About guess what?

Hi! My name is Lori, and I'm the graphic designer behind "guess what?". I've always loved drawing and all things creative, and I've been making cards for friends and family since I was a little girl. Art + design have always been a part of my life, and I feel so blessed to be able to share a small part of that with you. Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to visit :)

Like Geekink, everything you submit is just always amazing and a sure '5'! :-) Your site looks really great and I hope you make some extra $$ with the links. You actually make more commission through the links than with your regular minted commission, isn't that crazy?? Anyways, I'm so happy that I found minted last year and got to know a bunch of sweet and talented people like you!

Thanks for welcoming me to Minted, Lori! I'm not sure yet if my design style will fit in here, but I am going to give it a try. I am glad my comment on your t-shirt design was helpful to you. Thanks again!

Thank you Lori, your compliment means a great deal to me coming from such an talented designer.. your submissions are always spectacular. I wish that I was submitting more than just commenting, I have an 11 week old preemie who takes up most of my time these days.. a lot of time spent sitting feeding her with my ipad in hand b/c I am so addicted to minted. I just love seeing all the designs come in. I hope to get to where you are some day : )

Lori - thanks for your feedback!! Don't worry about "making it difficult" on me - I wish every challenge, I would have to worry about what the 26 "likes" will think about my revisions!!! ;)

I meant feedback on it from others before the deadline - I wasn't trying to pressure you to comment! Sorry about how that sounded...

Hi, Lori! Thanks so much for your comment and suggestion on my Droplet design. I have uploaded a new version incorporating your heart suggestion...if you have a minute, please let me know if my execution of your suggestion is an improvement over my previous version. I am nervous about changing something that so many have "liked" already - I hope I get feedback on it before the deadline! I think I am liking the heart...thanks, again! :)
