Sari Victoria Holiday Cards for Snapfish

Ahh the holiday spirit is all around in New York City. The glowing lights, sounds, chestnuts roasting..Love it! 16 days until Christmas! Have you ordered your holiday cards yet? I had so much fun designing these Christmas/Holiday cards for Snapfish this year. 

Sari Victoria Collection for Snapfish

I am so excited to announce my Sari Victoria Collection for Snapfish. I've been designing up a storm the past few months in order to create an assortment of designs for the holiday season. Below are some thumbnails of the cards. My winter 2010 favorites include 8 Nights of Hanukkah, Touch of Holly, 12 Days of Christmas Notecards, and Merry Chrismukkah. I was recently at the press event to announce the new designer series and was able to see some of the printed pieces LIVE. I recommend a matte finished photo card or stationery card choice for a high end feel to the photocard designs.

To all my UK readers and friends, my designs are available through the Sari Victoria UK Snapfish Collection.

Reminder: Hanukkah sneaks up on the calendar this year, it's December 1st! 

**New cards will be added monthly and you can always find a link to these cards on the right hand column of this blog.

Squeals for Kiehl's

Tonight I was trying on skinny jeans with my sister at Bloomies (hello people Friends & Family presale!) and on my way out I gushed over this 40th Anniversary Kiehl's lip gloss packaging. Little hand drawn lip glosses. So cute.

"I want to draw cute lip glosses!" I sighed to my sister. However, sister, who left her office to try on jeans with me, had to go back to work and finish up tax returns. Needless to say I received a puzzled look.

Ahhh to draw and paint packaging all day. A dream.Some other illustrations I did for a client (note: not Kiehl's)

Happy New Year! L'shanah tovah!

Tonight starts the Jewish New Year 5770. Looking forward to a very creative year ahead!

A Vogue Idea

September 1st, and I found myself at the movie theater last night viewing The September Issue. The most surprising and worthwhile parts are with Grace Coddington. I will never look at a Vogue magazine the same way. Her artistic/stylish eye creates most of the beautiful spreads and ideas that come out of that publication! I can recall some from the past (that I have saved) that I KNOW she art directed after watching this film! The statements alone had me thinking. I can't wait to get this on DVD and pause+play> through the whole thing to get Grace's wonderful quotes onto paper!

I couldn't help but think of this quote as I walked out of the theater...

"When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I felt it fed me more."
