I wanted to send a fun card for one of my oldest & dearest friends, E, on her Birthday this past November. For some reason 'pirates!' came to mind, so I did a sketch of her, her hubby & little baby B as the Dread Pirate Bratcher Family.

My goal for the past few Holiday seasons has also been to send out my own handcrafted holiday cards. Originally I wanted to make a few and send out a variety of cards, but I only had time for two.
My boyfriend was pretty excited about this and asked if he could give me the design idea for one of the cards & then I could mock it up. First came the sketches...

SANTA FIGHTING ZOMBIE INVASION! The left side are a few of my interpretations of his idea (rockin' Santa head there on the bottom right is his), and then on the right is basically all him (minus the Santa & buxom babe on the top right that I drew.) We had a lot of fun discussing this card. And then here's the final version:

Last but not least, my other Christmas card that features Santa & a near-sighted little French Bulldog:
