2012 Holiday Cards

I'm pretty pumped to show you my holiday collection today! I really love creating things for the Holiday season, because I get giddy about that fact that my little creations go flying through the postal service and send love to people all over.

Here are some closer looks at all of the cards:

 Merry Cat-mas

 Up on the Housetop

 Season's Greetings Wreath

 Season's Greetings

silent night

what's his face

beauty

 Before Haddie was born, my beauty regimen involved 5 steps, possibly even 6.

Nowadays, there are three easy steps to achieve my look.

mascara

lip balm

curl spray

repeat the next day.

I can't say that I really miss those other 3 steps anyways.

Minted Art Challenge

man. it has been a while since i've entered any of the design contests on Minted.com.

I'm pretty excited about the latest challenge.  It's all about modern art.  Simple, yet well designed.  Here are a couple that I am starting out with! I will keep you posted on when the voting begins :)

Old Me

 The other day, I came across my old flickr account and found these pictures of me.  Which really was only 5 years ago.  But I look so.very.young.  A lot can happen in 5 years, and a lot has happened.

I know that I am not that girl anymore.  But in a way, I know we're still the same.

holidays

The weather is getting cooler, and its pathetic to say, but I have been holed up in my house listening to holiday music to get me in the mood for some holiday illustrations. 

pretty soon, we'll all be humming jingle bells.

My fonts

Although I have been getting into hand lettering a lot more lately, I still use downloaded fonts all the time in my designs.  Finding a good font that you can trust in your work is like finding a good man, don't just settle for any old font. (Note: You probably shouldn't pick 6 good men, like I have picked 6 good fonts above) :)

So, without further ado, the list above are the fonts that I used on a regular basis.  Obviously there are others too, but these are the ones that appear the most.  Some are bought at a wee price and others are free, which is much more fun.

hope that these help you in creating what you want!

My little painter

Since I have recently been getting into painting, I thought that I should give Haddie the pleasure of doing so as well.  Just added some food coloring to yogurt, and voila... a little picasso. 

too fun, will definitely be doing it again.
