Lovely card, as usual. I like to craft in the middle of the night when the kiddies are settled in for bed and I have my craft area all to myself!
Most of my crafting is about lunch time, my older kids are in school and my youngest is down for a nap. I wish I could around the clock! I love the cuts on that Christmas cart... can you make a card with the that tree that looks like ribbon or swirls?
Great card!! I like to craft during the day because the light is the best. I don't have craft lighting.

Circular cards are such a nice touch; I love them. I craft after my kids are in bed and if I don't fall asleep:-)
WOW Joy what a great card I love everything about it.Just all your special touches and lucky me I have everything you used to make this card guess we do truly like the same things from the cartridges, Emma's stamp set & Martha Stewart's Punch and to think I found out about it all on your blogs so THANK YOU!!!
THANKS FOR SPREADING YOUR "JOY"
OOPS 4 got to say I craft during the day and lots of days I'm at it for the whole day about 5 hours.
Your circular card is a real keeper. Keep those shape cards coming! Love your christmas inspirations, just wish theyd come earlier, but ive got great ideas to select from for next year! I usually craft in the afternoon just after lunch, which I could craft 24/7 but way too much to do throughout out the day :-( Thanks for sharing.
I love this card. Can't wait to for more ideas. Keep up the great work. This site is great. Tanya_wyatt@sbcglobal.net
such a lovely card I just love Christmas cards. TFS
later tater,

Very pretty card! TFS
I rarely craft late at night. I'm more of an afternoon crafter.
Love this card--from the shape to the striped ribbon.
I do best crafting in the morning too.
Love round cards and this one is super cute! I craft when my son is down for a nap or in the evening when my husband is home.
Very pretty Christmas card! I craft whenever the creative bug hits me, but usually during the day.

My best crafting is done during daylight hours when I can be in natural light and see the best.
Thanks for the awesome idea - I may have to use it for my Christmas card this year!

I'm definitely a morning crafter...the eyes get a little too tired after the sun goes down..LOL!!
Love the Cartridge!!

I love this card. It looks like it comes together pretty quickly and easily too.
I have a toddler and an infant at home, so I definitely do my best crafting after they go to bed. I do probably do my best work around 11PM or midnight - after I've experimented for a couple of hours and changed direction two or three times.
Great card. I'm an evening crafter although I sometimes craft throughout the day.

I really love the designd of Teresa Collins, the details are grest. This cartridge is on my Wish List.
I think the new TC cart is stunning. I looked at your card and actually went straight to the online store and put clicked on Buy. I love to craft at night but until recently when I splurged on an Ott light it was really frustrating... I still prefer daylight so generally I either do the attaching / glueing at night on a LO that's pretty much done or I start the looong process of selecting bits for a LO and leaving it all out for the morning. I try to make no final decision or cutting stuff at night:-)
I craft whenever I am able but probaby mostly in the evening.
I'm an evening crafter but when a birthday or special event happens I have everything always set up and at hand.
Thanks for all the ideas.
I would Love the "B" is for boys cartridge.
norenbergtina@yahoo.com
I do most of my crafting after lunch. Gotta get all my chores done first. lol!

Great card! I just got this cartridge so I'm so excited to try it out. LOVE the red sheet music in the background! I do my best crafting at various times - mostly when I have "chunks of time" so that I can get into a groove, so to speak! Have been wanting the B is for Boys Cartridge - thanks for the chance to win!
Beautiful! I love the variety of christmas cards you have been showcasing!
Early evening is my most creative time. That's due to planning the pages or project all day! I can't stay up all night anyway! LOL!
I love your card & I see soooo much I could do with the "Boy" cart.! I'll have to have it, even if I don't win it!
Thanks for the ideas!

Super cute, card!
I do my best work in the morning, when I am fresh and rested, but I usually photograph my cards/projects in the afternoon.
Thanks for the chance to win!
What a beautiful card! I just got this cartridge and can't wait to use it!
I love to get together with my sisters and we craft all weekend...till 3 in the morning and then get up at 7 and start all over again. It takes me a week to catch up on sleep after our weekends but how much fun we have! I craft best when I can be uninterrupted for awile and for several hours at a time.
This is a cute cartridge. I enjoy seeing your creations.
Due to an extremely small home and my Cricut machine I have to work around my husbands sleep schedule and my daudghters sleep schedule and then of course there is my work schedule, so my crafting time is extremely limited. In an ideal world my most creatively, crafty time is usually first thing in the morning.

I like to craft during the morning after my son leaves for school.
gracevel@comcast.net
As my hubby works nights, I craft at night. When I start crafting in the morning, I don't want to stop!
Very nice card. I usually carfts during the day when I am home alone.
I craft all around the clock too. Mainly in the afternoon but have been known to burn the midnight crafting oil too.
Thanks for the great video on how to download files into the Cricut Craft Room. I finally got it.
I'm a multi tasker, so my crafting gets done while I'm doing other things. Saturdays and Sundays I seem to be the most active.
I sometimes work at night - but the mornings when I do not have to go to work are best for me - sometimes the ideas come and sometimes I have to WAIT! I love challenges - it keeps me thinking - good for the brain! I would love to win the cartridge - a nice addition to my collection. Thank you for the opportunity - have a great day!
Not sure if my heart beats faster with excitement or slows down in awe of the great cards you make. This one is not exception and really gets me wanting to get started on my cards! Thanks for sharing the inspiration!

Beautiful card! I like to craft while watching tv in the evening. I also like to craft when I feel like the world is crashing down around me- it helps move me into a new thought process.
Wow, this is beautiful. I see another cartridge being added to my wish list.
Wow, this is beautiful. I see another cartridge being added to my wish list.
The card i gorgeous. I will craft at anytime I can get.
Love your Christmas card! Since I turn into a pumpkin at midnight...I tend to craft during the day! Lee-Ann :)
Enjoying the circular card.
I'm more of a morning scrapper. I do become a full day scrapper on rainy / snowy days.
Like you I do my best in the morning. I really like yhis card. Very pretty.
Kathy:)
Beautiful Card! I craft with any time that I have. Usually in the winters its late at night because my husband is plowing snow and the house is quiet :)
What a beautiful card!! I LOVE the inspiration I get here!! Right now, I am a weekend crafter. I get both of my grandkids every weekend, and I try to have a craft ready for us to do together. I am looking forward to using my Cricut more. I can't wait to try some of your projects. ~ Judy

Love the card. Like how you did it round and not the traditional shape. I love to scrap at night when it is quiet. When we go to weekend crops my friends and family all go to bed and I stay up to get the most work done. Susan
Love the card. I craft all day and into the night, my kids are all grown and my husband job takes him away monday through Thursday. So I get to craft all the time love it.

love your card, Joy!
evenings seem to be my best crafting time, IF the cat is outside! He just sits right where i'm working, usually on top of what i'm working on!
Love the card! TFS the cut files. I sometimes craft at midnight if I need to get something done, but I like to craft in the daytime because of the natural light.
Seriously cute card! I need to get that cartridge.

Great Christmas card. I'm a morning crafter for sure. Thanks
Beautiful card, love the shape and the JOY sentiment!
I'm a nightowl, so most of my creating goes on in the evening.
Ugh! Did you have d me that it is only 12 weeks away?? NO, I am not ready!!!! Looks like lots of late nights for me to get ready! I like to craft at night.
I definitely do my best crafting at night, on an evening I know I don't have to get up early in the morning so that I can craft as long as I want!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful card- I am so excited that Christmas is fast approaching!!!
Great card and I think I must need that cartridge. Thanks for sharing.
Lizann, Canada
My favorite crafting time is Saturday afternoon when the music is great and all the work is done.
What and elegant card Joy, love the papers and ribbon! As always you create such beatiful projects, TFS your ideas, files and for the chance to win!!!!!!
Have a lovely day!
Liz
I get the most crafting done while my older kids are at school and my little one is napping. Luckily she takes long naps. :) Love the card and the cartridge!
Sweet card, pretty papers and like the ribbon and button.
I am a afternoon cardmaker, that seems to be my best time!
JOYful creation. Like the new Teresa Collins cartridge and may have to hint to hubby to get it for me. I craft at different times of the day. Morning is best for me.

I am a night owl crafter, for some reason that's when I do my best work! :)
I am an around the clock crafter but my best crafting time is morning to mid-afternoon. That's when the creativity is flowing best.
Love the card. Very pretty. TFS
I love love love this card! So cute!
Great card! Those little branches that you added in the bow are a great little detail!
I tend to craft in the afternoon when my kids are taking their nap. However, I've been known to stay up laaaate into the night to finish a project. :)
Your card is super elegant.....LOVE IT!!!!!!and love the cartridge as well.I like to craft in the evening when my hubby watches his Netflix movies (he likes to find the scariest ones possible....not for me. Thanks again for your awesome inspiration. I don't know what I'd do without all your inspiration.
What a beautiful card! I would love to craft more than I actually do. I try to squeeze it in whenever I can.
Kim S. from N. California
beautiful card, Loving that cart,
I like to craft anytime but usually it does end up in the evenings, sometimes late.
GREAT card. I would LOVE to win the "B is for BOY" cart. I have a new grandson and want to make a special scrapbook for him. It's been 15 years since my last grandbaby was born and a lot has changed in the scrapbooking world. I need to be updated!
I have the Artiste cartridge now I have been having a ball exploring all the marvelous cut on it. Pirates would be fun to own. My daughter is nutso about them!
Beautiful
I work best right after lunch, when all the other work is done and I can concentrate on the fun stuff.
Another lovely Christmas card! I am totally lost in the mornings, definately a late night crafter. By far that is when I do my best work.
Love this card! I don't craft during the night time hour's.I useually do any crafting during the daytime.
This is one sleepy girl when the sun goes down, so no midnight crafting for me. I do my best work when the kiddo is at school.
Beautiful project once again. I love this cartridge.
I craft morning, noon and night, depending on the project and the time available!However the best time for me to craft is in the morning when the kids are at school.
My best crafting time is in the afternoon. But being retired - can craft whenever I feel the need. Love the project - too bad that I have already finished my Christmas cards this year. TFS
Truly a gorgeous card, thanks for showing us this cartridge, it's going on my Christmas list
Wow what a pretty card. I do beleive that I do my best crafting at night, when the house is quite and I can really get into crafting, but I work a lot so at night is the only time I really have to craft. Thanks for another great giveaway.
Since I am retired. The best time to craft is when a creative mental picture hit's my brain with some fantastic idea and I just have to run to the craft room and start gathering up supplies before sitting down to beging. I keep a little apartment size refridgerator in my craft room filled with beverages, nuts and dried fruit....just in case I'm there for a while!
Super cute card...could pass for an ornament also!! I usually do my crafting at night during the week because I work full time. On the weekends it seems I do about the same!! I feel like I need to get any housework done so that I can settle down & play without any distractions!!
I do all my crafting after midnight. I like to work when everyone is sleeping.
Beautiful card! Ordered TC Dec 25 cart a few days ago and I can't wait for it to arrive.
Yes, I do my best crafting in the wee hours of the morning!
lovely it just screams Christmas, I love round cards and that stripy ribbon is gorgeous!
I love your Christmas card...I don't have any holiday carts!
I craft whenever I get a minute to sit down...with two boys under 3, I have to either include them in the fun or distract them so I could get real work done.
I am a 50 year old woman who has recently went back to school to be a preschool teacher. I would like to win B is for Boys so that I could use it to decorate my calssroom. But more inportantly 2 years ago a miracle happened in my family my first grandson was born. I never thought my daughter could have kids so I was shocked. A miracle in itself. Baby Noah was in the Newborn Intensive care Unit for 12 days. I drove the 4 hours to get there and stayed by his side 24/7 for the entire 12 days. Some days no knowing if he would make it or not. Fast forward ahead... Today he is 2 he is the most awesome little guy ever. I have bought him nearly every toy that is on this cartridge so I have a ton of pictures that I have taken that are go with this cartridge. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this so I can use it to document this special little guy. In addition I would creating a classroom for many children who have fond memories of the items on this cartridge. So I ask PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PICK ME.....
I do lots of crafting between 1:00 and 4:00 a.m. Good way to handle insomnia. LOL!

Absolutely beautiful card! I love the papers/patterns you chose and I need that MS branch punch! It's amazing!
I have also crafted around the clock but I find that with any problem that needs solving I wake up with the solution so it really seems like I do my best creating in the morning, too!
i'm definitely a morning/afternoon crafter. i get too tired to craft at night and just make mistakes.
I love that cartridge and your card is awesome! I usually do most of my crafting after the kids are in bed, so yes.. I am many times a midnight crafter! That is the only time I have more than 5 minutes to myself!
I bought this digital cartridge yesterday Love it, thanks for sharing
upnurse at aol dot com
I love this card - so pretty!! I do my best crafting mid-afternoon and at night (during daughters nap and after she goes to bed)!
I do my best crafting late afternoon into late night. The early part of the day I'm getting organized & catching up w/my peeps!!
The wreath is so lovely in the card. Would be ideal to attach a child's photo in the center and hang on Christmas Tree. Your stamp set is adorable, esp. the list where you can write children's names on them and attach to a tag on gift! I love to craft late morning, after several cups of coffee.
Nice! Your blog is helping me learn how to use my new cricut. Sure do appreciate all you share! With two new grandsons the "B is for Boy" cartridge would be fun!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful "joy"ful card. Love it! Thanks also for the chance to win.
I am a total night owl so I usually get most things done at night - including shopping. It is really peaceful and my daughter and husband are usually sleeping which gives me the most time to get things done too.
Would love to win the cart I have 2 boys and lots of scapebooking to get caught up on. I do the most crafting on the weekend.
wow christmas already! love the projects. keep the ideas a coming. lol.
Definitely a Morning Gal, that is after 2 cups of Coffee!

Beautiful card! I cant believe people are already starting Chirstmas cards... I guess I better start soon too.
Forgot to say that I'm a late-night crafter, especially when my kids are in school again, because that's when the house is quiet and I can get things done. During the summer, though, I tend to get more done during the day because my kids don't have as many activities planned.
Beautiful card - love this circle card for Christmas - TFS!
I do my best crafting under pressure! The closer I get to a time deadline, the better I work! Thanks for a chance to win.
sueot33@yahoo.com
Most every nite u can find me crafting after 2 a.m.!!! Cant stop ...and always say just let me finish this last little bit !!! lol
This is the reason why I check my Everyday Cricut everyday. You crafts just make you want to start making cards and projects. Thanks for sharing.
I do my best crafting in the middle of the day. Sadly I'm never home during that time.
After work, after dinner, after dishes are done... So between 8-10pm is when I do my crafting on weekdays. Sunday afternoons are also a great time for me to carve out a chunk of happy crafty time!

I probably do my best crafting late at night although I would rather be a day or evening crafter. Great card and stamps.

I like creating early or after work. I don't do as well if I am tired.
Thanks for another beautiful card
Liove the card and your name fit in there perfectly! Whar a great cartridge. I also like the paper color choices you made.
I love the images on this cartridge! Although I have crafted at all hours, I seem to do my best work mid-morning....after I have had my coffee!

Beautiful card, I do my best crafting in the afternoon!
When i was younger i was a midnight scrapper but now i need my sleep. I do my best work in the early evening.
No, I am definately not a midnight crafter!!! I am totally a morning person. I go to work every day at 4:00am. By night I'm so ready for bed. Cute card!
Lovely card--I always love the cards you create. I do my best crafting in the morning after my 2 cups of coffee :).
I craft at all hours of the day when I'm home. However my best scrapping is done late in the evening just before bed. Hubby is watching TV and I'm relaxing by scrapping. LOVE IT!!!
Beautiful circle card, love the background pape with the musical notes.

Your Card is so Pretty! I am not a morning Crafter. I get Crafty in the Evening and late at night. So Excited for the chance to win! Thanks for the chance. :0)
I craft when I get inspired. I could never craft at night! I get droopy-eyed and super clumsy. I would probably cut my finger open or burn myself or start a fire or something.
I'm really falling in love with this Christmas cart though. It's going to have to go on my wish list.
I do my best crafting late at night or right before bed... I think it's the procrastinating part of me that dreads going to bed. Ha ha

What a lovely, simple elegant card. I love Theresa Collins and who doesn't love Christmas?
I love crafting at night when I don't have to rush out anywhere but lately Saturdays are my cant wait for the week to be over crafting day.
Beautiful! As always! But I can't help but think you may be biased to the 'Joy' cut.... Hmmm..... LOL
Love this card...the paper is fantastic but the card really does the most with it!
I'm a mid-day, all day crafter. My best work happens when I know I've got a lot of time (weekend crops rock it!) to spend on the details and don't feel rushed or distracted.
Thanks for the fun giveaway chances.
I craft whenever the boys are asleep, and I'm not too exhausted, LOL!
I craft best when I have open ended time.
Nifty card funlooking cart.
Wow, this is a great card, love the details and how easy it would be to become a special ornament to hang on, those lucky enough to receive one.
Great card! With a 7 month old I craft in 10 minute increments! But I used to do most of my work in the afternoons!
Ra6352 (at) gmail (dot) com
The only times I would craft that late would be when my husband is away or I am at a Scrapbook Retreat..which I have only been to one...but am looking forward to a second one this November!! I do better under pressure, though! Just got the Artisite cart and I can't wait to use it!!
I love to craft in the afternoon and even into the nighttime... when all chores are done.
GrannyBarbie
beautiful!, great cartridge
Love the card. I craft when I get the chance but usually at night.
Natalie W
I craft all sorts of hours...but mostly evening, but only when inspiration flows, or it will take FOREVER and I won't even like the result. Gorgeous Card! Trying it when the season rolls around! Thanks!
Beautiful Card Joy. I love the added touch of the green under the bow.

I'm in the Early Bird Club. Brew my cofffee, feed my birds and get crafty!

I usually craft while the kiddies are at school but do my best work and ideas when I should be in bed sleeping! LOL!! Thanks for sharing!!
What a cool card. My kids are grown and gone. So, my best time is when my husband is busy in his garage, and my work is done - well, mostly done. :)
What a pretty card and very " JOYfull." Thanks for sharing, God bless.
I have to find craft time while my children are at school or napping.....otherwise I can't finish anything. I'm way too tired to work on my projects after they go to bed for the night!
ffthere is never enough time in the day to craft....love this card...
