They look great on kids!

This is a picture of my son, Dax, wearing his Jungle Holiday shirt. He really likes it.

This is my other son, Kai, wearing his Wonder Twins Holiday shirt. Santa liked it and so did everyone else at our twins club holiday party.

These designs and many more are available on shirts, onesies, sweatshirts and gift items. There is still time for Christmas delivery if you order them from my store now.

Always a Surprise

I'm always surprised at what the big sellers in my store are. Right now, the top three designs are:



Wonder Twin Powers Activate Cartoons

The Wonder Twin Powers Activate with the cartoons is much more popular than just the words alone (which is also an option in the Scarlet Dolphin Designs Store.) It features boy/girl twins that are very similar to Zan & Janya from the 70s cartoon "Superfriends." (They are the ones that actually coined the term "Wonder Twin Powers Activate!")

Future Drummer

I created this design for my son, Dax, who is 2.5 years old and drums on EVERYTHING. He's actually getting a baby-sized drumset for Christmas since he is so into it. I guess there must be a lot of other little drummers out there because this is the second most popular design.



Danielle the Hippo
I created this design for my friend, Danielle. I always thought it was unique that she loves hippos. Apparently, hippos are rather popular. I've sold large framed posters, pillows, sweatshirts and more in this design making it the third most popular.



If you have any ideas for designs, please send them to me at: jj@scarletdolphin.com. If I make your design and put it in the store, I'll let you buy it one time at my cost. Thank you!

Why I send Christmas Cards


Christmas cards are a way for me to keep in touch with people I haven't seen in a while. Maybe I haven't talked to some of these people in years, but the Christmas cards keep us connected. I love to receive Christmas cards especially the ones with pictures in/on them. It's so fun to see someone's new baby, their kids growing up, their house or their new dog. All of that makes me feel like I know that person better. I feel closer to them.

I like to send out very special, custom Christmas cards each year. My favorite from a few years ago was a timeline of all the fun stuff that happened to our family through the year. That was a year that we were lucky to have done quite a bit of traveling so we had a picture from a different location each month.

The truth about Christmas cards is that you have to give if you want to receive. If you don't send cards people may think you've moved, you don't care about them anymore, your a big Scrooge, or your dead. I send about 120 cards each year. I keep that number steady by removing the people from the list that haven't sent me a card in 2 years. If feel bad about it, but if I kept all the Scrooges on the list then I'd be sending out 500 cards per year.

So you're feeling like a Scrooge? Have your long-distance friends forgotten what you look like? Then you are in the right place. I will be happy to make you a very unique photo card based entirely on your photos and input. I offer 4x8 photo cards with envelopes. The turn around time on those is 3-4 days after the design is complete. I also offer printed folding cards that will turn out just like a Hallmark card, but with your photos printed into the design. The turn around time on that type of card is about 10 days after the design is complete.

We're near the end of the window of opportunity on the printed folding cards. If you're interested in this type of card, please contact me right away!

There is more time to think about the 4x8 photo cards, but if you want a really cool, unique, custom design that no one in the world has then we need to get started!

New Christmas/Holiday Shirts and Gifts!


I just added a new section called "Hot Holiday Items" to the Scarlet Dolphin Designs store. It's the first section on the front page. The new section contains fun designs like a realistic picture of a buffalo wearing a wreath around its neck. The text on that one reads, "Buffalo Bill says, 'Reindeer are wimps.' Have a Wild West Christmas." Another fun design is a Christmas version of our "Wonder Twin Powers ACTIVATE!" shirt with Jayna and Zan transforming into Santa Claus and an Ice Tree. Perfect for twins, Wonder Twins fans, Super Friends Fans, and comic lovers.

Check back often because I plan to add new designs every day!

Not a domestic diva? Neither am I!


I hate doing laundry, cooking dinner, cleaning the house and all the rest of that stuff. Unfortunately, that seems to be how I spend the majority of my time since the birth of my twin boys. I created this shirt as a message to my husband and anyone else who expects me to be June Cleaver. It's just not happening! Personally, I think it's hilarious to wear "I'm Not June Cleaver" on an apron or serve dinner on a trivet with this design on it. "I'm Not June Cleaver" clothing and gifts will make a great gift for all your girlfriends!

Today's new design: Future Drummer



My son, Dax, plays the drums everywhere--on our stools, on the tables, on the chairs--everywhere. I created this design for him and all the other little future drummers out there. Every rock star had to start somewhere!

Future Drummer is available on bibs, onesies, t-shirts, sweatshirts and gift items. Happy shopping!

Great new hippo cartoon in the store


I added a great new hippo cartoon to the Scarlet Dolphin Designs store on Cafepress.com today. The hippo is purple and pink. She is available on shirts, sweatshirts, onesies, bibs, buttons, magnets, mousepads and pretty much anything else you can think of. I named her Danielle the Hippo for my friend, Danielle, who loves hippos.
