Hi Alaina, your work is so beautiful, you certainly don't need any help from me, but glad you thought my comments gave you a nudge. Please feel free to comment on any of my designs. You start second guessing every stroke when no one says anything. Thanks so much.

I got your card in the mail today and love it! It's got such a great retro vibe and I'm a sucker for the square shape. Thanks for sending and happy holidays!

Thanks for the sweet comment on Clover. I pretty much worship all your submissions in this challenge, I can't even pick a fav because they are all fantastic. I won't even wish you good luck because you don't need it! :)

Thank you so much for your comment. I think the design still needs work - ie, not sure if the gray should be flat, and if the pinstripes should be there. I love your work, so I'm totally flattered by your comment, thanks :)

Thanks for your comment on my bilingual invite! I admire all your work so your feedback means a lot! I actually did three bilingual invites so hopefully those show up in your voting: I would love to hear what you think of those. I struggled a lot with the text layout so that's why you'll see it used twice: because it cost me a lot of brain cells! I just have to say, though, that I love love love your "Glam Burst" invite. I'm not sure I've seen any invite that is art-deco inspired (only literal takes on the style) and you certainly put a very fresh modern spin on it. Cheers!

Hey Alaina!! Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my invite designs. I am a big fan of your work - your feedback means a lot! I actually meant to tell you... I was voting, and every time I came across one of your designs - they just immediately stood out - you have so many awesome entries!! Also, on my dragonflies design... I knew it felt like something familiar... and that's exactly it: Little Mermaid!!

Hi Alaina, your work is great. I always look forward to seeing it! About "beaming," the bottom bar is showing up more gray for me, although it's a warm gray. I would cool it down, but am on vacation now, on a slow computer without my files or illustrator, so i'm powerless!

Hi Alaina- Thanks for your comment! I embroidered it & scanned it. Did you have a booth at the NSS? If so, I should have stopped in and introduced myself!

Hello neighbor! :) I'm trying to organize an OH mintie meet-up, possibly Oct. 3rd but still TBD. Feel free to email me at paige.rothhaar@gmail.com or you can post in the forum if you're interested. I thought it would be fun to get together with other stationery fanatics and talk shop. :) Love your etsy shop and blog by the way! You do great work!
