I was inspired by all 4 photos, but especially the lower right one, and here's what I came up with...
I started by die cutting my truck using Spellbinder's Truckin' Through The Seasons die set and then adding ink to the edges to give the truck a bit of an aged appearance. The tree and the NOEL sentiment are all part of the die set.
I used SSS's Forrest Border 3D embossing folder for my background and then finished with some WOS on the tree in the truck and 2 Cardinals from PTI's In The Meadow die set (an oldie but a goodie that I use every Winter!!). I was going to add a deer, but with the truck being larger, it just didn't fit size wise, so I added it to the inside of the card.
Besides the great mood board, there's lots of awesome inspiration for you from the DT, so if you need to finish up your Christmas cards (OR get started!), this challenge is a great place to start! You can check it all out right HERE. This challenge is open till Thursday, November 2nd @ 8:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

You have the perfect die for this moodboard, Marcia! The embossed background is perfect to show the path to the tree lot! Fabulous card, my friend!
Perfect die for the challenge, Marcia. I love the cardinals in the trees in the background.
I love your spiffy red pick-em-up truck, Marcia - think they'd trade for that Suburu?? ha!
I love it and thanks for reminding me of that gorgeous embossing folder - a beautiful start to a wonderful card!

My late mother-in-law always said that pick up trucks should be red! Yours is as cute as it can be. This is a delightful take on the challenge, Marcia!
What a homey card, it brings memories of growing up and cutting down our own live trees -- wonderful card!

Hi Marcia. It's taking me a long time to get around to visiting blogs... slowly but surely. I've got quite a few of your posts saved to look at today. You know how I love everything you create. I have this truck set but have not yet used it for Christmas. I love it on the tree embossed background.
