Perfect. I'm comfortable just letting you take the art and running with it. Let me know the best way to get you the file. Thanks so much
Thank you Nam for taking the time to leave feedback. I have changed the script font and it sure does look alot better, thanks again I really appreciate it. Your work is beautiful:)!
Thank you so much for pointing out my mistake! This is my first holiday challenge, and I was very confused by holiday vs. religious. I thought they were at the same time. This was a huge help...I will remove my design for now.
Thanks so much, Nam, for the feedback on "Vivacious." I upped "Bridal" just a tad and it was exactly what it needed! I really appreciate it!
Thank you for the like, Nam!
Hi Nam, thank you so much for your nice comment! I love your work!

Thank you for your comments on my design "Bright Romance". I did some editing, and would love to know what you think.
Thank you, Nam, for the like! It is much appreciated. I enjoyed browsing all of your beautiful designs. Love your style! All the best!
Thank you touch Nam for the like! Love your designs and your 'like' means the world to me:-) Benita
Thanks for your kind words Nam! You have a beautiful style - best of luck for the holiday challenges.
Thank you so much for the like Nam!! :)
thanks for the like. All the best to you in the holiday challenges as well
Nam, that design was always in foil. I would love to switch to non-foil now that I see the red, but it's too late.
Sorry, me again. Thanks for making me stop and consider every facet of this design. I added the swash to the 'l' and I like it much for breaking up the negative space. I also enlarged and changed the photos so they would capture the spirit of " sharing love" instead of individual children. There's an all-red version in the comments section too. I think I might like that better than the foil. So thanks again, Nam, for nudging me in a better, more cohesive direction. I appreciate it and I owe you a drink in NYC! :-)
Nam, off the page or in a circular motion? I didn't consider it because so many other pieces of the swash and the top of the 'l' al bleed. . thought it would be too much. But I can certainly try it!
Hi Nam, thanks for stopping by my Tis the Season design to comment. I really appreciate it. I didn't want to change the copy line because it has more universal appeal right now, but I changed the type to work in the negative space more. Please pop over if you have a minute and see what you think. Thanks always. See you soon, I hope! xo, C http://www.minted.com/design-rating/607516
Thanks so much Nam!!!
Hi Nam! Thank you so much for your kind note about on my 'Heritage' design, so sweet of you :) Your designs are always stunning!
Nam! Thank you so much! Your designs have earned my likes—they are always spot on! Wishing you so much luck in this crazy challenge too. And, I don't know if I can teach a class. It would be so much work to put it all together. But, thank you. xo
Thank you for polling in my GeoKnit design, Nam :) I tried out a navy background as per your suggestion and now I'm *really* at a loss because I like them all! Oiii. If you get the chance, I'd love to know your thoughts on the darker blue. Thanks!
Your note put the biggest smile on my face! Of course I would like your designs - they are all fantastic! Your entries are always flawless, Nam. :) Sending big hugs your way!
Thank you for your nice note, Nam! I'm a great admirer of your work! Good luck to you as well! :)

Hi Nan thanks so much for your nice comment:) I love your work!! Small world I live in Richmond Hill! A Canadian Mintie meetup would be amazing after the Christmas madness let's plan that:)
Hi Nan I removed the foil it wasn't working for me. Just incase you go to take a look.
Hi Nam thank you very much for your feedback I made some changes and entered it in the foil challenge. If you possibly get a chance to take a peek and let me know what you think:)
Thanks Nam! That's exactly what that jesus is the best card needed!
It's a lovely new name! :) Can't wait to meet you in NY!

Thanks for your suggestions Nam! I think it definitely made the design stronger :) I really love your "Watercolor Pine Wreath" design. So clever with the ribbon into the text.

NAMMMM! I took your advice on my "Bundled Joy" submission and converted the design into a baby announcement. If you have a moment, I'd appreciate it if you took a peek to let me know if you think it is any stronger: http://www.minted.com/design-rating/93710 Thank you so much for your continuous feedback and all of your help, it does not go unnoticed! :)
hi Nam, thank you so much for the generous compliment on my work...there are so many amazing designs on Minted...i'm just happy i could be a part of this :) thanks again!
Just seeing you comment now... not sure how I missed it :) Thanks for the welcome. I have taken a bit of a break but have been especially motivated lately to submit more designs. I always enjoy your submissions - you are among the designers that can only hope my designs could ever compare to. Thanks again for the encouragement!
Hi Nam, Just wondering if you could help me out. I submitted a design in the Journal Challenge based off of my stationary submission. I have been looking through designs and now think that I might be too close to yours! Can you let me know if you feel the same way? I still have time to change a few things... Thanks so much! Here is the link to it http://www.minted.com/design-rating/67040?filter=all&sort=createat Yvette
Nam, thanks for all the advice I love my design even more!! I super appreciate it!!
Nam, thanks so much for your congratulations on my "adventurer" design. I appreciate the kind words. I'm also in complete shock! :)
