Hippopotamus Holiday Cards!

I love an epic task.  Better yet if it is last minute.  Bonus points if it is self-inflicted.

I want a hippoptamus or Christmas is one of my favorite songs {which apparently I have mentioned here more than once!}.  I got a slightly last-minute idea to combine our love for letterpress and music for Rich and my Christmas card this year.  We sent out a mix cd with our favorite, slightly off-beat holiday songs packaged in a custom illustrated {by me!} letterpress printed cd sleeve, complete with a random mix of current and vintage postage stamps.   

We managed to pull it all off in one week and got them out literally three days before Christmas.  I know a few arrived after Christmas.  Oh well!  It can be enjoyed year after year, right?

I really loved both of your holiday cards – for the studio and personal – so creative and well-designed! I was also sending out cards days before the holiday. Next year I am vowing to have it designed before Thanksgiving and sent out shortly after. (I vowed this last year as well. :D )
