Christmas Card 2010

I've had a pretty busy winter thus far, but was thankfully able to set aside some time for one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Coming in right behind cookie making, comes Christmas card making.




I've been designing Christmas cards for my friends and family since highschool, but only recently have had the income to be able to afford professionally printed cards.
This year I got them printed at Moo and am pretty pleased with the results. The painting of the snowglobe was done a few months ago as part of a larger series of holiday-related items which I never ended up using. I snagged the snowglobe, found a vintage-y background and matched it with my favorite-font-of-the-week Campanile and off to the printshop it went.

The cards came about a week and half later and I was able to address them and send them out shortly thereafter. Normally Christmas is not this organized (and I know something will slip through the cracks before everything is over) but I am happy to have been able to at least successfully finish my Christmas cards.
