Butterflies

Here's a snippit of some butterflies I illustrated for a greeting card. It makes me feel like Spring is in the air, even when we had 10 inches of snow last night. A girl can dream!

The Holiday Season

It's that time of year again. Holiday music, Christmas trees, snowman and hot chocolate. No snow here yet, but I'm sure it won't be long!

Tooth Fairy Tales - My Record of Each Lost Tooth

I recently got a copy of my book Tooth Fairy Tales - My Record of Each Lost Tooth. It's a journal book published by Potter Style (an imprint of Random House) for children and their parents to document when a child looses their teeth. I Illustrated all the art for this book as well as the lettering.

Here's the cover with the pocket peeking thru the central die cut window.

And halftone endpapers and pocket for the Tooth Fairy to leave a gift.

Here's one of the inside pages where you can write.

Here's another inside page where you can write and add a photo.

Here's the back cover.

Ironically, my daughter just lost her first tooth and we got to use it! Yay!
