I've been quite busy and I haven't been able to post as much as I wanted to . But here are a few Christmas stockings and tree skirts . Christmas Stockings : I have been focusing on adding more cards , labels and stickers this year , but you'll still find a few Christmas stockings to choose from . When I create stockings , I usually like them with cute characters . Those take more time to design , but they are worth it . In this post , I'll feature my cartoon polar bear family . I love how it all came out together . There is the young child peeking in Santa's bag , the teen hanging out with his snowman friend , the mom carrying shopping bags (probably filled with presents) and the dad taking care of the lighting . I also love how I added a "faux" border at the top of each stocking ( featuring a different pattern for each member of the family) . And of course the fact that you can personalize them with a  name makes them even more fun !  Some people like pat

That is why , despite the digital world we're living in , I still create and add some in my online shops . And to go along with them , I also design return address labels , envelope seals , envelope liners and a few envelopes . I can divide them in 2 groups : the ones featuring my whimsical illustrations and the one that you can personalize with your pets or kids photos . Today , I'll show off the first group . Flat Holiday Cards :  I started to add some flat cards this year , as some people seem to prefer them to regular cards . The text is entirely customizable . Regular Greeting Cards : All my old Christmas - Holiday cards are regul
