Holiday Lettering for Hallmark

Seeing holiday product arrive in stores has been extra exciting this year as I got the chance to collaborate with the talented illustrator Sheyda Best on a style guide that was utilized for gifts, greetings, marketing and more this season! Here are a few photos of the adorable gift product designed by Lauren Hale and the Hallmark Gifts team.

Halloween 2024

Grant’s second Halloween was so much fun! The whole family dressed up as Harry Potter characters, with Grant and Winnie being the stars as Dobby & a mandrake. Aunt Heidi even crocheted Grant’s ears (which he wasn’t a huge fan of wearing). After Trick-or-Treating around our house we headed to Grammy and Pop’s where Grant's favorite activity was moving candy in and out of his bag.


Mother’s Day 2024

I celebrated my second Mother’s Day with a beautiful lunch at Indian Hills and dinner with the Smith side of the family. Grant obviously wasn’t in the mood for photos (see below) but will always remember him walking with EB on the golf course and behind an exercise peanut at the Hanlin’s that day!
