Merry Christmas 2018!

This year I really wanted to do something woodsy and simple but with character for my Christmas card.  I found myself singing 'Joy to the World' and thought 'Let Heaven and nature sing' was a beautiful line.  Creation and nature rejoiced along with Heaven at the birth of the savior of the world!

FRONT; watercolor painted and digital

The Psalm I printed on the back describes nature joyfully praising God.  I thought it fit well with the imagery and theme.

Merry Christmas!

Minted.com put out another Baby Shower Invitation Challange and I felt compelled to submit the dinosaur invitation that I made for my friend Shery's shower.  I also had the time to make a new invitation using the lumberjack theme and elements I had designed for my nephew's first birthday last month.

Voting is now open, until March 13th (my birthday, btw)

I would be so grateful if you voted for my baby shower designs, it will help my designs get picked by the judging committee, so they will sell on Minted.com!

First Lumberjack Bash!

I am so in love with my adorable, smiley nephew, Nicholas, who turned one this week!  My sister and I decided on a buffalo plaid, lumberjack theme for his first birthday party.

After designing and ordering invitations, I created art for the signs and stickers for the favor bags. 

For the Trail mix bar, I used candy bar containers from Party City, and the wood cross-cut rounds from Michaels. Custom labels designed for the candy, nuts, popcorn and fruit, which were ordered from Nuts.com

Stickers were printed from Uprinting.com

Instagram Sign!

 I made a hand-drawn chalkboard sign for the occasion as well!

One of my favorite things at first birthday are the month-to-month photo banners!  I made a baby Nicholas banner to hang at eye level for guests to look at as they walk in. I bought black clothes pins at Michaels.

Finally, I designed a face cut-out photo booth board for silly selfies.  I attached a felt mustache and beard over the face cut-out for a more realistic effect.

This baby has a proud Auntie.  Happy first Birthday, Nicholas!
