Holiday Cards 2008

This year, as every year, I spent the better part of my November and December sketching cartoons of families for customized holiday cards. It’s a festive way to spend the months preceding the big day. It gets me in the spirit. But it was also nice this year to have two non-holiday card orders as well.

The art at left was created for beautiful baby Mallory. Mallory is a magnet for gifts and her mama needs a special way to send thankful correspondence. Since clapping is baby’s particular talent, I thought this layout was fitting.

Mallory’s mom also ordered a similar card set to give to her own sister as a gift; a thank-you card featuring all three of her sons with corresponding check boxes so the lucky card recipients will easily see who is offering thanks.
