About Susan Asbill

I've been designing for the past 15 years and feel blessed to have a career that I love. Working on my daughter's birth announcement sparked an interest in stationery design and I've been hooked ever since. I'm so happy to have found the Minted community. Like other Minties, I love all things paper. Nothing excites me more than a beautifully designed book, a letterpress invitation in the mail or a gift wrapped in gorgeous paper... heaven!

Thanks, Susan - you are funny! Yes, it's initials...I uploaded this version right at the deadline, and realized later that it could be interpreted as something else! I would have changed the initials if it had gotten picked, just to be clear!!! :)

Thanks for your kind note, Susan! I understand busy - I should cut back on Minted and get more sleep, but I'm a little addicted! I'm sure Minted would not mind selling them under women's also - hope you sell lots! I did not get a request for Neapolitan...should I have? And, while I'm here, congrats on your Art wins - yay! :)

Susan - I posted a comment in reply to your comment on my "Undreamed Shores" submission, but then after I deleted it, realized you wouldn't be able to read it! I wanted to thank you for your comment because it made me go back and re-read the license agreement for the font the circle design was from (Darling Monograms by Tart Workshop) and realized I couldn't use it anyway. So, again, thank you!

Nah - anyone that grew up in the 70's could easily have thought to use that concept. And, actually, that note card challenge was during the voting for the notebook challenge and, after I entered that design, I noticed this design in the notebook challege: http://www.minted.com/design-rating/34577 and commented to Dawn that we must think alike. But thanks for your support, Susan - it's much appreciated! I understand the lack of time - I only have 1 in this time. Looking forward to the upcoming stationery challenge...

I worded that funny, but I meant "it's easier for me to win when my designs are not being compared to similar concepts by other great designers like yourself!" Apparently I need more than spellcheck :)

Awww - you're sweet! The design did not look like mine at all - I just do my best to stay away from what's already being done. It's easier to win when yours isn't being compared directly similar concepts by other great designers like yourself! :-) I was thinking about maybe trying to sell that neapolitan design in a non-personalized note card set...unless someone orders it before I get around to it! ;-)

Hi Susan! Thanks for the sweet note - I loved your cheerful card as well. I used Miller's recycled stock for my cards this year, and I printed the envelopes myself. From my experience, Miller's always does a beautiful job. Happiest of new years to you and yours!

Hi Susan, Happy New Year! I got your card as well, your baby is so cute, love it! Yes, the pic I used for my card was taken right before we got married in Hawaii two years ago. We didn't bring the furry kids with us, they were obviously photoshopped ;-) Good luck with the challenges - two more days and we're in for a marathon voting session :-)

Thank you for your comment, Susan! So sweet of you! :) Were the winning designs from the birth announcement challenge announced? I didn't receive an email... :(

You're welcome, Susan! And no, no entries for me this time around. We were actually on vacation for most of the entry period, and the creative juices just weren't flowing. I suppose they were on vacation too. Good luck to you!
