christmas in july (part two)

Hooray for Christmas in July! It's almost like I have to brainwash myself with thoughts of chilly winter air in order to brave the 100 degree temperatures of Tennessee. So in keeping with my air-conditioned delirium, I wanted to share two of my favorite cards from last year.

christmas in july (part one)

Anybody who knows me also knows that I am a complete winter holiday junkie. I love all things wintry and white and cannot wait to hear those sleigh bells a ring ting tingle-ing too. As I started the happy process of designing holiday cards this month, I was checking in with the US Post Office to see when they will be releasing the holiday stamps for 2011 (it's October for you early birds). Along with cinnamon in my morning coffee and Vince Guaraldi in my iTunes, these little guys get me in the designing mood. The colors are bright and and cheery this year and I especially love, love the Hanukkah stamp. Oh, the art of holiday correspondence...

oopsie daisies

Last year, I was humbled to be asked by Molly Risak, my former boss, great friend and all-around wonder woman, to design for her company Oopsie Daisies. Oopsie Daisies offers comfortable, modest and uplifting hospital apparel for children and adults.

From her site: "Each Oopsie Daisies gown is designed of 100% cotton knit jersey. Long sleeves with snap openings from the wrist to the neckline provide for the functionality of traditional gowns. Sizes are available for children (4T) through adult (XXL). The back of each gown is completely enclosed for additional warmth and modesty. 

The message conveyed on each Oopsie Daisies gown is the highlight and primary differentiator from traditional hospital gowns. Empowering patients (as well as anyone who encounters the patient) with encouraging and positive thoughts can provide the mental, emotional and spiritual energy to complement their medical treatment and propel them toward optimal health."

 

I am so proud and beyond excited to be involved with this innovated company. These designs definitely get placed in the “all time favorite projects” folder!

And a big thank you to Heather Wulfemeyer for the awesome photos.
