Hi, Dawn! I just read your comment about the photo-mount cards for the "cat card" that's up for critique. I think they are accepting non-photo in the Tall cards. Maybe double-check and make sure I'm right about that! :)

Hi Dawn! Thanks for your kind message! I highly recommend using the self-launch feature, especially if you have designs that weren’t selected from the challenges. One piece of advice I would give is to focus on using lots of descriptive search terms. Self-launched designs don’t get featured on the website as prominently as challenge winners, but if you use descriptive search terms, customers will have an easier time finding your products. I hope that helps. Thanks again, and best of luck to you!

Thanks for replying back! I'm glad you saw my note. My submission does not have a cat and mine is not in black in white. But it does involve a ball of yarn and the same name. I think they are both very cute in their own way. Best wishes.

Hi Dawn, I just saw your comment on my profile about the Savannah Cat, that is too funny & weird! Great minds clearly think alike. I appreciate you pointing it out though, I would have felt really nervous If I didn't see until after voting opened haha! Best of luck on your submissions! :)

Dawn, Thank you so much for the likes on my designs for the baby shower challenge. I really appreciate it. I absolutely love your illustrations!! ...Also, I grew up in Hobart, IN. Miss the midwest:) My cousin has an art gallery in Valpo. If you ever are there you should check it out. I send her cards to sell sometimes with local themes. Her shop is called ArtZ. Good luck in the challenges.

Hi Dawn, Thanks for commenting on my "Endless Mimosas" submissions. Sometimes my original submission ends up looking nothing like my final submission. I loved the idea of the copy and was initially happy when I submitted it. But after a day of looking it over, I felt something was off. So I tweaked it. Still felt a little off. And what I did, while completely different, now feels perfect to me. I didn't get a any feedback, just realized I could improve (at least to me it's an improvement). Sometimes I think just stepping away during the design process can be helpful. Also, sometimes I will just randomly get the idea in my head. In this case, that's what happened. Trust me, I have about 25 different versions of this one, lol. Hope that makes sense!
