She's Got Mail

When delivering a message is as easy as a click of the mouse, the thought of sending snail mail holiday cards doesn't even cross some people's minds.

But for Bradenton illustrator Shannon Kirsten Couch, cards are a big business.

Last year, Couch, 32, designed a set of Christmas card illustrations that she licensed to greeting card giant Hallmark Cards. The cards were sold at Hallmark stores as well as at CVS, Walgreens, Publix and other stores and will be re-released this summer.
