The Liburds
This destination wedding occurred in the Dominican Republic, so I started at the beach and used vintage illustrations of the heart-shaped Corculum carissa (Heart Cockle) seashell throughout.

Hackolades
Acknowledging colleagues doesn't have to mean sending a message on a boring email or corporate letterhead, so we created the "Hackolade." Submissions to Human Resources are from throughout the year. Each month, winners receive a Hackolade with a carefully chosen gift card for the specific person. In the past, these have included music venues, dance or cooking lessons, books, and movies.

Four Days of Birthdays
Four of us in my friend group have consecutive birthdays, so I like to have a little fun making cards for each of them—especially the fourth one—there may or may not be birthday burnout after number three.

Halloween Eve 50th Birthday
If your birthday is the day before Halloween and you're turning 50, then a spooky-themed card is in order! The pocketed mini-card was constructed by layering different colored card stock, hand-cutting the theme elements, and folding it in accordion style. Leaving the visual story to unfold a bit at a time.

Winter Holidays for a Microsoft Client
