Slopes Thank You

 For: The Phillips
Occasion: Thank You

Sofi and Paul hosted us for an epic ski weekend earlier this month! To thank them for their hospitality, I created a mountain map with different lifts and green, blue, and black runs that spell out "Thank You"! I am so pleased with this card and had so much fun designing it. Can't wait to hit the slopes with the whole fam again next year!

Sleepy New Baby

 For: The Neals
Occasion: New Baby

Chas and Alexi welcomed baby Westley about a month ago -- to help welcome this bundle to the world, I drew a picture of him sleeping with the simple text, "welcome westley!" The Neals are amazing parents and I can't wait to hang with this little munchkin again soon!

Ice Cream Birthday

 For: Dan
Occasion: his birthday

My father-in-law is big fan of ice cream! To celebrate his birthday, I did a watercolor of a happy three-scoop cone that all together sings, "Happy Birthday!" I went with mint chocolate chip for the flavor and love how the colors fo this card all come together. I adore Dan and hope he has all the ice cream he wants today!

Cupcake Birthday

 For: Lila
Occasion: her birthday

To help the dear Lila celebrate her birthday, I painted her this delightful cupcake with a cherry on top! I love how whimsical this design is and the use of my white pen to help provide some details. Lila is so special to the Keane family--I hope she had an amazing birthday and is looking forward to the next year!

Vegas Birthday Sign

 For: Jeremy
Occasion: his birthday

For Jeremy's birthday, I took a colorful spin on the vibrant street signs one might see in Vegas! The letters read out "Happy birthday!" -- I really like how this card came out (look at that subtle shading to help it pop!) and hope Jeremy has a lovely day. 

Rooster Roller Skate Birthday

 For: Uncle Brian
Occasion: his birthday

Uncle Brian is a whimsical guy! For his birthday card this year, I did a silly drawing of a rooster wearing roller skates, goofy glasses, and wearing a party hat! I really love the playful quality of this card and hope it added to the fun of Uncle Bri's big day!

Shelf Birthday

 For: Chas
Occasion: his birthday

Chas spent some time this year figuring out how to make his own awesome shelf, so for his birthday card I created a sweet illustration of how to install an awesome shelf such as his with a cake on top! I thought this design so clever and hope he enjoyed it as much as I did!

Owl Birthday

 For: Jen
Occasion: her birthday

To help Jen celebrate her birthday, I created a cute little illustration of an owl with a party hat on! Jen loves owls, so I knew I was going to owl it up this year to help her celebrate the big day. Jen is such a fun friend and I hope she has the best year!

Get Well Soon Cat

 For: Theresa
Occasion: Get Well Soon

To help speed up Theresa's recovery, I did a gouache painting of a cat in a cone with a bandage on its leg. There's a few rats in the foreground to tie in the "Aw, Rats!" text. I hope she's doing okay and will back at 'em soon!

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!

Ski Gear Valentine

 For: Mike
Occasion: Valentine's Day

For Mike's valentine this year, I featured our ski gear in the shape of XOXO! Mike helped me buy my new skis that have really launched me into another level, and so I found a way to fit them in! The Os are his and hers gray and silver helmets. We have had tons of fun skiing so far this year and are hoping for many more delightful ski days!
