Mother's Day Cards 2011

Yess!!!!!

Took me a whole year to update this blog and here it is!

This year's mother's day cards I made for my mom and mother in law.

I kept them the same this year, just changed the wording according to the person.

Since then, I have had another beautiful child Juliana who is 8 months old right now.

That is who is pictured/drawn with my son Hunter (2-1/2).

Happy Mother's Day! 2010 Cards

Here are the latest cards I made:



The first one was for my mom.
Hunter's new/old favorite thing to do: Go on the swing outside the house.
He used to love it at one point, then was scared of it, now all of a sudden, its all he wants to do!

("Vovo" means Grandma in portuguese.)

The second one is for my mother in law.
She has been helping me paint the walls of our living/dining area. Of course, Hunter didn't really help out....but I'm sure if he had the chance, he would have had lots of fun getting paint everywhere except for the walls!

("Memere" means grandma in french.)

Both cards done in ink and color pencil on paper.

Fairy Chessmore

My latest art project. A present for my friend Aimee. She is having her second little girl and her room theme was butterflies.
So I came up with the fairy idea for a fun whimsical drawing to go in a girls room.
She actually looks like Aimee's older daughter!
Sketched in pencil, scanned and drawn & painted in Photoshop.

Melissa's Surprise Baby shower card 09

This latest card was made for my friend Melissa who will be having her second baby in less than a month! She is due on November 2nd.
I wanted this card to be light and simple.
Done in ink and colored pencils.

My latest greeting cards

Its been a while since I've posted anything. Its been a busy couple of months!
Since then I have created a couple of birthday cards and father's day cards.

My friends Laura's birthday card
my inspiration: she loves pijamas!



My sister-in-law Bia
inspiration: she loves to make clothes
and future fashion designer!



My husbands dad day card (his first I might add)
inspiration: Hunter and the ocean.



My dad's dad day card
inspiration: loves to bike ride and take pictures (of everything)
side note: everytime I draw my dad, he always has an afro and giant glasses which is inspired
by old pictures of him when he was in his 20's. I can't seem to draw him any other way.
Oh and lets not forget those short shorts and the high socks that totally ROCK! lets say no more!

Mother's Day Cards 2009

Here are the mother's day cards I created for my mom and my mother in law



My mom loves to read my son Hunter (her first grandchild) books.

I had a great time coming up with these cards!
