Hi Julie, Thank you for taking time to give me input on my design, I really appreciate it! I’m obsessed with white space too haha and I see what you mean about breathing room. I made the adjustment you suggested and I think it’s definitely an improvement. Jasmine

Dear Julie, Thank you so much for your comments. I was struggling last night to get things in before the deadline, and did try pairing the painted background with a B&W image... Nothing was looking right. I will try again tonight and see if it will work better. Thank you for your input. Really appreciate it, and, am so thankful :) Thank you for the Like also. Means a lot to me coming from you.

Hi Julie, Thank you for the very constructive comment on my Winter Bloom corporate holiday design.

Good luck with your beautiful submissions!

Thanks for that vote of confidence, Julie. I've struggled with holiday this year and you made me feel much better with your compliment!
Thanks Julie, I submitted this entry as non to start and was out of town until today and didn't have a chance to switch it to the foil challenge since that version polled the best.
I literally laughed out loud at your fun comment, Julie! Thanks so much for that bright spot in my day! :)
I forgot how much I love getting a witty comment from you! That was the BEST comment ever :) At first when I saw the beginning of the sentence about call the engineering team, I was afraid you were thinking my design would be an engineering nightmare! So thanks for making my day and for just being awesome :)

Thanks! :)

Hi again Julie, I would like to thank you for your suggestion on my Iftar invitation - to simplify it - it hurt a little but I have done it and I really like the new one - hope you can take a little look later on :)
Hello Julie, thank you for your comment and suggestion on my "Sweet macarons" and "Wood burning" my gut told me that it might be a bit too small but I wasn't sure at first :-D
Hey Julie, just wanted to come say thank you specifically to you for your nice comment on my winning design. I really appreciate it. I know it takes a lot of time to wish everyone, especially with a special message :) thank you.
Just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of your work -- Love everything you've created for the challenges especially the save the dates
Thank you for your kind comment, Julie. I think your work is fantastic! : )
I love your fabric submissions, Julie... Modern Math? Fantastic! Best of luck in the challenge!
hi Julie, thanks for the input on the canoe save the date design. If I kill the pun, do I need to say STD somewhere else then? what do you think? Thanks again.
Thanks Julie! I've had a few sleepless nights trying to figure out how to create textiles, repeats, colors ... ready to give up a few times. Your comments are just what a tired gal needs to hear : ) - ps: I am a huge fan. Your work is always amazing.
Hi Julie! Thank you so much for the sweet compliment! I appreciate your encouragement. I love your artwork! x
I want to see yours! I'm know it's awesome, you always have such clever amazing designs :)

Hi Julie! Thank you for your comment and suggestions! I liked the way the swashes fit into the corner, but based on your comment, I've got a poll with a few options!! Cheers!
You totally just made my day - thanks!
Hi Julie, thank you so much for your feedback on 'Sock Greeting'. I adjusted the layout a bit as suggested and has made the difference. If you get the chance, I'd love to hear what you think - I'm planning to tweak it around a bit and may have a poll again soon. Thank you once again! :)
Thank you so much for your feedback on my design "A Few of My Favorite Things!" I have revisited the color combinations and photo and would love your feedback again if you have a second. :) Thank you so much for all your help!!
You just made my WEEK! thank you lady!! :)
Thank you Julie for the comment. :)
you give the best compliments :) thank you!!
ha, ha, ha, Julie! that is too funny! I imagine if he is a hipster that it may be a hemp taffy, ha, ha!
Thanks for the kind words and constructive feedback, Julie. I don't know how I let that red type sneak up taller...as soon as you pointed it out, my eyes went nuts too ha! :) thanks again!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment! It made my day!
Danke, Julie, for your awesomely helpful comments! You'd make a great art director, or client interpreter ;) But you are so good at stationery, that we need you here :)
Julie, thanks for your sweet comments. Your awe.some. comment made me laugh :) I'm always a fan of your work!
Thank you for the awesome comment! Made my day. :)
Hi Julie, thank you for your feedback on my Delicate Quince! I tweaked the font spacing and background color to have the text standing up a bit more. Love your designs! - Ana
Thank you Julie for your kind feedback on my "Bold & Bright" entry. I did play around with the leaves & I hope it looks better. As far as the type is concerned, I didn't space around the commas as initially I had & it was too spaced out & even playing with kerning was not visually appealing. ( I hope make sense) Nevertheless, I did go back & change it,so if you could find time,please have a look at it & let me know how it feels. Thanks again! :)
You always give the nicest, most thoughtful feedback- Julie- thank you! Love your work. -s
I"m jealous of ALL of your designs :)
Totally agree with your comments on Chapel... when I came up with the idea, the names were bigger on a banner over the bike, but it just didn't work out. I thought it seemed more STD as well, and was going to hold off submitting, but then I thought I'd just throw it up there and see what happens. I might take it back down. So frustrating when things don't turn out how you see them in your head ;)
Hi Julie! Thank you very much for the wonderful and lovely comment. I will do on the spacing, will submit it later.
Julie, thanks so much for your kind words! Means a lot coming from you.
Thanks for the kind words on my "Shake, Rattle, Play" design, Julie! As someone who is brand new to minted, I am constantly in admiration of all the fabulous designers like yourself - it is hard not to be a little bit intimidated. Your comment meant so much to me!
Wow… thank you for the best comment ever.
:) am Smiling Julie! Thanks for the comment... consider you a "superstar" and appreciate the encouragement!
