Rubbernecker Stamps Christmas Tree Card

Good morning! Christmas is almost here! I am working like a crazy women to get some homemade gifts done for my family. 

Had to take some time out for a little coloring R&R =) 

This gorgeous Christmas Tree and Magic of the Season stamps are from Rubbernecker Stamps. 

After I colored the Christmas Tree with Copic markers, I added little dots with a white gel pen for snow. The tree reminds me of a tree that is along the highway here in Alaska. The tree is in the middle of what we call Hay Flats. It is a single tree standing alone. Every year, in December, the tree is decorated with lights by someone in the community. The decorator wants/wanted to remain anonymous. If I remember correctly, someone found out who he was and they ended up doing an article about it in the paper. Anyways, every time I see this tree it brings a huge smile to my face. To me, this is what Christmas is about. Loving your neighbor and spreading cheer however you can. This one man brings cheer to thousands of people every year by doing something as simple as putting lights on a tree along the highway. 

What if we all tried to do something simple to spread a little bit of cheer every day? We may not affect thousands, but we could change one persons day. Brighten on persons Christmas Season. 

The Church I belong to is doing 25 days of Service. Join us in spreading cheer this season. Do something to help someone everyday for the rest of the month. It doesn't have to be something huge. It can be as simple as giving someone a shoulder to lean on or a listening ear. We can all do service of some sort. 

One of the service projects that my kids and I are doing along with a few church friends, is volunteering at the Special Santa's Workshop. It's a program here that shops and fills wish lists for local families in need. It's an amazing program. They help thousands of kids every year. Volunteering there is something we look forward to every year. 

I'd love to hear how you've brightened someones Christmas. Come back and tell me all about your service! Also, hop on over to the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog to see what the rest of the DT came up with for Sweet Sunday Team Inspiration.

Merry Christmoose with Rubbernecker Stamps

Good morning! It is Sweet Sunday Team Inspiration over on the Rubbernecker Blog. I chose to do a Christmas card for inspiration. 

I used the adorable Moose with Lights 72-06 Stamp. I absolutely adore this stamp! 

I colored it up with Copic markers. It almost looks like the lights are really on. 

I have been learning new techniques in the coloring groups that I am in. It's amazing how many talented colorists there are. 

The Moose with Lights 72-06 stamps also has a die that you can purchase. Here is the link...

May Your Christmas Be Merry and Bright - With The Cutting Cafe

Good morning! We are focusing on Christmas this week at The Cutting Cafe. 

I used a couple of different files to make this card. The Christmas Tree Trio Shaped Card and the

Snow Flake Shaped Card

The sentiment is one that comes with the Christmas Tree Trio Shaped Card file. 

I used the individual trees from the Christmas Tree Trio Shaped Card to create a little forest. Each tree was cut out with my Cricut Maker, inked with gathered twigs distress ink and then sprinkled with dry embossing powder. 

The white dry embossing powder is a great addition to any project you would like snow on. 

I made the snowflakes from the Snow Flake Shaped Card. Each snowflake is less than an inch big and was cut out with the Cricut Maker. They cut out perfectly.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you will stop by The Cutting Cafe Blog to see what the other design team members made. If you leave a comment on the inspirational post, you will be entered in a chance to win three free files of your choice. 

Have a craftastic day! See you again soon =)

Hugs,
