Holiday Ever After & Vera Bradley

In all the excitement leading up to the Holiday Ever After premeire, it was an added surprise to see the logo I created and Charlie’s beautiful artwork used on a series of Vera Bradley bags! Vera Bradley is such a nostalgic brand for me, I still use my large tote from middle school, and I would love to get my hands on one of these bags, too. The mini Mickey ears headphones case is also adorable. Take a peek at the whole group on Hallmark’s website, available soon!

Holiday Ever After

I’m thrilled to share that I had the amazing opportunity to create the movie title lettering for the upcoming Hallmark and Disney movie: Holiday Ever After, A Disney World Wish Come True! Starring Lacey Chabert and Travis Van Winkle, this will premiere on Hallmark Channel Saturday, November 28th. There are also tons of beautiful products that utilized the style guide artwork to go along with this exiting release as well. All illustration by the talented Charlie Hadley with Art Direction from Steve Willaredt. Take a look at them all here, available in October. I can’t wait to watch!

Lindsey (Lacey Chabert) and her extended family head to Walt Disney World to spend a magical Christmas together. But the dream of a jolly holiday gets quickly dashed when Lindsey discovers her room is next door to Philip (Travis Van Winkle), a disastrous first date she recently had, who’s also there on a family trip. As Lindsey and Philip’s paths cross throughout their stay, the frost starts to thaw as they learn they’re not so different from each other after all. Thanks to some Walt Disney World magic, the holiday wish Lindsey made in Cinderella Fountain just might turn their rivalry into romance.

Starring Lacey Chabert, Travis Van Winkle, Richard Kind,
Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns, and Asher Alexander.

Hallmark Christmas Experience

This holiday season was the debut of the Hallmark Christmas Experience at Crown Center in Kansas City, Missouri. For months (or maybe even over a year!) Hallmark has been working on bringing this event to life and I was so excited to have a small impact on the lettering and design (as they utilized a lot of Sheyda and I’s holiday work) which included supporting a collaborative mural, designing a commemorative t-shirt, lettering for gift product and seeing my friend Laura Ballard’s font “Snickerdoodle” that I had embellished all over the event!

I also had the opportunity to host an envelope decorating workshop with Chris Russell and Jim Langford one of the weekends. It was surreal to see things jump from my computer to giant screens, billboards and tents at the event and I loved meeting so many wonderful Hallmark fans. If you find yourself in KC during the holidays don’t miss a visit to the Hallmark Christmas Experience!

Jingle Stop NYC

Hallmark Channel concluded their Countdown to Christmas Bus Tour at the Blue Hill at Stone Barns outside of NYC. The talented Sheyda Best and I had worked on artwork for Hallmark’s holiday style guide and had the opportunity to customize holiday prints for Hallmark Stars and guests at the event! We had the best time exploring the grounds, enjoying the amazing food and working hard to hand-letter and embellish over 200 prints during the evening. I’m so appreciative of the chance to visit this beautiful venue and it was surreal to see our artwork applied at such a large scale!
