Ho Ho Ho and a Merry to Ya!

Really enjoyed doing this Christmas cupcake shoot. This year it's silver and white with pearls.

And she's off with the cupcake kingdom products. Working on Christmas, being November already! Where does the year go, honestly?!

The Downward Tinsel Spiral

That's right, folks. August kicks off this weekend. Frightening stuff, huh? I'm ashamed to admit that I missed not only this year's Christmas deadline for greeting card design, but Mother's and Father's Day, too (sheepish stance with accompanying blush). Think about it...in roughly three months, Christmas cards get shelf space in your local product flogger and today I think I dreaded the season. Y'know it's gonna be all green and red and gold before you can spell "Christmas bonus". Is it just me getting on in years and feeling the days, weeks and months slip by quicker? Anyone else feeling the wind and spluttering sand particles as we're left in the dust here?

Early Christmas

Here's a greeting card I did for a law firm...

Sad Christmas 2008

Here's one of this year's rejects for my Christmas 2008 greeting card range. Without the fonted wording, of course. Interesting thing I was told by the art controller - they don't want photoshopped designs that can be churned out by their own designers without using much time or creativity. They want authentic, original looking artwork that's worth paying for. S'wot I've always thought, really. Funny how some clients love Photoshop and others just never will, huh? (personally, I just do it for the cash if I have to but I'm an old-school, hands on girl all the way)
