Stamp With Shel Monday- International Project Highlights- Joy of Noel

 

Today I am participating in Kylie's International Project Highlights.  Our theme is Thank You. Here is my card: 

This card was a real challenge for me because I promised I would use a featured bundle for every card I created this week.  That bundle was the Joy of Noel shown here: 

Since this was most definitely a Christmas bundle; the challenge was figuring out how to make this into a thank-you card....I had a lightbulb moment and decided to change up the colors and use a Thank You greeting ....I think it worked!
