Modern Calligraphy Summit 2.0 Teachers

There are just a few days left of the Modern Calligraphy Summit 2.0 and I have loved watching all the videos that have gone live so far. I'm grateful I can go back and watch these at anytime β€” thought I have kept up with viewing the lessons I haven't yet had time to complete all the exercises myself. Below you will find links to each of the teachers' websites and Instagram accounts (click on their name for Instagram / photo for their website). I have been very inspired by the variety of styles and vast knowledge these ladies have shared, enjoy browsing through their work!

Valentine’s Cards for Hallmark

I have LOVED seeing all the Valentine's Day cards I designed last year on shelves! Here are a few of my favorites, to take a peek at them all head over to my portfolio. You can find them in person at Hallmark Gold Crown Stores, Walmart, CVS and Walgreens just to name a few. While I am no longer on the Valentine's Day team at work, I hope that someday I will have another chance to design for this holiday, it truly is one of my favorites. Enjoy!

Merry? Very! Socks for Hallmark

With Christmas just a few days away I was thrilled to finally discover these socks I designed at the Hallmark store! For those who know me well, I often wear silly socks and when I was working on this project I couldn't wait to see them in real life. Hopefully you are enjoying the last few busy days before December 25th!

Jim Fedor Quote

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of participating in a Pointed Pen workshop with Jim Fedor at Hallmark and I loved this quote he shared with us. I have been practicing, and one of my goals for the new year is to really spend some time on pointed pen. Be on the lookout for a post about my progress, I know even sharing this will help keep me accountable. Have a happy Friday!
