Wishing everyone a magical and Merry Christmas! I love being able to share my artwork with the world through this blog and I appreciate every single person who comes here to take a look. A few posts back I shared the top illustration, which was done as the main image for my family (ie. my husband and our menagerie of pets) Christmas card. I said I would share the final printed version, which I got from Overnight Prints. They turned out very nice with wonderful colors and great quality.

I didn't have time to make handmade cards this year due to my current illustration workload. (which I am really grateful for!) I decided to do an illustration and have some cards printed professionally and mailed to me. I am running a little behind this year, but I have always had good luck with Overnight Prints in terms of quality and speed of delivery. I thought it would be fun to have our whole family (which consists of several furbabies!) Photoshopped into a gingerbread wonderland! I love that the pictures are totally not to scale in relationship to each other. It's probably pretty accurate if we were measuring personality! I'll make sure to post some pictures of the printed cards when they come in the mail. I'm really looking forward to seeing them!
