Trick or Treat Halloween

 For: Adam and Owen
Occasion: Halloween

To help my dear nephews celebrate the candiest of all the holidays, I drew some candies (with metallic wrappers) that read "Trick or Treat". I love how this card turned out and cannot wait to hear all about the candy they collect in their epic costumes! A safe and happy Halloween to all!

Halloween Eyes

 For: Adam and Owen
Occasion: Halloween

For Adam and Owen's Halloween card this year, I fit in as many spooky eyes as I could! Every letter of "Happy Halloween" has a pair (and it's laid out in a Jack-o-lantern shape) along with a handful of other watching creatures. I hear they counted the total number of eyes, which delights me to no end -- Auntie Twin loves educational cards! Here's hoping the little nephs have the best day ever!

Jack-o-nephews Halloween

 For: Owen and Adam
Occasion: Halloween

Owen and Adam have been in the Halloween spirit for a good long time! To help them celebrate the holiday finally arriving, I did a watercolor of the dynamic duo as jack-o-lanterns! Owen's pumpkin's lid is a little darker and has straight hair, where Adam's is a little lighter and curly. I put them on a green paper background, added some shadows and then a whole lot of stars! I love this card, I love my nephs, and I love "cute" Halloween, too!

Boo Halloween

For: My nephews
Occasion: Halloween

To help Adam and Owen celebrate a spooky and fun Halloween, I did a drawing of two cutie ghosts floating so that their eyes are the Os in a big creepy "Boooo!" I adore my little buds and hope they had the very best celebration!

 

Halloween Bananas

For: Uncle Jer and Aunt Kat
Occasion: Halloween

Uncle Jer and Aunt Kat throw the best Halloween parties, and since they have such a penchant for the holiday, I figured I'd make them a card! Taking group costume to a whole new level, this bunch of bananas is ready for anything, moving forwards and coordinated as a group. I miss them both so much and can't wait for Thanksgiving/Wedding festivities coming up!

Creepy Twin Card

For: The Creepy Twin
Occasion: Halloween

I've never actually seen The Shining, but I love the scary twin concept. Because, who are we kidding, twins are kinda weird. For The Twin's Halloween card, I created a watercolor sketch of me and my creepy twin, doin' what we do.

I miss her so much and hope she finally decides to dress as me this year.

Halloween Letters

For: the fam
Occasion: Halloween

Got to play with some fun lettering that I'd seen online for this card--and I think it turned out awesome! I miss my scary family, and I hope they have a good time handing out candy to the little Lombard monsters and ballerinas and refrigerators.

Halloween Heart

For: Uncle Jer and Aunt Kat
Occasion: Halloween

Uncle Jer and Aunt Kat throw the best Halloween party imaginable, and I am bummed to miss it again! I wanted to let them know that I'd be there in spirit, so I created this creepy card as a stand-in. The text reads, "my heart is with you" and the sketch is of a heart in a jar and a totally creeped out jack-o-lantern. A cool feature to this card is the crumpled card stock, for some added texture.

I can't wait to see pics and hear stories from this year's festivities!
