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 :)

This note will be displayed to customers after purchase and inserted into their shipping box, adding a special personal touch that helps customers remember you. Please do not include your contact info or a URL. This information could create confusion for follow-up customer service.
Thank you so much for choosing "guess what?" to be a part of your special occasion. I'm absolutely thrilled and honored, and I look forward to helping you celebrate many more of life's special moments! Take care! Lori

Dear Customer,
From,
Please write a short statement about where you call home and what inspires you as an artist. (Limited to 275 characters or less). This note will be displayed to customers on the product details page of your art prints on the Minted website.
Sample: Annie Clark approaches her art with a graphic designer's eye. A long-time resident of the Mission in San Francisco, she is constantly inspired by the diverse color and texture of her neighborhood.
Lori James is a designer/artist who feels very blessed to call Hawaii her home. Born and raised in the islands, she grew up with a unique blend of cultural and ethnic diversity, which cultivated her love for all art forms and ultimately lent itself to her eclectic style.
Please write a short note to customers who purchase your art prints. Every Minted Art Print will come with a special folded card that includes your picture and a thank you from the artist, adding a special personal touch that helps customers remember you and your artwork. This is separate from the Thank You Note above and is important to position the art piece as a high-end piece with credibility.
To help us prepare your special card, please make sure that the image of you on the site is a photograph, not a logo, and please draft a thank you note to customers, limiting yourself to 150 characters. No words will be added to your statement, so your statement should be written in its entirety, including your name. Please do not include your contact info or a URL. This information could create confusion for follow-up customer service.
Sample: Hello! I am so honored you chose my artwork to hang in your home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have in making it. Best to you, Annie
Hi! Thank you so much for giving my artwork a happy new home! I'm absolutely thrilled and honored, and I hope it brings you much joy! Cheers, Lori

By the way, my good friend Sarah Curry might come out to visit sometime this summer (maybe to check out/help me out with the Hale'iwa Arts Festival? I think she said she mentioned it to you at one point), so if that happens maybe we should make a little mini meet-up! :)

Hi Lori - Thanks for the nice comment :)
And! I should add that I know I've said this before, but I was particularly taken by the recent work from your collection I was enjoying yesterday :)
Hi Lori! I was just looking at all your fantastic work and wanted to say hello. You've got such a beautiful sensitivity to great typographic combinations and color mixes and on top of that are quite the illustrator! I didn't want to leave without letting you know that you are inspiring :)
Hi Lori! I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for "liking" my "Dotty Frame" save the date design. I am always so flattered and pleasantly surprised when other designers like my work, and all the more so when it's a designer who I admire so much! Your work is really lovely.
Thank you so much for your lovely words, Lori. Hope We will get a chance to meet someday!

Hi Lori - did you submit in the wedding challenge? ;) phrosné
Hey Lori! I don't know if you saw the note I left on my Kraft Florals design, but I wanted to make sure to thank you directly for your advice on the non-script "and." It was a small edit that made a huge difference (at least for me :)). Thanks again for being such a sweetheart! :)
Hi Lori thanks so much for your encouraging comment on my Simple Sea Breeze design. It really is a compliment, I admire your work so much! Take care, Phrosné
Lori! Thank you so much for your sweet note and big congratulations to you as well! You have been such a great source of encouragement ever since I found Minted and I have appreciated it so much. I of course adore your work and hope we get to meet someday at a Minted event!! xoxo
Thank you so much for your comment on "Celebrate Love" Lori! It means so much to hear from an awesome designer like yourself! Hopefully we'll get to see some of your awesomeness brought to the current wedding challenge! :)
Thank your Lori for your sweet comment on "Frolic" :) I love all your designs - your illustrations have a great feel to them, plus and I'm rooting for your "Double Happiness Seal"!!
Hi Lori! Just wanted to say that I love your new profile pic and your gorgeous new website!! It makes me want to redesign my website, but I can't stomach the thought right now... too much work. I hope you are doing well - Take care!
Thanks so much for your note Lori, I really appreciate it; especially as I'm so new. It's so lovely to be supported&welcomed from the word go! argh, love this place! Good luck with your lovely designs!
Lori, you made my day with such a nice comment! Thank you! I am sure a bunch of wins are coming your way shortly, you are such a great designer! have a nice Sunday! Maria
Hi Lori, thanks so much for your very sweet note! You are so talented and I always love and look forward to everything you submit. You are an inspiration and your encouraging words were one of the reasons why I stuck around here. I am glad I did and I feel like I improve and find my voice with each challenge. Stay inspired!! Oh, and I hate getting my photo taken too and I'm married to a photographer!
:-))
Oh, and I love your new photo! :-)
Awwwe, thank you Lori!! It means so much to me that you like my designs cause you're one of my minted idols! 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! Good luck with all the (hopefully) upcoming announcements, I'm sure you'll be swamped with file requests :-))
like you new photo, Lori!
Thanks for the sweet note! I love your work!

Awww, you're so sweet, Lori - thanks for your nice comments! I hope you're right (about some awards)!!! Your entries are fabulous, as always! :)
Hi Lori! Thanks so much for your comment on "Giving"! And I'm sure if you did a design with a wood grain background it would be fantastic!

Lore, thank you for the kind words on my baby shower invite. Your designs are amazing :)
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! :)
Thanks so much for the fun comment you left on riding hood. I'm so over the princess thing. :) Loooove your work!
Thanks for spoiling me with all of your sweet comments yesterday!! It's nice to have you back - I miss your kind presence here! : )
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me that you took the time to read the story of my ballerina paintings. You do amazing work so I am honored that you like them - Thanks so much :)
oh uh.. and congrats on ur win!
