Greeting Cards
Here are 4 examples of greeting cards I’ve designed recently and some I’m still working on.
(On the first card, the black design is a flap that opens up to the right which allows for the front of the card to open as normal. It’s hard to see as a flat image.)

resulting in logo and package design. From there I produced a 32 page book including each stage and the final product.

Fashion Show
I’ve been doing hair and makeup voluntarily for about 9 years for weddings, dances and special events. A couple years ago I worked at Macy’s in cosmetics as a beauty adviser. In February, through word of mouth, I was asked to do hair and makeup for an annual Fashion Show at the Granada Theatre in The Dalles. All of the local boutiques and salons from Hood River and The Dalles were involved, showing their latest trends and clothing. It was an interesting and expected rush. From experience, I know there is never enough time, you’re always rushing, people are standing over your shoulder asking for direction, when they will be up, where their dress is, etc etc. By the last girl we were walking down the hall towards the stage while finishing her makeup. But it is well wroth all the stress. It’s an great sense of accomplishment watching those girls on stage and knowing they look great and you had a part in it. The theme was Princess Warrior so I mainly went with the gold flakes, black bands tapering off towards the temple and pink or teals blended from the eyes to the cheek bones. (If for some reason you’re ever interested in using gold flakes like in photos below, you can find them at Michael’s and use eyelash glue to adhere to face or any surface. Department stores no longer sell it, found that out the hard way.) 
These are some examples I used as inspiration.
