wHOa wHOa wHOa!

It's the start of July and if I'm being realistic, I have to start my Christmas Card designs; don't make that face. You've only read this sentence, I'm the one thinking about it! It helps that it's been raining today as these sorts of things are so difficult to think of when it's blazing sunshine.

There are going to be three styles: Nativity, Winter Wonderland and a third...upon which I haven't yet decided.
The whole point of sketcHiness is to provide the cards that you can't find on the high street; I have a few alternative ones in there at the moment, but you can't stray too far from the trail when it comes to Christmas. So I'm just trying to have a slightly different theme.
It depends largely on the word play, if I think there is something funny enough to make me laugh then I'll carry on down that route; if I can only think of pretty pictures, then the pictures themselves have to be lyrical enough to stand alone with only an interior message.

I will reveal them closer the time, but I have the list of themes hidden behind lists of other things on my project pin board because I am just not ready to contemplate the day to day reminder of Jingle Bells just yet!

Here are a few from last year's free digital advent calendar. A few of these made me laugh a fair bit.

Ooh look: some actual work!

So I've told you about my "special" behaviour when it comes to inanimate objects, and I've said things about Peter Falk, but this is my sketcHiness blog, so maybe you would like to see some of the actual work I have done?

You can click on the FaceBook monster to the right to link to all of it, but this is what I've done for the line called "I Tried To Disguise Your Gift..."
It's not rocket surgery, but I think they're rather nice! Make a change to look at what I do rather than to raise an eyebrows and question my sanity doesn't it? Yeah it does.
