Hello Melissa, Thanks, it's been really hard and the competition is so strong. I was really disappointed with wedding with all the work I put into it. I had so many positive vibes :( ! I've been traveling with the start of Christmas so maybe now that I'm back I can get something there? :)!

Thanks for the feedback on my "Our World" announcement. I think you're right, I should just get rid of the bottom white bar and do a full bleed. I was just trying to do something different, since there are so many full bleed options. But that's probably because full bleed sells (wins).

Oh yeah, I've definitely submitted some things multiple times! It's amazing what some of the tweaks can do! My Modern Marble didn't get picked in Save the Date but after I tweaked the typography, it placed 30th in wedding which was a big surprise. I worried I was wasting my time with it, but it's my best seller now, so stick it out for sure!
