Thank You for Spreading Joy

It's a really good thing I had all of those swaps to share with you all as I have been working hard on a wedding favor job that I got the day we left for convention, so I was pretty much committed to using all of my free time on that until Friday. When the chance to play with my new stuff finally presented itself on Friday, I almost couldn't decide what to play with first. 
There is a delightful new stamp set available from Stampin' Up! called Spread the Joy that was unveiled at convention. It was designed by Emily Montoya, one of the Curriculum Developers and Trainers from SU Main Offices.  I instantly fell in love with it and had to order my own right away! It is whimsical and fun, and I have finally been able to play with it just a bit. This is my first creation with it. It is not an earth shatteringly good card, but it was really fun to dream up :)

There is just a bit of the new Sweater Weather DSP in use here also. Yummy, is all I can say. I thought about what kind of card would be a good way to use this image, and how we should thank those in our lives who spread joy to us all. Ta-Da!

• Stamps: Spread the Joy, Lots of Thanks
• Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Raspberry Ripple, Early Espresso
