Last year I worked on the Fem Team at Hallmark where our biggest project of the year was creating Mother's Day cards! I'm excited to finally be able to begin sharing some of my favorite cards i worked on, and today I'm starting with a photo look. Hallmark has an amazing photo studio, and they created these beautiful florals I was able to use in my designs. These cards also featured my lettering. Over the next few weeks I will continue to share some of the Mother's Day cards I worked on — I hope this inspires you to find the perfect card for the moms in your life!

A little throwback this week to one of my favorite lettering pieces I created when I first started at Hallmark. Enjoy!

I love saving images through Instagram and every once in awhile I notice a magical trend or palette come together. Here's a recent example: I love how the colors, textures, and photos all tell a little story when brought side by side. Enjoy!

Easter Eggs for Think.Make.Share.
Easter is right around the corner and once again Think.Make.Share. has lots of inspiration for your egg decorating! I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon painting a few eggs, and you can head over to the blog to see all the amazing results. You can also take a peek back at the workshop I hosted last year if you want even more inspiration. Happy decorating!
Big News!
Hello, friends! I don't often devote entire posts to life updates, but this week has been too eventful not to recap. Some may know that for the past few years I have been splitting my time between Kansas City and St. Louis while my husband, Dale, was in medical school. BUT this week we found out that he will be headed back to KC this summer to complete his internal medicine residency! This news has been a long time coming, so getting the final word that we will be together (full-time!) in our hometown was some of the best news ever!
And just in case that wasn't enough news for one week, we bought a house! I have been dreaming of owning a home for the past few years, and I can't wait to do a few repairs and updates and start decorating! This quote that I lettered for Hallmark pretty much sums up how I'm feeling. I can't wait to share some details about our house and next chapter in Kansas City here on the blog, but for now I'm off to celebrate!
