I’m so excited to begin sharing photos from my family trip to England and Croatia! Sophie and I had an eventful flight out (and ended up missing our first day) but we were thrilled to finally land in London and got a full night’s sleep before our first full day! Our Airbnb was right above Mr. Fogg’s House of Botanicals and we fully embraced all the faux flowers around town. I have TWO posts coming to share our visit to Hampton Court Palace, but for now here are a few highlights from our first day exploring London and our dinner at Sketch!
You’re Always Loved for Signature
My lettering is featured on this Hallmark Signature card, perfect for encouragement during a hard time. I hope it brings comfort to anyone who receives it!

May Around The Web
The end of this month is particularly exciting because I’m headed to Europe for three weeks (and when this posts I will be in England)! This also means that I’m wrapping up a rotation in Hallmark’s Global Trends Studio and will rejoin my normal team after my trip. Besides all the prep-work to be out for my vacation, this month was filled with meetings for Holiday Mart, the return of Hallmarket (one of my favorite days of the year!), time with friends (dinner with Brandon & Sonya, charity event with Alyson & Kale, dinner with Laura & Leslie), Grammy and Aunt Edna’s birthday lunch, and lots of time photographing all the blooms. Peony season is my absolute favorite!
Around the web, I was inspired by this home in London (especially since I will be spending time there this month!)

Signature Studio Collection
I am SO EXCITED to have seen the first peek at the new Hallmark Signature Studio Collection on their Instagram feed (sadly the giveaway has ended!). Working on the lettering for this collection was a dream project and I can’t wait to share more as these beauties hit stores very soon!

Peony Bouquets
Of course I also had to document a few of the bouquets I’ve been placing all around the house. I’m so glad my peonies bloomed before I head to Europe on Friday!
2022 Lettering for Hallmark
I love seeing my 2022 lettering used on this Video Greeting card for Hallmark! If you are celebrating a graduate (especially from afar!) these cards include a video message which they can download and save forever. Congrats, 2022 grads!
