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 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!
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!
Happy Wednesday, friends! This week is a big one — I will be writing an entire post soon, but for now I'm just popping in to share this laser-cut acrylic mirror version of my name. I created this awhile ago, but wanted to make sure I had it documented here on the blog. I've also been experimenting with this same material for fun project at work, the possibilities are endless when you have access to a laser machine! I hope your week has been wonderful so far!
As promised, here is part two to share a few of my favorite cards I worked on earlier in my career at Hallmark. (Take a peek at my first post here!) As a designer or artist I always think it is important to look back and be proud of how far you have come, and of older work. Some of these cards were my first projects collaborating with more seasoned designers, and others some of the very first as a designer myself. I hope that many of these cards helped people celebrate those they love!
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a few recent social media posts from Hallmark and Think.Make.Share. which have featured my artwork. This quote was created for a larger project which I can't wait to share, and I crafted the dimensional watercolor rose in the top left corner of the lower photo, as well as the tailored numbers on one of Hallmark's 2018 planners. I hope your week is off to a great start, I'm ready to dive right back in to making.
