Today I'm sharing the last group of Mother's Day cards I designed for Hallmark! These cards were a collaboration with Hallmark's Union Hill photo studio, and I love the kaleidoscope effect with the floral photos. I hope you have enjoyed seeing a glimpse into my work world, it's always interesting for me to reflect when my work actually arrives in stores because there is such a delay. I loved working on this team, and while I am now back in the Lettering Studio I am happy that I will be able to continue collaborating with the talented designers working on this special holiday. Happy Mother's Day!
Mother’s Day Cards — Watercolor
Mother's Day is now just a few days away! These cards were some of my favorite cards I designed last year. I created lettering to complement Craig Lueck's beautiful watercolors, and loved being able to use a fancy paper stock and flitter for some added sparkle. Enjoy!
Mother’s Day Cards — Wildflowers
This group of Mother's Day cards features artwork by Hallmark artist Ai Carver! I love the color palette and choose to heavily use gold foil, flitter and gems when designing. Be on the lookout for just a few more Mother's Day posts next week!
Mother’s Day Cards — Abstract Backgrounds
These Mother's Day Cards were another collaboration with Lisa Rogers! I created the lettering, and used her lovely abstracts as backgrounds. Enjoy!

April Around The Web
Hello, friends! Spring has finally decided to arrive in KC and I'm loving it! This month has been a whirlwind — two of my close friends got married, I traveled to Gulf Shores with our St. Louis friends for one last trip before they all finish school, and this weekend I have a bachelorette party. I'm a little exhausted but it has all been totally worth it, so many happy memories. I've also made a few purchases this month I will share below, but my favorite find was Spencer Charles new script alphabet Sinistral Hand — designed especially for lefties like me!
I've also been admiring Nick Matej's work this month, it's wonderful.
Kelly's closet doors have my wheels spinning for some projects at the house.
Ever since watching the documentary about Iris Apfel I love reading articles about her. These photos are awesome too.
I know renovating our bathroom is a looong way off, but I'm saving these ideas.
Think.Make.Share. hosted a maker exchange and so many of my talented friends participated! I would love to do this with my friends outside of work too.
Always on the hunt for great clean beauty options
This month I won an Instagram give-away from Enjoy! If you live in KC definitely try them out, their green mojito smoothie is my absolute favorite.
I also am testing out Branch Basics multi-purpose cleaner this month and so far so good!
One of my friends is getting married later this Summer and I knew this would be the perfect dress for the occasion, can't wait for it to arrive! Congrats Julia, the collection is beautiful!
And last but not least, I am headed to New York next week and loved reading about some great places to take pictures in the city.
