Christmas is right around the corner.

I’m so not ready yet….and I’m not entirely clear on how that happened.

It’s not like the season comes as a surprise. 🤦🏾‍♀️

You’d think I’d have gotten my act together after last year’s mad rush to letter all my holiday cards.

Nope. This genius opts for the annual crazy instead. Literally, THE last minute.

Sigh.

While I’m still creating on a daily basis (job hazard), I’m not getting to practice very much lettering these days. So, I figured I’d make the next few practices I do holiday-themed. That way I can print cards this year, if necessary. Last week you saw installment one. This is installment two.

The lettering for this one started out pretty rough. But I think it ended up in a nice place.

I had a few variations because I kept experimenting with it and some textured backgrounds. I figure, if push comes to shove, I can send these out to be printed…and then, from the printer, sent straight to the recipient. 🥰
