It was the second of our two July birthdays last F

It was the second of our two July birthdays last Friday, that of our super Sabrina, who turned 6! We had a lovely weekend celebrating such a special and amazing girl, and I illustrated her this birthday card. It's a fennec fox, one of her favorite animals, surrounded by gems of all colors, because she loves a bit of bling. Happy Birthday to Sabrina and all other July 19th babies out there! #illustration #illustrator #greetingcards #greetingcardillustration #fennecfox #cuteanimalillustration #colorful #gems #happybirthday #childrensillustration #childrensillustrator #illustrationart #illustrationartists #ukillustrator #happy

Snake birthday card! I made this for my darling Em

Snake birthday card! I made this for my darling Emmett who turned 8 last weekend. And what an amazing 8 year old he is! He's loved snakes for a while now, so it seemed like a good thing to make a birthday card about 🐍 #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #illustrationart #snakeillustration #greetingcards #greetingcardillustration #colorful #bright #handlettering #handlettered

A few weeks ago we went camping at the @darlingwoodsofmay near York and it was SO lovely! One of the best parts were the adorable, fuzzy alpacas who live there. The kids loved saying good morning and good night to them each day, and they added a certain magic to an already beautiful, peaceful campsite. They reminded me of the llama calendars I illustrated for @quartobooksus , full of quirky llamas like this one surrounded by flowers. I just love their deep soulful eyes. #illustration #illustrator #camping #llamas #alpacas #llamaillustration #alpacart #colorful #calendarart #calendarillustration

A pic from my archives... I always think of this one as I dodge snails cruising across my path when I'm on a walk. They look so determined. Go little snails! #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #illustrationart #colorful #colourful #snail #summer #handlettering #handlettered #drawing

A really good day! This is the new illustration I created for the card A Really Good Day, part of the Breathe Like a Bear mindfulness deck, written by the amazing @kirawilley and which was published recently by @clarksonpotter . I was just writing about this wonderful deck for my blog, thinking about the creative process. When I sat down to illustrate this super mindfulness exercise, where we envision a really good day from start to finish, I thought about what counts as a really good day for my family. I landed on playing games with friends, outside in the sunshine, with a beautiful rainbow overhead. And then I had fun drawing just that! Does that sound like a really good day to you? #illustration #illustrationart #illustrator #childrensillustration #childrensillustrator #picturebookillustration #mindfulness #mindfulnessforkids #colorful #colourful #rainbows #sun

Life is so much nicer when butterflies are flutter

Life is so much nicer when butterflies are fluttering by. I saw some in the Lakes last weekend that I've never seen before! Not as colorful as these made-up ones, but almost. #illustration #illustrator #butterflies #estyuk #etsy #printsforsale #colorful #art #butterflyart #butterflyillustration #bugs #summer

Whether you're celebrating Memorial Day in the US

Whether you're celebrating Memorial Day in the US or the Bank Holiday in the UK, I hope your long weekend includes lots of sunshine and ice cream! Ok, there may not be THAT much sunshine in the UK, but we'll have to make up for it with even more ice cream 😁 (PS This Iguana with an ice cream is one of 26 Alphabet Animals I illustrated, available as prints in my Etsy shop, link in bio!) #illustration #childrensillustrations #childrensbookillustration #icecream #drawings #alphabet #alphabetanimals #iguana #colorful #colorfulillustration #wallart #printsforsale #etsy #etsyuk #illustrator #illustratoruk

Happy Friday! I hope your day is as bright and colorful as these flowers. It's finally a little warm where I am, and I'm looking forward to ice cream and sitting in our little garden which is overflowing with colorful blooms already. Enjoy your weekend! #illustration #illustrator #friday #colorful #flowers #garden #brightcolors #etsy #etsyuk #printsforsale

A little drawing just for fun: a magical mushroom

A little drawing just for fun: a magical mushroom land, where curious children explore a landscape of giant colorful fungi. I love finding mushrooms in the forest, it’s even better if they have great names like Dead Man’s Fingers, Amethyst Deceiver, and Destroying Angel (though I would steer clear of that one)! Imagine if we wandered into a place like this, where the mushrooms were taller than us.... I also enjoyed working with this color palette, full of some of my favorite colors!

The weekend is here at last! What sort of adventure will you seek? Mine will involve abbey ruins, playgrounds, Five Guys and helping put the finishing touches on the pond my husband just created in our garden. Hope your plans for adventure are exciting and fun, as well! #illustration #illustrator #llama #adventure #calendarillustration #handlettering #llamaillustration #animalillustration #drawing #llamadrawing #colorful
