La-La Land Crafts December 2019 Club Kit Release

Good morning! Today is the release day for the December 2019 La-La Land Crafts Club Kit. I am super excited to be guest designing for Monthly Club Kits for the next couple of months. 

The kit this month is one of my favorites. It's a subject that no one wants to know about yet every one of us has been touched by in some way.

CANCER

With this kit, we can encourage and uplift our friends and family who may be going through chemo and other trials. 

The name of this months Marci is Courage Marci

I'm Here For You.

The names of the die cuts are:

Hope Heart

Awareness Ribbon

Stitched Fight

The Set is valued at 77.99! But you can get it for $39.99! If you just want this month's stamps, you can get them for $19.99. Just the dies...$29.99. To ensure you get this month's kit you must make your purchase by December 25th. If you decide to sign up after that, you will get the kit for the following month.

The boxing gloves on this card are from Marci. I colored the gloves and then fussy cut them. I then colored the bottom part of Marci's legs and made them into cuffs for the gloves. 

It's amazing how much the simple act of sending a card can uplift a person's spirits. 

There is a wonderful program called CHEMO ANGELS that I have been a part of for several years. People who are going through chemo apply and are then set up with a volunteer or "Chemo Angel" who sends them cards and gifts. There are a few different kinds of "Angels." You can decide for yourself which one is fitting for you and send in your volunteer application. 

Being a Chemo Angel has been a great experience for me. If you are looking for different ways to serve your fellow men, I highly recommend being a Chemo Angel.  

To color the images, I used Copic markers. You will find the coloring details and product links below.

La-La Land Crafts Let It Snow

Hi there! Only 16 days until Christmas! Are you ready? I'm not. I never am. Hahaha

I am always so excited for the Christmas season. Every year during this time we try to do more service as a family. We often volunteer at the May-Su Special Santa Program here in the Valley. What I love most about this program is that it is for the families right here where we live. Last year they were able to help 3500 kids. That’s amazing! On Saturday my two younger girls and I volunteered for four hours. It’s actually a lot of fun. It’s like shopping but you don’t have to spend any money. You pick out gifts for a child and then they are put aside until the family can come pick them up. 

We also volunteer every year on Christmas Day at the community Friendship Dinner. We usually help clear tables, poor coffee and water and just talk to people. Serving Christ’s children on His day is so good for the soul. 

On to today’s card!! Today is my day to post on the La-La Land Crafts Blog. I decided to go with an image that we colored at the October 2019 Copic Boot Camp. I love the scenery! Winter Molli looks like she is in Alaska. 

  

Notice the white sun. The sun often looks white here, during the winter as it peeks through the fog and the clouds. 

To give the effect of falling snow, I used the Snowy Hills Layering Stencil art. The one with the dots looks like snow. I placed the stencil over Marci and used a chalk crayon for the snow. 

What are some of your favorite Holiday traditions? I am interested in how other families celebrate this time of year.
