Happy Holidays!

Just a quick post to wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

My studio will be closed for the holidays, followed by another brief maternity leave. That's right, my wonderful husband and I are expecting another little bundle of joy! Small age gap intended... and we are all super excited! =)

I will be back in the studio on March 1, 2012.

Thank you all for following my blog, even through this slow blogging year. I will definitely try to post more in 2012. In the meantime, have a fun, safe holiday season!

Look What's New!

So here I am at the end of December and I'm wondering Where the heck did my year go?! My maternity leave ended around Valentine's Day and I have been keeping so busy  it still feels like February, just with a busy baby, too many candy canes and a bunch of gifts under the tree (let's just say I take toy shopping very seriously).

Overall I accomplished a lot this year. I've worked on several large projects. The most recent project I finished is a children's book for a wonderful new client who came to me with the sweetest manuscript! These illustrations turned out so colorful and cute I just had to share a few:

My favorite projects involve drawing animals. They are just too cute! This project was so colorful, too. The kids couldn't stop staring at the screen as I worked on these. =)

Illustration Friday: Separated

The newlywed honeybees can not be separated! =)

This is a cute little card design I created for general romantic occasions, Valentine's Day and Anniversaries. The receiver is usually an adult, but apparently lots of adults also appreciate cute and cuddly!

Thanks for dropping by. Have a great weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm sorry I have neglected my poor little blog lately! I have been so extremely busy with projects, my family and the upcoming holidays! I wanted to wish everyone who celebrates a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! I hope you spend lots of time with family and enjoy your holiday meals. =) I will definitely try to post updates more often as I finish up my current projects and prepare for my little Christmas break!

With Christmas right around the corner, and the biggest shopping day of the year tomorrow, I'd like to invite you to check out my online greeting card store. If you stock up on cards this Black Friday, you can get them for $1.49 each, which is 50% off (Use code BlackFriday2011). Fantastic quality, and last I checked, printed right here in the USA!

IF: Swell

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Swell". Your tummy will swell if you stuff it with popcorn. It will also look bad if the popcorn is stolen.

It might make up for it if you're a super cute raccoon who can't help himself, though. =)

Thanks for dropping by today! Have a swell weekend.

Happy Memorial Day!

Just a quick post to wish everyone a safe & happy Memorial Day! We're enjoying burgers, fries, time with the kids and hot weather in our sunny corner of Alaska.
