Hi Carol Thank you very much for your sweet comments on Bundle of Joy and my works! I love your work so much!
Hi Carol, if you're still on here and not busy do you mind checking out my updated version of Love Letters? I added the exclamation back in but with a space now between it and the O. I'm wondering if it helps balance the bottom right corner, or in your opinion if you think it's unnecessary / busy? Thanks again and if you don't get this, no sweat!
Hi Carol! Thanks for your advice, I think you're right about the exclamation point looking like and L – I added an option without it for a poll. I love the colors and texture in your submissions they're so pretty!
Hugs back to you Carol. I hope some day I get to meet you!

Rusty??? Are you kidding? They are great. I think we all are a little Holiday crazed. :)
Thank you so much Carol for your like! Love your designs and wish you the best of luck in the Holiday entries!
Thank you so so much Carol for your wonderful words on my Royal Guard art piece,it's overwhelming and still unbelievable but I truly appreciate all the love & support this wonderful (understated word) community has given me :) I still have to look at the winning designs,I have too many things on my plate now, (which is life as it happens...) I wish you good luck for Holiday. Thank you for being so supportive :) <3
Hi Carol, I used Baskerville for now, part of my challenge is to use fonts I already have or can download without a fee. I wanted something close to Mrs. Eaves, and not being familiar with it, the closest looked like Baskerville. I do like the new template and layout, background a soft off white--suggested by another minted artist previously. If this is closer, great. If not, give me a shoulder tap ... many many thanks.
Thank you Carol, these are most welcome suggestions on my design for that something extra--pow and punch. Good deal!
Carol, thanks so much for taking the time to look that design over again. I owe you big time! I did actually have that other baby in my kit, but after staring and staring and staring, I ended up sticking with the original baby because I just can't resist him ;) Thanks so much for all your help and feedback. I feel like I owe you commission if that one happens to get a pick!
I should clarify, too. The part that is giving me the most trouble is the "I'm too excited to" or "I'm much too excited to" line. I added in much so that "too excited to" could go together on a line, but it looks a little long. Would it be better with the break like this: "I'm too/excited to"? I kind of felt like "too" and "excited" should be on the same line. Also, this comment is getting so long haha. Thanks :)
Carol, your wording advice was invaluable on my Christmas Every Day design! I can't thank you enough. I made some changes and hope it reads better. Those lines sure are a bugger to split nicely! If you ever have a second, I'd love for you to take a final look! Thanks again. http://www.minted.com/design-rating/608874
Carol, the changes look great! I am so happy you feel my suggestions helped ;) I do have one more idea... would you consider changing the border to foil and possibly having the stars touch the border. Similar to the style Kristy did in this design...http://www.minted.com/design-rating/592974
Just wondering about switching over to gold foil submissions, how did you do it? I know if you delete it, you will not be able to re-submit.
Hi Carol, Thanks for taking the advice. It looks better! Just wondering if you have consider continuing swash in the "l" ?
Hey Carol - The stars definitely caught my attention! I think they would look beautiful foil-pressed. I am more than happy to give some suggestions if you do decide to make changes... 1. ) might help to make the message more general since it will be sent to families. 2.) adjust the stars so they are centered on the card and even on all sides even if that means they will be cut off on the edges. 3.) maybe try a solid gold border to balance out the boldness of the stars. 4.) shrink up the white space by making the photo area a little longer and making the holiday message only 2 lines. I hope that helps ;) Please let me know if you need me to explain. Can't wait to see your non-foil designs. Haven't had a chance to go through all of those yet! Happy Designing!
Hey Carol! Thanks for much for your feedback! I've updated the copy and would love to know your opinion again if you have a minute. Thanks for all your help! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/606534
Just looking through your entries …..so many cool and creative and beautiful designs!!!
Hi Carol thank you very much for your great suggestions I was able to redesign in a circular diecut I could not get the square to work. I was wondering if you get a chance to take a quick peak and let me know what you think. Once again thank you so much for taking the time to offer such great advice:)
Hi Carol, thank you for the like! :)
Hey Carol! Thanks for the feedback on my wording in my "Christmas Every Day" entry. I've been really toying with the exact phrasing, so your comment really helped! I'll probably change it before the editing time is up :)
Hi Carol! I edit my comment, but I can't guarantee it makes more sense. LOL I'm bleary-eyed, too!
when i saw that there was a like for happy indeed it really made my day. All the best to you as well. Your designs are so beautiful.
Thank you so much for the likes on my Christmas card submissions, Carol! I truly appreciate it :)
Hi Carol I made some changes I love the font you suggested, I've never used it! If you get a chance to peek I would love to hear your thoughts. Once again thank you very much for you great advice.
Thanks, buddy! <3
Hi Carol thank you very much for your amazing suggestions! I will work on them tonight. This design has me struggling, so I really appreciate you taking the time to help. (Two cents ..more like gold) :)
Carol, thanks so much for your suggestion to use a darker navy blue for my 'Shine bright' design. Would love for you to have a second look, thanks ! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/571579
Ah, totally get not wanting to match the photos. I was matching more the foil, but I guess it would be pretty photo dependent wouldn't it. All your entries are looking fabulous btw! :)
Hi Carol, thank you for taking the time to comment.I really appreciate any input. xx
Thanks for your spacing tip on "Gospel of Peace", Carol. I think it feels better now. I have a poll up for photo choice, if you hae a minute. http://www.minted.com/design-rating/570005
Hi Carol, thank you for the help, I deeply appreciate your time and inspiration. Always love to see your work! Have fun with these the Challenges!
you should definitely submit the one you were working on!
Thanks so much, Carol, for your helpful suggestions on my "reJOYce" design! I may put "JOY" back into it and submit as foil, if I get a chance. I appreciate your feedback!
Hi Carol thank you very much for the like:)
Thank you so much for the helpful advice on my design. Made it so much better! :-)
Carol thank you so much for the advice on my design! I wish I had time to edit but I don't, but I agree with you ! I'm just glad I was able to sneak a few entries in. And an Anti-shower baby party is my kind of shower too!!! :)
