New Job Road

 For: The Twin
Occasion: New Job

Twin got a new job too, and since her work involves map-making, I made a road to be the primary image! The text reads, "You're going places! (And mapping the way!) Congrats!"

So proud of tiny twin and hoping the new gig is incredible!

New Job Signs

 For: Nathan
Occasion: New Job

Nathan Curry got a new job, so to help him celebrate the transition, I made this simple card of some hands holding signs among some delightful confetti. Brother Bear is the smartest guy I know and I wish him well in this transition!

Fancy Job Congrats

 For: Jennifer
Occasion: Congratulations

Jen got a promotion, and to help celebrate, I made this wonderfully inappropriate card for her! The idea came to me, I laughed, and then had to make it for her. I am glad she loved it and can't wait to hear all about how she tackles this new role!

Nu Job

 For: Nathan
Occasion: New Job

Brother bear got a new job! It's a big deal and a big change, so to celebrate I adapted the new company's logo to wish him "Congrats on the New Job!" I am so excited for Nathan and hope this new gig is a great fit and lots of fun. 

Yay! New Job

 For: Lily
Occasion: New Job

Lily got a new job! To celebrate this next wonderful step in her career, I did a drawing of two brightly colored pennants that read "Yay!" and "Lily!" It was such a treat working with Lily over these years and I hope she has unimaginable success in her new gig!

Chuffed Congratulations

For: Sandie
Occasion: New Job

My boss got a new job! I will miss her dearly, but honestly I am chuffed to bits that she gets to go have a new opportunity. I am not clear exactly on what chuffed to bits means, but I figured some confetti and bright colors would do the trick! I cannot wait to hear about how the next chapter unfolds. 

New Job Bunny

For: Shylee
Occasion: Congratulations

Shylee got a new job, and though we are sad to lose her, I am happy that she's excited about her next steps! To help celebrate, I created an illustration of the flopsiest angora rabbit I could muster. Shylee has a whole host of angora rabbits that she raises and uses their wool for fiber crafts! How cool is that? Here's hopping Shylee's future is bright!

On a Roll Congrats

For: Elly
Occasion: Graduation/New Job

Elly is CRUSHING it lately, so to celebrate the impressive duo of graduating from college and getting a job for next year, I created an illustration of her standing on a sweet roll (like you do) combined with the text "You're on a roll!" Which she is, in the literal sense of the card and the idiom as applied to her life. I'm so proud of Ells and can't wait to hear how St. Louis treats her in the fall. 

Shadow Cat New Job

For: Katelyn
Occasion: New Job

Katelyn got a new job as the director of social services at a nursing home! She was the best officemate I ever could have hoped for, and I wish her all the best in her new gig. To send her off to the new position, I created a watercolor of Katelyn, looking all director-ly, with a cat shadow behind her. "Shadow cat" became a joke in our office during our last few days together, and I wanted to pay homage to all the good times we've had together.

I miss her already and can't wait to see her again soon!

Congratulations Star

For: Beth
Occasion: New Job

My friend and coworker, Beth, got a new job! She is a really wonderful person and has so much talent, so I created this congratulations card with a big bright star on it. Beth ran lots of art groups at our job, so I used some painters tape techniques to give the star a neat look.

I love Beth and know she will do very well at her new gig. I can't wait for our get-togethers where we can chat about our new jobs!

Well Wishes Hair

For: Laura
Occasion: Good Luck

Laura is moving to New York to start a new adventure, and I wanted to send her off with a card. I created this watercolor featuring her beautiful hair with some messages drawn in: "Take chances," "Live with intention," "Love freely," and "Be yourself." Laura has been such a blessing, and I will really miss her. I wish her well on these next steps!

New Job Cards

Two good friends have recently found new jobs in the mountains. Here are the cards I made to help celebrate!

For: Sofi
Occasion: New Job

Sofi is a hand therapist who recently accepted a new job in Vail! This card features a celebratory watercolor high five.
I am definitely going to miss having her in Denver, but plan to make many trips up to see her.

For: Amanda
Occasion: New Job

Amanda took a job up in Breckenridge where she'll get to be in the mountains all day! I created this cute watercolor depiction of Breck with a "Congratulations On Your Next Steps" banner floating in the air.
I'm going to miss Amanda a lot, but am so proud of her for embarking on this journey!
