Hey Kristie, just wanted to say how much your kind compliment about my birthday designs meant to me - thank you!!
Wow Kristie I always think this but i just want to stop by to say how i admire your work. It is always, always imPECcable. You have such a perfect talent for immaculate symmetry and constraint, I admire it so! You know exactly when the design is prefect and there is never any design input needed. At all. Ever.
Thank you SO much for your comment Kristie. You are a huge design idol of mine, so it means so much to me! Early Blooms and Rustic Charm are stunners as usual. Congrats back to you! And, many heartfelt thanks!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment about my save the dates. You made my day. Let's hope you're right, lol. Fingers crossed. Your are lovely as always. I'm such a big fan :)
Glad my comment made your day! Just when I think that florals can't get any better, you deliver that gem :) Your other STD's are stunning too!
Congrats on your top ten win, Kristie! So well-deserved!
Congratulations on your minibook wins! I really loved Vintage Vogue!
Hi Kristie, thanks for letting me know. They are similar to some extent but yours is absolutely adorable in it's own way. It wouldn't seem fair to ask you to remove yours, it's not rare for designers to have similar ideas. Yours is way cuter by the way, wish I had more time to work on my own. :)
Thank you Kristie!! Just what i needed to hear re the Embellished entry! ;)
Aww, thanks, Kristie! You're so sweet!! :)
Yikes!! I just noticed I submitted a balloon design that's kind of similar to yours - with a child's birthdate in the balloons. I just saw yours for the first time today, and I was a little bummed because your design is way, waaaay cuter!! I wish I had seen it earlier because I definitely wouldn't have submitted mine. Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up and let you know I didn't copy your design. Love yours so much more!! :)
THANK YOU kris tie !! I'm so happy =D.. congrats on ur win as well.. ur one of my fav designers!.. i always look up and wait for what u come up next.. they are always so sophisticated!
Congrats on your wins - I love love love them!! :)
Congratulations Kristie!! xo
Aw Kristie - that makes my day!!! That is so sweet - I hope he enjoys it!!!
Hey Kristie!! Thanks for the super sweet comment - I have been feeling a bit down about my holiday submissions, lol - so it was really nice to hear - especially from you! You had a couple other designs that really stood out to me as big winners too, besides that peace design - I can't wait to see you knock this challenge out of the water! It was SO nice to finally meet you at NSS too - my fellow marching band geek!! :)
Hi Kristie!!! You're submissions are stunning as usual! :) So glad you made it to NSS. Looked like a wonderful time! As I side note, I just wanted to let you know that I've been working on a watercolor layout that may seem "inspired" by your peace on earth submission....so sorry!! BUT it's a poinsettia. If I still submit it, please, please don't think I was copying you. Pure coincidence, I promise. Heck, it probably won't be nearly as nice as yours but I still just wanted to give you the heads up. :)
Hey there, I'm so glad my comment helped! As much as I love going to the NSS, I felt stressed coming home knowing the challenge was well underway. You are a tremendous designer, so I know you'll be pumping out more winners left and right over the next two weeks : ) And I haven't forgotten that you will be submitting designs with your illustrator friend, so you're a double threat! : )
Congrats on your wins Kristie ! " Bookworm " is a work of art !
LOL I am such a bad speller. Thanks for seeing that! I must have been asleep :P
Congrats on your win and your upcoming trip, Kristie! Much deserved, very excited for you!
