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.<br />
<br />
Voting is now open, until March 13th (my birthday, btw)<br />
<br />
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! <br />

While brainstorming what I might want to do for my illustrated Christmas card this year, I found myself thinking a lot about, the Christmas movie, Elf. I also love illustrated maps because they are so whimsical and fun. So, my Christmas card illustration for 2016 is in homage to Buddy-the-Elf's voyage to New York City from the North Pole.<br />

I printed through vistaprint.com and got the linen finish postcards, which I love. I went for the custom envelopes with my return postage design printed on the front and a row of 'swirly twirly gum drops' along the top of the back.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This baby shower was for dear friends, Shery and Andrew, expecting a boy in December. After giving them a lot of typical baby shower theme ideas, Shery and Andrew picked a theme that I had not presented them; dinosaurs! I started with the invitation!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hsu5URQr7dc/WAQeS_VBFcI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/zeUwZFRXtrgv6cTJ2F_nO3OzLTlfrVFUwCEw/s1600/Sherry%2527s-baby-Shower-dino3-5x7_invitation_card_419-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hsu5URQr7dc/WAQeS_VBFcI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/zeUwZFRXtrgv6cTJ2F_nO3OzLTlfrVFUwCEw/s640/Sherry%2527s-baby-Shower-dino3-5x7_invitation_card_419-1.jpg" width="456" /></a></div>
Here I designed a backdrop poster to frame the gorgeous cake designed
by our friend, Jim DeGregorio of Ice Custom Cakes in Mamaroneck. I
added pinwheels and balloons to frame the backdrop. We offered small
candy buffet and dinosaur shape cookies. I designed the 'Welcome BABY'
banner and printed on kraft. <br />

I just came back from a baby shower that I designed for my good friends, Shery and Andrew. They requested a blue dinosaur theme baby shower for their boy who arrives in December. A Minted.com submission challenge for Classroom Valentine's came up and I used the chance to apply the same dinosaur illustrations for the Valentine cards submissions. Voting begins October 17, so please vote for my designs so that they will sell them on Minted.com. Thanks for voting!<br />

My sister and my brother-in-law are expecting a boy (I'm going to be an aunt!) and I was so happy to design a baby shower for the occasion. For this, I decided to go with navy, yellow and blue with kraft/ burlap accents. An elephant, giraffe and lion were featured on the signs and the banners. I designed an elephant guest sign-in art print framed for their nursery and a hand drawn chalkboard welcome sign as well.<br />

Dots, stripes and whales in a cool color scheme was the theme of Tommy's first birthday party! I designed an invitation, a pennant banner, and a month-by-month whale photo garland for the occasion. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mommy, Sara, hosted the party. She got all the photo's printed, round-punched all the corners and attached them to the whale garland! She and Jon also made all the delicious food and drink. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I designed the garlands to match the tableware and decorations from Party City. The 'Cool Dots' plate was mixed and matched with the royal blue dot and royal stripe napkin. I purchased 3 colors of the solid pennants at Party City and then strung them together for a tri-color solid banner to hang throughout the house. Mini hanging fans are a great way to hide the messiness of hooks and tape at the ends of garlands. <br />
