First of all - I LOVE your Sweet Laurel design!!! Second, I'm pretty sure I do own the name "laurel" (and yours is names "sweet" laurel, anyway!) so no worries!!! Good luck - I hope it wins something! And thanks for your kind words, as well!

So glad you got it! I've only had a design in one...but I didn't get it!! And only knew because Jennifer Wick emailed me - God bless her!!! Thanks for the info on your heart embellishment - I thought you drew it!!! Either way, it's beautiful!

Susan, thanks so much for your thoughtful note on my profile a little while ago. I don't know where time it going!! I'm so happy my vase design inspired your floral redux : ) See, that's a perfect example of inspiration because I would never have guessed since your style is so different and beautiful : ) I really hope your "where's Rudolph" design does well, and you other super designs!! Good luck and thanks for your kind words! : )

Hi, Susan! Hope you get more feedback on your flowers...is it me, or does it seem the Minties all have great weekend plans (other than sitting at their computer)..not as many comments going around this weekend as it seems there had been last week...

Hi, Susan! Thanks so much for your comment on my dish gloves (Loved) - I've decided to delete it b/c it just doesn't look good and I have no hopes of improving it enough to matter. But, I wanted to thank you - your help is so much appreciated! :)

Hi Susan. Thanks for your note. You can use any font as long as it's outlined and used as art. Editable text should be one of the "approved" Minted fonts.

Susan, thanks so much for the kind words! You made my day. I don't know about consistent quality though... I've certainly had my share of duds, lol. I was sad that your Botanicals didn't make it... I thought they were lovely and 5-worthy. You do minimalist with a touch of quirk very well. :)

Hi Susan! Sorry it was such a late comment - I was just thinking about that... if the challenge isn't in voting - you may be able to still go in and update your design. You just go to 'locked for voting' in the 'manage your designs' area - and if the edit button is still under the design, you can make whatever updates you need to. I figured this out only a few weeks ago thanks to another Mintie!

Hi Susan - I am more than happy to give you some suggestions on the font choices for your design. I really do love the simplicity of it and those florals are just perfect. I think the fonts you have chosen (Mrs. Eaves and Mr. Sheffield) do work for this design, but I would probably just use them in a different way. Do you have a personal email address that I could use? I want to send you 2 pdf's to demonstrate those changes. Much easier than trying to describe them on here. If you can contact me at info@oscaremma.com, I will respond back to you with those suggestions. Have a lovely day!

Hi Susan- I think the design works great as is, changing the hearts up a bit was just a thought :) Which direction you decide depends on whether you'd like the design to be more rustic/hand made or more modern.

Ah, now I get it. Thanks for the kind words, Susan! Yes, I have a great love for Matisse and beautiful, bold colors and patterns, but I also love tiny type and lots of details. I am quite the dichotomy, but this seems to be a great place to showcase that. Feel free to comment on any of my other submissions and hope you are back competing soon!

Susan, thank you, thank you for the nicest compliment I received in a while!! I'm really flattered that you like my work : ) Your wedding entries are really nice, especially Picnic Basket and We Do. I know these competitions can get really competitive and can take a toll on our emotions, so hang in there and keep trusting your design instincts! That's what I did and it turned out to be the turning point for me : )
