Here is a look at the January desktop wallpaper I designed for Hallmark's Think.Make.Share. blog. Head on over to the blog to download!
2014 Reflection
I have to admit this post was harder to put together than I expected, 2014 was BUSY! I think the main reason this year is so hard to reflect upon is because I went through so many major changes within such a short period of time. I graduated from college, got engaged, adopted a kitten, and started my career. I was lucky enough to travel to Colorado, Spain, and San Francisco. These are all events which could merit a full paragraph so I will keep things simple. Looking back at 2014 helped me to realize just how lucky I am to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family. These few pictures barely begin to summarize everything that happened in 2014, but they are some of my favorites.
I can't wait to see what 2015 will bring!
Llamas Are Lovely
Not only are llamas perhaps my most favorite animal, but this Christmas I received several llama-related gifts. I truly hope that everyone is jumping on the llama bandwagon with me. Here are a few of my favorite llama prints, products, and even a snapshot of one of my past projects:
Marsala: Pantone Color of the Year
I for one have already fallen in love with Pantone's choice for the 2015 Color of the Year. Marsala was described by Leatrice Wiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institue, as a color that "enriches our mind, body, and soul, exuding confidence and stability." A quick search of this color already brings up its use in high fashion, and with Pantone's announcement earlier this month, I know it will only become more prevalent. I was also excited to download the color palettes Pantone provided using Marsala; take a look at them below. With 2015 rapidly approaching, I can't wait to see how I will be inspired not only by Marsala, but these additional palettes. Enjoy!
Save The Date
I am finally just about to send out Dale and I's Save the Date! We have decided to email these out so that I can make our actual invitations especially special. I love that I was able to combine my lettering with one of our engagement photos (taken by Rusty Wright of Waldron Photograph Co.) The wedding to-do list seems to get longer every day, especially with all of the little details, but I am excited to continue sharing bits and pieces as June 6th approaches!
Royals Chalk Lettering
Today was an exciting day to be in Kansas City, and at Hallmark! With the Royals playing in the World Series the atmosphere around town is amazing. To celebrate, the Lettering Studio created a chalk lettering piece at Crown Center, and I was lucky enough to be able to help out. Take a look at a few pictures from the process, and be sure to watch the video Hallmark made! Visit Hallmark's Facebook album to see even more pictures from today. Go Royals!
