Hello and welcome to The Joyful Soul Creates!
This blog is an offshoot of our original blog, The Joyful Soul. I, Lady Joyful, initially made The Joyful Soul Creates to have a blog dedicated to all the things I make – photography, crafts, writing – but it quickly evolved into a space for me to share my developing card making hobby.
I started making cards at the beginning of 2016, and soon became addicted. I enjoy making cards and will often make a new one each day, which means I have quite a stash of them! Every card I make is a learning experience, and I develop and refine my style and technique with each one.
You can click here, or on the tab at the top of the page, to find information about my Design Team and Guest Design positions.

If you have any questions or comments don’t hesitate to let me know!
Love,
Lady Joyful

Yes, it’s been pretty hectic for me too with starting my new job! I’m probably going to sleep earlier than your kids 😉

Lady Joyful, didn’t see a contact page so I’ll ask here. Is it OK to use the picture of your Elephantastic Birthday card? I had to build upon a comment that interested me on a site I liked and I chose the comment between you and samanthamurdoch on lighting, shadowing and coloring. Good luck at your coloring class. Let me know about the picture.
