card for a housewarming party + angst

I did a version of a card originally illustrated by Rudolf Koivu, one of Finland's most beloved illustrators.

This is another one of those days when I'm not too happy with the quality of pictures that I've taken with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S). Minor thing, after all. Today though, once again, it shut itself down without any warning, after which it took half an hour to restart. Yeah I know, take the damn thing somewhere to be fixed. My old and ugly phones used to last long times in use, showing no signs of dysfunction.

Makes me wonder if things will get any better by the year 20XX as seen in the card up above... ;)

Happy Father's Day

a birthday card

Age is richness.

It's already some time ago when we celebrated my friend's birthday. I took a picture of the card I made her. For me this is the only kind of "gift" where the full meaning of congratulation comes along. 

Oh gosh, almost a full month since my last post... When the school starts I hope I'll do more stuff that can stir up some inspiration for the blog too. :)

25 today

My friend turned 25 today and I sent him this. We are planning a four-person trip to Croatia next summer and that gave me the idea for the card.

Lovely Mother's Day!

valmistumisia

Serkulla on huomenna valmistujaiset ja tein hänelle kortin (piirsin, skannasin, värit photarilla). Tästä huomaa, miten uskomattoman iso ero (!) voi olla väreissä, kun vertaa koneen näyttöä ja tulostetta. Meillä on ihan kelpo printteri, mutta ei oo meikältä sit kai mahdollista saada semmoista tulostusjälkeä kun tahdon...
