The Early Bird Gets...Lebkuchen

This morning I had an INSANE craving for Lebkuchen, which is a German treat typically made at Christmas time.

Because I was too lazy to go down to the store and buy the ingredients to make them, I decided to alleviate this craving by drawing some Lebkuchenherzen - German Gingerbread Hearts:

This little act of procrastination somehow led to designing my own Christmas cards for the better half of the day.

So for the early birds, here are the first 7 card designs, based on the song "12 Days of Christmas":

In terms of technique, the Lebkuchenherzen were drawn using Adobe Illustrator. The Christmas Cards I drew entirely on Adobe InDesign.

That's it for now as I'm off to lunch. Maybe I'll go down to the store and buy some Lebkuchen...

Enjoy.
