Hehe - love that you broke out the fingerpaints :) And no, I hadn't started on it yet (just had the idea jotted down but no work done on it yet). Another example of great minds thinking alike! :) I think yours turned out great.

Thanks for your help on my christmas bloom design, Kim! I tried the dotted border around the whole card but it gets a little lost at the bottom. Maybe a thin black border inside the white border around the photo will help bring it all together?? I'll work on it some more tonight :).

I love the purple and red combo too ;) It would look nice with the photo too since that's what the kids are wearing. You could always do one and just stick in the comments section lol. I think a purple/gold combo would look awesome too - but that could just be my christmas day lakers game tradition calling lol. The great thing about your simple designs is that they can be any color at all. I really need to learn to simplify and be more like you :)

HI Kim, Well I just saw your fabulous nursery print for sale and while I don't think it will matter I didn't realize you had named it "laurel" or I never would have called my recent one "sweet laurel." It doesn't look like mine will get legs so no worries but wanted to tell you. Great job--it will have mass appeal.

HUGE thanks for helping me get my foot out of my mouth.. i am so glad you understood what i meant and really appreciate you backing me up. talking on the web is fun but very frustrating at times, and your point just doesnt come across the way you intend sometimes.. and my use of sarcasm doesnt help that;).. Thanks!! ( thought i would come here instead of continuing the thread.)

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Kim! It's great to have a fellow Cincinnati mintie friend. I just got a chance to check out your work, and I love it! I'm still smiling from your "sole mates" card and your latest binary christmas cards are also favorites of mine. I'm always impressed with designers who can communicate so much personality and wit with restraint in a clean/modern aesthetic, and I see that strength throughout your work.

Thanks for your suggestion, Kim! You're always so helpful :) I think I rectified (at least one) color solution. I had tried the solid colored background & white design thing as you suggested prior to my initial upload, but wasn't finding a way to make it look good. It's a kind of "light" design and I just felt that it was overpowered that way. I'm hoping to find a way to bring multiple colors in! I still think it's a work in progress but definitely getting there!

Thanks for your sweet note on my profile, Kim. I really appreciate it. You are absolutely not the one lacking talent, either. And I know I need to submit a WHOLE lot more in order to ever get a win. I just have a tendency to get overwhelmed and intimidated very easily and I really need to work on not feeling that way and just put myself out there. Again, thanks! :)

Aw, Kim... thanks so much for all your positive comments. These wins and "losses" can be real highs and lows. Your suggestion for the shoe lace poster is SO smart! Thank you for going out of your way to think of me... it really means a ton. Congrats on all your great work lately! Keep being awesome. :)

Oooh that is a good theory about editors picks. I'm excited to hear more about their storefront idea. I'm hoping I have time to make it into their next conference call.

Love the etch-a-sketch idea!!! And now I really want my own mini one lol. There should be a few online versions of etch-a-sketch. Pretty sure ohioart.com has a flash application and if you sign up for an account you can print out your sketches :) Can you tell I do a lot of babysitting?

Thanks Kim! I was so excited about my wedding invites :) I ended up with four color ways only because I'm crazy indecisive and couldn't bring myself to cut one lol.

I was just having a look through all the new wedding designs that are available on Minted now. Sole Mates just cracks me up! You executed that so well. The whole collection is just great.

Dear Ms Kimberly, Congrats on your win. Funny I could tell it was a winner but not so lucky with my own which is what makes this so challenging. Keep up the good work Kim.

Ahh, just got your note... not so good about checking my profile page. I know what u mean about "working" on a direction. My winning designs have been the ones that I put the very least amount of time into. But we learn and hopefully improve along the way :) Keep up the good work!

Hey Kim, I just wanted to thank you for alerting me to the fact that I'd uploaded a design for a guy. Haha, I felt pretty silly that I was thinking this was also called mom, dads, and grads. D'oh! Thanks again and best of luck to you in the challenge! -Anna

Thanks for your response in the design critique thread! I do have to check the border spacing. I run CS3 (I know, I'm so for behind), and this template dropped out all the guides for some reason. :/ Anyway, thanks again for your helpful eye! -Jill
