Hi Betta - I was just browsing submissions for the holiday invite challenge and came across your Silver Bell design, which is super adorable, but then I realized the wording I used in my submission is very similar to yours. I hadn't see yours before submitting/creating mine (which had been a work in progress for awhile), but now I feel badly that the wording is so close (although the designs are totally different!). Let me know if you would prefer if I changed mine, since yours was submitted first.

and, of course, I like Big Bang, too! I agree - the winner announcements always have some surprises...tough to predict!

Thank you, Betta, for your nice note and for sharing your personal experience about special prizes that were not Editor's Picks - that would be fun surprise!

Thanks for the heads up on the Chinese Calligraphy! Fixed that stroke, so hopefully everything else is ok. :)

Thank you so much for the comment! Where in Canada is Saskatchewan? It sounds so familiar, my grandma's from Edmonton. Must be nearby?

Thanks! Honestly I was surprised the farm one was chosen after all the favorable comments on the doula card (which was not and actually scored higher). You just never know! Loving your 3+ submissions by the way!

Of course! It stood out to me because it's so original. Your changes look really good too.

Agreed. I was a bit hesitant with the letter/postcard theme especially, because I've seen it so many times, not just on Minted but on other design sites too! I even did another one myself, for a previous challenge! I tried to put my own twist on it. This is definitely a learning experience, almost like design boot camp! Also, I really dig your entries for this round, very cool. Your ring illustrations are awesome!

Thanks for the encouragement! I have an advertising degree, not design so I started teaching myself Photoshop about 4 years ago for my job. Working on learning Illustrator, but its still going to take some work to be proficient!

If you don't mind sharing info, I really like the green floral pattern on the Diamond wedding invite and I was wondering where you get your images?
