the outdoors. Here she is waving to her Dad as he zips by!
I used Pun Intended for Joanne's fun challenge! I found the perfect DSP in my stash - it looks so industrial with a path of light across it!
This card is also for my good friend Jen Timko's Dare to Get Dirty Challenge at Splitcoast. Lots of fabulousness going on there this week!

We all need our downtime and it sounds as though with your normal very busy life sometime downtime was exactly what you needed. You and Big Guy felt a sense of accomplishment. I love the background of your card as well as the lightbulb and sentiment.
Sounds like a perfect day to me! Glad that you achieved all of those goals and created an awesome card in the process! :)
Such a great card, Linda! I love how the background paper casts a light of its own (that yellow beam in the middle). Love it!
Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day! Love the papers and of course the bits of bling!!
Love your card today, that stamp is one of my favorites. Your DSP looks fantastic with it and the sprinkle of sequins is perfect!
Love your cards and totally love your ice cream plan for dealing with the heat! Works every time.
Such a fun card Linda! Love the lightbulb image and sequins scattered about!
I like the geometric background in your card. I CASed it for my PP307 entry. I am soory i cannot draw the words with my mouse yet. :)
Any way, you have a great card!
LOL...I love this punny card, and that background paper is perfect. I am glad you had a relaxing day...my week is going to be like that and I am enjoying every minute of it! LOVE the photo of Emma....what a cutie!
Linda love how you used the swish stamp behind the bulb of the light instead of coloring it in... love that. Your card is so cute.
Pretty exciting ZIP line for Emma to see... especially with daddy hanging on and not some stranger... Zippppp!
Also love you accomplished all the tasks on your list... especially the first one. Love that!
Linda I love your card, but I love your plans for the day even better! I hope the day was as absolutely lovely as it sounds!
Sounds like a perfect day to me! You are one busy lady! Love the background DSP! It is absolutely perfect for your card! I know Miss E lights up your life! I get it! XXX
What a perfect day Linda - and all the better for being an unexpected one! Love your card - that paper is just perfect! I have some too somewhere - must dig it out because it looks fab with the lightbulb!
Awesome card, Linda. The DSP looks great as the background for this light. Love it!
I love that stamp set to begin with but you have truly found the perfect paper for it!! And no - you are not a loser! - time to craft is time to recharge to be a better human being for the people around you! (That's my excuse anyway!)
