Thanks so much Kelly :) :) you're just swell... your kind words and warmth always boost my confidence. Im looking at your picks and they're so beautiful! Wishing you tons of sales <3

Kelly congrats on your letterpress win.
You have some gorgeous wedding picks! Congratulations!
Hey friend! Thanks for the sweet comment you left me! I've been snooping through your holiday cards & I love them all! :)
Hi Kelly, thank you so much for all the likes! Much appreciated. Loving all your stunning save the date entries! All the best! :)
Hey Kelly, so happy to hear about that your file prep award!!!! saw it on the link. I soo wish i was there!!! anyways, woohoo for you!!!
Kelly it looks fine.....my eyes must be tricking me. At work now and a bigger screen and it is perfect!
Thanks for the feedback and insight on logo branding, Kelly!
Im completely in LOVE with your holiday designs, Kelly! they look so impeccably clean and aesthetically gorgeous. Your color combinations are killer too. its a complete visual treat :)))
Thanks for your comment Kelly on abstract joy! It was one of my favorite entries so I super appreciate it
Kelly, Saw you on the CMYK email minted sent out and thought I would message you. Nice to see someone from Vancouver doing so well with the challenges.
Oh shoot, I didn't realize that was one of the issues, but that makes sense that it's tough to find photos that match the colors in A! I just really love those colors and it looks so great as is. Don't forget that you'll be able to make numerous colorways so you could have more muted options to reach more consumers. Either direction you go, it's a great design, good luck!!
Thanks for the feedback, Kelly! I'm adjusting that font.
Thanks for your feedback! I added a new poll new poll with your suggestion :)
Loving all your save the date designs Kelly! Seriously, they are ALL so good! <3
Thank you so much Kelli for the like of my designs "A winter soiree" and "A glittering 2018" Your designs are lovely! :-)
Thanks for the likes today, Kelly! I love your designs. I think your Misty mountain range wedding invite is an all-time favorite for me! Good luck in all the holiday challenges!
Only a pleasure! Alll the best!
Hi Kelly I just wanted to say thank you very much for the likes! (Not sure if you got my message on FB). Have a great weekend:)
Kelly! You are so sweet! Thank you so much!
I know exactly what you mean..I'm not either, it feels like we were just there!! Thanks again Kelly and have a great night :)
Hi Kelly Thank you very much:) I love both of your beautiful entries! I guess you are busy preparing for holiday…can you believe its that time already?
Hi Kelly! Just wanted to pop in to say congrats on the Collection Award for Gilded Crest! Such a delicately beautiful design! :)
Hey Kelly!! Thank you so so much for the congrats! BIG CONGRATS to you too! Love all of your amazing wins!
I also probably said a HUGE congrats on all your wins!! I just looked at the list again - you KILLED it! I was going through my likes and clicked that and was stunned to see, but, yeah, I think you're doing OK ;) And thanks :)
Thanks so much, Kelly! Too kind of you. Congrats on your wins! That Marble Foil is just perfect.
Right back at you Kelly. :) And my very favorite is Coastal Nights. Love the depth. Very cool.
Yes I agree its worth looking into!! Maybe I will eventually love the iPad but have to spend the time learning ....and I'm still learning illustrator!! :) I so wish there was more time in a day:)
Yes we are a lot alike I do the same thing!!I think I would love the iPad if I could transfer my illustrator files back and forth!! But I don't think you can you should ask on FB I know some of the designers just love it! If I could go back I probably would have invested in a Wacom Cintiq!!
Omg I'm typing without my glasses lol sorry ;(
Hi Kelly your Gilded Ikat if one of my favorited also! I haven't finished looking through all you your gorgeous designs but the ones I have seen so far are just beautiful!1 As for the iPad and pencil I have one but I'm still not using it yet! i see other designers creating amazing thinks with it....but I think I take longer to learn new things haha!! I still just use my Wacom tablet and illustrator :) Thanks for the nice message!!
Thanks for the kind words, Kelly! Much appreciated! :) You have so many stunning wedding entries!! Incredible work! Wishing you luck in the challenge, but I know you have some winners in there!!
Thanks for all the helpful feedback Kelly! Changed my Parisian Storybook submission to a light grey colour and I feel like that did the trick. So happy now. :) Thank you, thank you, thank you! And good luck with all your submissions.
Thank you Kelly! ..and a BIG congratulations to you as well! So well deserved!!
Thanks for your helpful feedback on my Handdrawn Dots design! I'm into everything black and white too! Best of luck in the challenge and have nice weekend! :)
Thanks for the kind words on my win Kelly! <3 Means so much from you.
Thank you for the likes Kelly! I appreciate your support! Best of luck!
Hi Kelly, thank you so much for your feedback on my O Night Divine entry. I went into a new direction and painted a background, but I kept the snow-- it's just foiled now. Thank you for taking the time to leave such valuable feedback. Best of luck in the challenge!
Hi Kelly, thanks so much for your feedback on my Three Kings design. I have switched it over to a foil submission based on feedback. Appreciate your help! :)
Hi Kelly, thanks so much for leaving me that really nice comment on my "peaceful greetings" holiday submission, I really appreciate it!!! Your work is just gorgeous! Thanks again! Monica :)
Hi Kelly! Thank you so so much for all your likes on my holiday photo card submissions. I love your work and it's such an encouragement to see that you like my designs! Thank you and best of luck to you! :)

Thank you kelly for liking my entry :)
Thanks for your comments on my peppermint design! I was so torn about the background b/c I love the crisp white but I totally agree it feels disjointed from the photos. I'm still debating whether I should save this for a non-photo design :-/
Can't wait to see what you come up with. :)
OK, I have the revised poll up - LMK what you think when you have time. Thanks!
That's encouraging for sure! I was surprised it didn't place for wedding b/c it had so many likes, but whatever. It's good to know there's hope yet ;)
Thanks, Kelly! Well the design didn't win wedding, and it didn't win in Birth, so who knows - maybe it will in Christmas with your tips for improvement ;) Working on that after dinner :)
Hey Kelly! Thanks so much for the awesome feedback about the swirls design. That makes sense re: shifting and I'll adjust accordingly. All these little things, right?
Kelly thanks for the thoughtful comments about foil or no. I have already switched from one challenge to the other twice and just not sure it has enough foil to get a pick in that challenge so I love your idea of adding it in comments. Thanks again!
Wowee, thanks so much for your likes on our designs! YAY! Best of luck to you too!
Thank you for your sweet comment, Kelly! I worked really, really hard on that design so it means a lot :)
Thank you for your kind comment :) your entries for the religious challenge are beautiful - can't wait to see what you come up with for the rest of the holiday challenges!
Thanks for your insight, Kelly! Makes me glad I submitted two other colorways in faux foil now :)
Thanks so much Kelly for the congrats and for the help on the design. I'm so pumped!!!! Congrats on your win as well - love that one!
Thanks so much for the sweet note of congrats, Kelly! Congrats on your win, as well! I'm a big fan!! :)
Thanks for the helpful suggestions, Kelly! I swapped the photo for the welcome heart one. LMK what you think. I was trying to spruce it up more with the lines to add interest, thinking it was too plain on it's own. I appreciate your input!
Hi Kelly, thank you for the likes! I appreciate the support. Your graphics are wonderful...I especially love the ones with an Art Deco flair!
Thanks as always for the super helpful feedback Kelly!
You will be very busy!!!! But it's a good busy. :)

Hi Kelly, Just a little note to say that your wedding invite submissions are really really lovely!
Dear Kelly, thank you so much for your comment on my wedding invitation design, I really appreciate it! I prepared a poll showing my design in the square format and would be happy if you would check it out. Thanks!
Hi Kelly: Thanks so much for the great feedback! Those are indeed small bits of foil in the tree - I'm wrestling with whether that works or not. Also, thanks for the bit of feedback about the corners - I see what you mean, and will definitely work with those :) Happy Friday! -Meagan
