jingle belles and Merry Monday

My third (and maybe last) post of the day.  I couldn't think of a cool title (not that my others are) so I just went with the challenge names. :)   I guess I could have said "Christmas in April" ??   Oh well, at least by now I hope you've realized that this is a Christmas card post. 

And after my whining earlier about things not coming together, this card came together really quickly and was just what I wanted.  Except for having to trim my Nestie shadow.  If you look closely you can see it, so don't look too closely, please! :)

Challenges...
