well, thanks are in order to creative74 and Roxie for bringing another great sketch for us to play...I know my cardmaking has definitely improved since I took to this challenge, how about you?
There was never a doubt as to my sentiment when I saw the sketch...I've been waiting for a skinny spot to put this wonderful pearl of wisdom! It is from a set of acrylics by Cloud 9. I inked it with ColorBox lava black (could this be indicative of my beauties' mood?) I stamped my card base with SU's Tres Chic bg in TI di weathered wood. I especially wanted the happiness and create to show at the bottom. My SU pretty in pink paper is stamped with a Judikin crackle bg inked with Acient Page Flamingo...I couldn't resist the WRINKLED look!!! and distressed the heck out of the edges!!! The square is from a gorgeous photo scrapbook paper I believe you can still find at Jo-Ann's. And now to my morning GLORY! I used a MM tag template to add texture to this panel. She (ME...why never!) is stamped with Adirondack pitch black and colored with Copics. I inked the edges of the tag with VersaMagic pixie dust...because I am determined to get that Art Impressions gal to smile!!! I added a touch of yellow with velvet ric-rak ribbon at the top of the tag.
Now I know us gals are JOY makers! Who couldn't be when we rise early to get a card made before work or burn the candle well past midnight when the creative energy is flowing...so laugh deeply now and go out and create some mo JOY!!! Thanks for your comments.

How did you find that photo of me? (Especially when I am making coffee for DH when he is going fishing LOL. Actually, I do that with joy.) Great thoughts in your description, too. Not sure I would have put a piece of that gorgeous bg paper behind her, however!!!

Oh Susan, this is the best sentiment! I must try to find it! Your pleasant joy maker image doesn't look so joyful, but I know she hasn't had enough coffee yet! Love the distressed edges and the velvet ricrac is awesome!
