I carved this pumpkin for my son's Halloween Dance at school. I was thrilled with how it turned out. I found this awesome website,
http://www.zombiepumpkins.com/
that has amazing pumpkin carving patterns!

Dare I post this? Maybe I should have waited until December....
but I loved the quote, and had to make some ATC's for a swap coming up....
I liked the colour combination as well - I thought the blues gave a nice "icy" feel to the card.

Something for Everyday Matters....Halloween...
Using one of my favourite colour combinations!
I did this in a Moleskine sketchbook - it took my marker ink quite nicely.

This is the drawing that I did for Illustration Friday. Not really something I want to think about - especially with a possibility of snow overnight in our Alberta weather forecast! However, the snowman seemed so appropriate - I guess I could have drawn a popsicle...oh well! If I wake up to a winter wonderland, I am blaming Illustration Friday!
