A little slow-down

After the rush I had over the past couple of weeks, I'm welcoming a bit of time without deadlines and such to work on some new stuff. I've been mulling over some ideas for custom holiday card design for awhile now... and having some time to plop down in front of the old computer and do some photoshop "doodling" has been nice. I've gotten a few templates done for photo cards, but I'll wait to list those until fall because few people are going to have Christmas card pictures ready yet! But I have gone ahead and listed a custom snowman family design.

For my daughter's first Christmas, I designed some cute return address labels for our holiday greetings... a little snowman family with a mom, dad, and baby girl. I have been thinking about expanding the design into a sort of mix-and-match for cards for awhile now, but hadn't had the time to sit down and actually create the illustrations. The actual card designs might get a facelift or two before the holidays actually roll around, and I'll at least certainly be adding another option or two for background, but overall I'm happy with the way they've turned out. I think its a cute way to personalize your card without necessarily having an actual photo.

I guess we'll see what the people think as the holidays get closer and orders either come in or they don't... :-)
