Contest Winners: Picaboo Holiday Cards II


Holy smokes, I cannot tell you how excited I am! Since my last contest win (previous post) I have won FOUR more design contests for holiday cards, hosted by Picaboo.

This has been really fun and exciting for me as I feel it is confirmation, for myself only, that I am capable of doing great things in regards to something I love so much! These 4 designs, out of 185 total entries, were chosen by Picaboo to be made available to their customers this holiday season! Check out the latest 4 design wins below! (insert giddy giggles here :)

The winning designs will be made available to their customers to purchase from them via their website. My design was one of 1 of 18 winners, out of a total of 304 designs submitted! Woo hoo!

Cake Design: 40th Birthday Party





How fun is this cake!? I will admit, I was a little intimidated when I heard what LaShana had in mind for the cake for her mom's 40th birthday party--but once I got going on it everything came together and I think the cake turned out really well!

My main concern was trying to make the pink and yellow circles look random and scattered without having a pattern to them. The challenge that factor brought to the design made it even more enjoyable to work on. The color scheme is really fun and brings a lot to the cake design itself, both give it a fun and modern twist. Thanks LaShana!
