Hi Sarah, I wanted to tell you that I love your design for the coffee or cocktails for two greeting card design. That was my copy - it was accidentally credited to 2birdstone (Minted knows about it), but you designed it perfectly. I couldn't seem to quite get it together and I came up with something totally different. However, you nailed it - great job and I hope it wins. :-) Best of luck in the Holiday challenges too. You always have beautiful work. Cheers!

Thank you so much Sarah for your help in this Birth Announcement challenge. I've been uninspired & birth announcements always seem tricky,especially doing justice to those adorable babies. I especially wanted to let you know that I tried hard on working on my Dapper Dude design but I was stuck so I killed it! :( Thanks again for being so helpful. Your work is so lovely & your daughter is so very adorable :)
