Illustration Friday - Red

I have been so MIA from my blog...how I've missed it :)

So here is my entry for this week's topic, Red...I know it's not quite Valentine's Day yet, but I have love on the brain :) My friend Jennie is getting married on Saturday, so that got me in the mood for hearts :) I think I might turn this into a card...

More Christmas Cards!

Finally got my christmas cards all done, and mailed out today! It's so much work, or at least it seems like it when you wait until the last minute...seriously next year, I'm making them in January! :)
