Joy to the World

I was wanting to make a card for the Merry Monday challenge with holly, but I didn't get it done in time.  I had to go to a birthday party for my Dad who turned 70 earlier in the week.  It was a wonderful time with many of my relatives....and card making came second.  That's OK, because there are plenty of other challenges I can use this for.  I found this wonderful holly that I had as a freebie from Miss Rach (she has weekly freebies - and had several this past week).  I used my new Spellbinder die cut, which I just got.  I embossed the sentiment, which is an actual stamp and not a digi.
