Holiday 2007 Projects

This holiday season I crunched a few fun projects into the busy schedule.

Wreath: I wanted to put together something cheery and sparkling for the front porch for the holiday season. I enjoyed working with less traditional/more funky colors. It was also fun to play with placing the different sizes of ornaments on the wreath.

Holiday Cards: I enjoy coming up with a new design challenge each year. This year I tasked myself with creating a snowglobe effect using transparent envelopes with glitter inside. I originally illustrated the vintage reindeer for a series of lottery tickets this past summer, but when the powers-that-be decided to go in a different direction and scrap the adorable creations, I decided that I would incorporate them into my holiday card design for 2007. I had fun adding dimention to the reindeer by applying foam tape to have them stand out. I also enjoyed adding gem embelishments and scalloping the edges of the cards.

Personalized Votives: I needed to put together a small, yet creative gift for the ladies in my bunco group. I put the finished creations in plastic bags, tied them with ribbon and put tags on them.

Gift Certificate Holders: These were made for gift certificates for my nieces and nephews as Christmas gifts.
