One more thing...I really hop you get a pick with the next announcements, but don't get too down if you don't get a win with the birthday invitations. I know how it is to have a well "liked" design and not get a pick - it's so much more disappointing because you are really thinking you've got it! You've got some nice designs entered in the baby shower challenge, too, so keep it up! :) Fingers still crossed for ya!

Hi, Stephanie! Thanks for your note - I appreciate the heads-up! I'll be honest, I did not search the web for ampersand designs before I submitted (because that would have been overwhelming!), and I'm rarely on Etsy, so I have no way of knowing (that I can tell from looking at the listing) when hers went for sale. I think they are different enough, though - I mean everyone uses ampersands in wedding-related designs, it's obvious they are the same font ampersand, but it's cropped/formatted differently and doesn't have the names in the middle. I'm not a copyright expert, but I'm thinking this one may be okay...I really appreciate you looking out for me and giving me notice! Thanks a bunch!

Lovin' The Cold, Buttermilk Blessings, Whistling Cardinal, Golden Treasure all have such BEAUTIFUL illustrations. I would re-purpose them to use in the stationary challenge. Oh, and Wishing Hearts....that is one of my favorites!! Congrats on the new job too! Very exciting.

You are so very welcome. Your designs have evolved so much, I admire your perseverance. Your diary of jane invite was very deserving of a 5 in my eyes and I am sure that I am not the only one! I am super anxious and hopeful for you to get your first win! Keep up the good work!

Hey Stephanie, thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! I meant to write to you earlier when you wrote the sweet comment on my The big one design. That just made my day! I see so much growth in your designs, and I really, really hope one of them wins soon : ) Thanks for being such an encouraging Mintie! I really value your comments : )

Hey, Stephanie - thanks for your suggestions on "Save Me." I've seen designers submit photo and non-photo versions of a design before - I think the photo is a big enough difference. I think they just don't want two versions of the same design in different colors/fonts. Good luck!

Stephanie - congrats on all your high scores in the wedding challenge! I don't know if you scrolled through all the entries in ranked order, but I did - and at least 3 or your entries ranked very high and were surrounded by other greatness, as well. Nothing to be discouraged about. Keep at it - your work is great!

Big props to already voting thru wedding already Stephanie!! Making it along vote by vote, I find you an inspiration :) Also so happy to see there are other minties who find it worthwhile to check out as many of them as they can. Even though not everyone can vote on all 1600+, it's a bummer to think after everyone's hard work if any were edited out, so people don't get stressed out if they can't vote on every one. And in the time we debate and edit, we could be voting, ha ha! :) Thanks again!

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for your super kind comments! I especially loved that you likened my banners to canoes on my "In the Woods" Head Over Heels challenge design - I never even thought of that! You have a great eye and your submissions for this challenge are so good - keep up the great work! :)

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Do you know if the submission files can only be used in photoshop or can they be used in InDesign as well? Thanks!
