Christmas cards


After a while trying to get my first christmas cards ...
Here they are!!! I designed this dolly ages ago thinking about christmas...
So once I had to choose which ilustration to use, it was easy to decide.

 I hope you like them enough to get some to share with your friends and family...
They will be soon at my etsy shop. To ask for more details, please contact me on meandmy@hotmail.es

She is sleeping...

These were the words that my Sophie (one of the twins who I look after) said when she saw my ilustration: "The princess is sleeping". I couldn't  stop to smile... because time ago a friend of mine -Tobin- said: " some people can think they are a bit sad for children". Here is the test... they children are clever...

I always look at my illustrations with different eyes ...
