Celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary today!

Snow Angel

My cat, Angel, in the snow. Tweaked the photo a bit in Photoshop.

Cards

Each time we go visit my parents, my mom and I can't help playing around with her Cricut (gift from the family) and making cards.

Watercolor class

My mom and I took a 3 hour watercolor class this morning from Gayle Jones. It was quite enjoyable (and stress-free,  as the image was given to us pre-drawn on our Arches paper). I thought we did all right for a first try! It was a step-by-step instruction class, so mostly to see how the paint behaves.

T-Shirt Design

Timber Ridge Camp, a youth summer camp, asked me to design a t-shirt based on a tree and lungs.

I had a lot of fun with this one.

I decided to make a few variations:

Making Cards

My mom and I like to get together every so often to make cards; usually around Christmastime, but we decided to make some for my husband's and dad's birthdays, as well as some for mother's day.
It's always fun and pretty addicting.

Here are some of my mom's:

Valentine Banquet Poster

Chapel West Church wanted a poster to announce their Valentines Banquet.

Illustration Friday: Dusty

I didn't have a lot of ideas on portraying "dust," so I typed it into Google and I got Dusty Springfield...(whose song, "I only wanna be with you," I've secretly loved since forever!).

So, here she is, with her iconic peroxide beehive and raccoon-eyes.
