Happy Birthday Dad!

One of the best gifts I gave this year was my dad's birthday gift. Jeff came up with the idea of ordering him a "custom" cover featuring his car on a magazine. It was a great idea, however, the custom covers you create through online companies are less than "custom".... well, not what I was imagining anyway! I decided I would create my own cover which could include multiple images, several headlines and more. It turned out amazing.... better than I could have hoped for. I got quite a reaction from my dad, in addition to alot of requests for copies. I have definately added a new piece of work to my portfolio!

Merry Christmas!

So Christmas is a mere 10 days away.... can you believe it! I have actually had little time to post anything exciting as I have been working on Christmas stuff which cannot be revealed until after Christmas - obvious reasons, of course! Hopefully the creations I have made will be well received! For now, I will share with you my Christmas cards I made. The design, I love: it's fun, it's bright, it's bold.... I got them back from the printer on Saturday and to much of my dismay, I am rather disappointed. I had pricey ideas this year and had a hard time finding a decent price for printing my cards. I finally found a place in Canada which was a fourth of the price I could find anywhere else. They aren't bad except for the skin coloring of the pictures on the front, apparently, Canadian printers believe the color of skin should be hot pink. I think next year, I'll find a different printer. For those of you who will get a printed copy of the card, you may be amused when you see the difference.... I suppose you are your own worst critic, maybe they aren't as horrific as I think. In any case, the holiday season is upon us and I wish you all a safe and happy Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
