Hello! I'm Heather.  Illustrator, photographer, and mom of five.  I also love to plan a good party!  Here I share what I'm doing, creating, and loving at the moment. 

A few days of belly laughs, no sleep (my left eye is twitching like mad), rollercoasters (that are way faster and crazier at night!), and boomerang video fails with my mom + sisters has been a breath of fresh air! . #wheresmom #momislostagain #disneylandorbust #gethaileyawheelchair #maxpassexperts Channeling my inner princess the last couple days with my sisters at Disneyland - who else loves this Cinderella quote? 🐭 . . Available as a print in my art shop! #heathertycksenartshop It’s our third time doing this so I’m officially calling it our annual trip!🎄Missing you @v__haugen! . . #sisterstripwithmom #upallnight #laughinguntilithurts C L I P A R T for gift tags! 🎄💌 . Have you snapped up the Scandinavian Christmas clip art in my art shop yet? Share how you use it with the tag #heathertycksenclipart so we can see your ideas! . heathertycksen.com . . . #tccsweden2018 #scandinavianchristmas #watercolorclipart Letters are on their way to the North Pole!📮🎅🏼 . Will asked for a watermelon in the bottom of his stocking instead of an orange, and Liv asked for a mango in hers. 🍉🍈 Among many, MANY other special requests, of course. #ithinkwillmayneedabiggerstocking #maybethatishisgeniusplan 🤔 . . If you’re local, drop letters to Santa here at SoDa Row in Daybreak - if you have a return address on your letter, Santa will write you back! 💌 Be quick, I think they remove the box on the 14th. I couldn’t be more excited to announce that there are not ONE ... not TWO ... but THREE Christmas clip art sets, LIVE and ready to download from my shop! ⭐️🇳🇴🎄🇸🇪💗🇩🇰 . SO many ways to use this digital clip art: invitations, gift tags (print on sticky labels to make life easier!), cake toppers, bookmarks, greeting cards, framed as artwork, printed and tied with ribbon for tree ornaments, make a matching game or stick puppets for your little ones ... the list goes on! What are your ideas? . Please tag photos of the ways you put them to use with #heathertycksenclipart so we can gather all the creative ideas! ❤️ . . heathertycksen.com . . #heathertycksenartshop #tccsweden2018 #scandinavianchristmas #nordicchristmas #scandichristmas #watercolorclipart #watercolordaily #illustrationofinstagram #watercoloroftheday #watercolorillustrations #digitalclipart #partysupplies #stationery #gifttags #printableinvitations #notecards #papercraft #clipart #caketoppers #paperdolls #scrapbookingsupplies Because I know you’re dying to see behind the scenes. Just kidding. Anyway, here you go! 🙃 My very own gnome Muppet. ❤️ Thanks Mom! I always dreamed of working for Jim Henson ... I’m not even kidding. Can you imagine how fun that would’ve been?? 😂 Also, have you read “The Tomten” by Astrid Lindgren? It’s one of my Christmas favorites. . . #heatherslittlelibrary He shot his eye out! 🎶💥 #ralphie #achristmasstory #britishchristmascrackers #lametoys #hegotthebestone S N E A K P E E K of P A R T of the clip art that’s landing in my shop this week! ⭐️ What ideas do you have for using it? Gift tags, post cards, stickers, tree ornaments?? I’d love to hear + see what you do with it! I’ll keep you posted as soon as it’s available for download. . . #heathertycksenartshop #watercolorclipart #scandinavianchristmas #tccsweden2018 I ❤️ my family! . . #christmastreecutting #favoritetradition Our Scandinavian tree! We cut it ourselves last Friday (my favorite tradition) and it’s been glowing all week. ⭐️ . We decorate two trees every year - a fresh one with my Norwegian things, and a little artificial tree downstairs for everything else (handmade ornaments the kids made at school, which are amazingly cute and funny, etc. 😂 I’ll share those later). . Some of my Scandinavian ornaments include: . 1) Dala horse from my mom @haugendaz 2) nisse globe (souvenir my parents brought from Norway) 3) Julbukk (traditional straw Christmas goats) that my sister @camislaughter brought from Norway after living there for a summer 🐐 4) wooden boy I found years ago at the Scandinavian shop in SLC (which sadly is no longer there) 5) wooden bead + felt elves handmade by my friend @julietruscott 🍄 6-7) a gift tag from my grandparents from when I was three or four years old, in #poppyper ‘s handwriting. They shipped gifts from Norway and my mom saved this cute tag ❤️ 8) gingerbread cookies AND little Norwegian flags, of course! 🇳🇴🎄⭐️ Doing my best to keep my Scandinavian heritage + traditions alive in hopes that they’ll rub off on my kids. 😉 . Watercolor clip art based on some of these ornaments will be hitting the shop this week for you to download!! I’ll keep you posted. heathertycksen.com . . #tccsweden2018 #scandinavianchristmas
