ABC Christmas Challenge - J & K

Time for another challenge over at the ABC Christmas Challenge, and our host is Dorte. This month the themes are -  

'J for Joy'
  and 
'K for Keep It Simple' 

Our sponsors this month are -

the prize is a £10 voucher

and

DigiStamp Boutique
the prize is a £10 voucher


There's also a prize from Dorte for another lucky winner.

I've combined both themes this month. I've recently realised I don't have any stamps with the word "Joy" on them, so as the image is from a CD (unusual for me) it was easy enough to add a sentiment onto it before printing.
Image - From 'The House-Mouse Triple CD Collection'
Sentiment - My own
Papers - Studio Light #69
