Santa Cat Ornament

I created another version of a “I Believe in Santa Paws” design that I made two weeks ago by changing the font style and background color from green to blue.

Drafts for Christmas Cards

I have been working on drafts for Christmas cards. I created about 10 drafts over the weekend. They are snowscapes with Santa, Christmas scenes with trees and snowflakes, peace doves, and a Nativity.
I will concentrate on these Christmas cards for a while.

Occupy Wall Street Movement Design

I decided to create “Occupy Wall Street” Movement designs since it's a hot current issue. I downloaded free photos for Wall Street, the American flag, and people. First, I cropped a picture of Wall Street and placed it as the background, and an American flag in the air with a message of “We are the 99%,” and protesters in front. I added posterize effect and grunge on the graphics.

First Ornament for Christmas at Zazzle

I modified a “I Believe in Santa Paws” design from yesterday, and turned it into a new design for a Christmas ornament. I placed a cat in a Christmas bauble, and snowflakes around the bauble.

“I believe in Santa Paws” Designs

I already uploaded some cat T-Shirts in September at my Zazzle store since I wanted to make my first Squidoo lens for seasonal T- Shirts. I created additional drafts for Christmas cards over the weekend. I often come up with new ideas while working on one design. 
I cropped a lot of cat pictures for “Cats in Room,” “Cats and Santa” for mugs, and “cats in Bauble.”
I finished an ongoing draft for “I believe in Santa Paws” designs. I will create a couple of patterns with this design.

Start Working on Christmas Cards

I started working hard on Christmas designs. This is my first year for Christmas at Zazzle, and I have already uploaded some Christmas stuff on my Zazzle store. Now, it's time to put more effort into the biggest event of the year. I'm sure that Christmas cards are best selling products as everybody agrees. I will focus on Christmas cards for a while in October, and on other products such as T-Shirts and ornaments when ideas come to my mind for that. I created some drafts based on the sketches that I drew last week. They are falling snow scenes with snowflakes, a peace dove flying over a Christmas tree, cats sitting in a room, cardinals in love, and more. I also looked around my old folders I made for CafePress to consider how to modify graphics for new designs.

Pink Ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness

October is a Breast Cancer Awareness month.
I have been working on a related subject for the last couple of days. I made a pink ribbon first, and combined it with a butterfly, hearts, flowers, and messages, such as “Hope, Courage, Love,” and “Find a Cure.” I changed the sizes and colors of the hearts and created some different versions.
I saw Zazzle's home page today, and I found their Pink Ribbon Shop. They will donate 20% of the sales to breast cancer related causes.
