Dear Customer,
From,
Hi Lehan, thank you so much for your like on my design Gallery! I truly appreciate your support. Love your work!
Hi Lehan, Congrats on your win. You have been really doing well and deservedly so but I'm really writing to say that as I was scrolling through the entries just now I see that I submitted a design that was for all practical purposes identical to one you had submitted including the photos. Unless yours was hidden my came in on the 7th just a day after yours. Yikes. I had no idea and I especially hope it didn't anger you. It was innocent on my part. So sorry anyway.
Hi Lehan, thank you so much for the Christmas card! Your children are so so adorable!! I hope you and your family had a great holiday and wish you a prosperous new year :)
Thank you for the nice comment, Lehan! Your page looks so lovely and you have some really sweet Valentine entries. I just love that little udon bowl! x
NO WAY! Haha that is too funny.... happy belated birthday to my Minted "twin" ~ cheers!
Thanks so much for your like on my Sunset Waves! I love your beautiful work. Good luck in the challenges!
Thank you so much for liking my "Turquoise Splash" painting Lehan!! xo, Hannah
Hi Lehan, Thank you for the like on Dreamy Clouds. Your graphic work is so beautiful. I am especially drawn to your blues! Good luck! - Courtney
Hi Lehan, thank you so much for your comment on my "Papercut Village" entry. It is very kind. Congrats on your win too! Oanh
i absolutely LOVE all of your baby shower invites. so unique, well themed and most wonderfully executed! :)
Thank you so much for the comment on my profile on my Marble Matrimony aware - LOVE your work! You are an inspiration :)
Thanks, Lehan! And congratulations to you on the Curvilinear Award and your beautiful wedding picks! Love your work!
Oh shoot! And I completely forgot to thank you for the holiday card you sent me-- your family is so darn cute :))) And man, the letterpress design is *gorgeous*! Happy New Year to you and your whole crew :)
Aww Lehan :) Thanks so much for the congrats! I seriously ran around my apartment like a crazy person when I found out (I know you know what I'm talking about LOL). And congrats to you on your Curvilinear Award as well! 'Wildflower' is such a stunner, lady :)
Hi Lehan, thank you for the Christmas card!! Your children are sooo adorable! Happy New Year :)
Yes, those branches and berries were done on the iPad pro! I didn't end up using any real paper, paint, pens for any of my entries in the holiday challenge! :)
Thanks for liking my entry. Much appreciated :)
Thanks for you sweet comments Lehan! xo
Thanks so much, Lehan! You're getting really close yourself :) I expect you'll be getting a bunch of baby shower picks!
Your baby shower entries are freaking amaze-balls! :) You're always amazing of course but just thought I'd send a little shoutout for these designs. Also thanks for not making feel like a crazy person for critiquing an already gorgeous piece lol.
Thank you so much for your comment. Congratulations to you as well :)
Hi Lehan thank you very much for the nice comment! Congratulations to you also! All of your entries were so stunning:)
Hi Lehan! I actually asked Minted about this and Rose said to submit my design to the challenge. So if you could please delete your comment I would appreciate it. I don't want anyone to read it and think that something is wrong with entering my design and then vote it lower. Thanks.
Thank you again, Lehan for your helpful comment! I thought they might be able to trap the letterpress area, but I guess that would be tricky in case the plates shifted. I took another look at the example they suggested and I didn't realize the top of the design had a gradient too. Thanks again for your help!
Thank you for your helpful comment, Lehan! I realized that right after I uploaded it. I just updated it with a different photo with the gradient. Thanks again for your insight!
Lehan! Your holiday submissions are AWESOME!!! I was glancing at them this morning...and am so envious! They all are stunning! GREAT! GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks Lehan for the tip! I'm squeezing in the final changes while getting ready for work and feeding the kids breakfast! Haha! :)
Hi Lehan! Thanks for the great feedback! I have such a hard time pairing fonts. :-/ I feel that my font library is lacking some of the most basic fonts so I've been searching online for them and added the ones you suggested. I'm still playing around with different ones and I hope I can get it right! I've also started looking more at some winning designs to see what works well (and sells!) and it's definitely helping. Thanks again for your invaluable suggestions!!!
Lehan, thanks for the great feedback. I made some changes based on your suggestions. If you have a chance let me know what you think. Thanks again! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/379834
Thanks for taking the time to make that suggestion on my design ... I like it much better without the tape now. Sometimes I just don't know when to stop adding stuff. :) Love your work, Lehan!
Thanks for your like on Winter Waves! I love your pattern designs.
Thanks, Lehan! I really appreciate your support and encouragement :)
I'm definitely looking forward to the result of the fabric challenge too! I've never submitted to anything other than art challenges, but honestly this was soooo tempting... maybe next time. ;)
Congrats on your 100+ wins, Lehan! Your work is amazing!
Great fabric submissions, Lehan! Good luck in the challenge! :)
Lehan - loving all your fabric design. I was scrolling through my likes to vote and you were a significant portion of them. Good luck!
Thanks Lehan and congrats again! You've been killing it lately! :)
Hi Lehan! Thank you for the very sweet message. Hope you and your family are doing great! :)
oooo lovely new photo!
Thanks so much for your response Lehan! I wanted to be sure of your thoughts on it, I might end up modifying the design a bit still :)
Ha! I don't know why, I just started messing with the type and changed it. I guess I'll have to try for about a happy medium then? :)
Hi Lehan! I just realized "La Vie en Rose" is a bit similar to your "Dramatic Winter Floral" with the black background and flower integration, I truly had forgotten seeing that design before. I will remove it altogether if you'd like or modify it so that it's different if you are at all uncomfortable, I do not want you to see it as a copy of your design, so please let me know what you think!
Your design is simple yet subtle that speaks. I like that it can be for many different things.
Lehan, thank you so much for your comment on my Diaper Cake Inv. I've made some changes, can you please take a look when you get a minute, thank you so much.
your entries are stunning!
Thanks Lehan!
Congratulations on your minibook wins! Dancing Snowflakes was one of my favorites!
Lehan, congrats on your terrific minibook wins! Love your work. Chris
Hi Lehan! Just have to say your submissions for this challenge are absolutely stunning. I love each one of them. Great job. :)
Lehan, your concept although similar, is such a different phrase and design execution, I would've never thought of it as being a competing design. I hope you feel the same way!
Lehan, thanks for your feedback! As a new Mintie, I really appreciate your time and comments. Chris
Thanks so much for your helpful comments!
No worries at all Lehan! That's why I didn't post it in the comments - I never want take away good energy from an already perfect design with a subjective suggestion. :) And I don't think I'll be able to whip-up a decent gingerbread house illustration, or a burnt one - that's funny. Maybe next year! I thought of it as we were traveling yesterday and knew it wasn't going to happen. I just enjoyed seeing that we sorta think alike. :) Have a great day & week ahead!
I seriously love your gingerbread house design! :) I wanted to suggest adding just a little dusting of snow around the bottom two corners to make it a little more festive.... I don't know if it would be too much or not?? You'll know best. :)
Hey Lehan! Thanks so much for your comment on my festive holly design. I made some changes (posted in the comments)... will you take a look and let me know what you think if you get a minute? Wondering if the new layout is better than my original. Thanks! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/84600
Hi Lehan! Thanks so much for the comment! Was it the starry night design you were talking about?
Thank you so much, Lehan! I am thrilled but reality hit when the file request e-mails came tonight ; ) I guess I should be careful what I wish for and when!
Thanks Lehan, I used Illustrator.
Hi Lehan! Thanks so much for the comment & help. I appreciated it very much.
Hey Lehan! Thanks for your comment on Headline Romance. I uploaded a couple variations from your suggestion and I wonder if you'd have a second to pop over and take another look?
HI Lehan! Thank you so much for your note! I definitely am not used to being on video chat so it really made me smile :) Congratulations on your special award for "Warmest Wishes!" I always love your work and that design is no exception!
Hi Lehan! Thank you so so much for commenting on my "Orange You Glad It's Christmas" card. I added a plaid bow per y and was hoping our suggestion and was hoping, if you have time, if I could get your opinion on the changes. thanks so much!!
Oh, also wanted to tell you that I ordered your 'Washi Love' for Mother's Day and it elicited some tears. Such a lovely and versatile design!
Lehan, thanks so much for your congratulations!!! I love your work and just really appreciate the kind words!
Lehan, thanks so much for your sweet comments on my designs! You are always so supportive and kind! It really means a lot when talented designers, like yourself, appreciate your work. Thanks again! I love all your work!! :)
No problem at all. Congrats on baby and good luck with house hunting :).
Thanks so much for the heads up on the shadows!!
congrats to you as well lehan! love your designs. -s
Hi Lehan! Thanks so much for your sweet note. I'm a huge fan of yours and continue to be amazed by your gorgeous work!
Congrats on your win, too! I was so disappointed at first cause I didn't see my name on the editors pick list and it wasn't in the (top 20) winner's list either. But when I re-read the email much later I saw that they picked the top 30! I never had a design rate in the top - yay :-))
Congrats on your win Lehan!
Hi Lehan- Thank you so much for your feedback on the Budmo. You confirmed my suspicion. If you get a chance, would you please take a look and see if it's better now? I also lightened up the background. I thought it was a little depressing for a baby's room. I really appreciate your feedback!!!
Thank you so much, Lehan! Many congrats to you as well- beautiful work!
THANKS so so much! The funny thing is my hair is even longer now...so I still don't look like my profile pic. Oh well. Will you be at NSS this year? It would be so so fun to meet you.
thank you so much, lehan! it's my very first win (not jury pick) so i'm super excited about that! congratulations on your win also! your designs are lovely!
thank you!!!! where do you view all the winning designs?
hi lehan! a belated note to say thank you so much for the adorable holiday card! i love your handlettering and illustrations, and you were so kind to write a note on the back. i look forward to seeing what you create this year!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Lehan -- it means so much. :) Congrats to you too! I always look forward to seeing your designs.
Thanks Lehan and congrats on your editor's picks as well! I love Linen Label, modern handwriting and fanciful florals : )
Thank you so much, Lehan! Congratulations to you, too, on your editor's picks!! Really beautiful designs! :)
Thank you so much for your comment about the rainboots. It`s great to get a nice assessment of such a good designer :-)
Hi Lehan, It was just brought to my attention that a design I entered into the current birthday challenge was very similar to one of your designs. After taking a look, I immediately removed mine from the competition. I am so sorry and hope that you aren't offended. I truely had no idea & feel awful. I was actually focused on texture & creating a layout that wasn't too predictable. Boy, did that go wrong! :) My original sketch had the title text above an angled pattern and throughout the process, I changed it to a knockout. I sincerely had no idea I was designing something so similar to yours. Again, I'm sorry.
Hey, Lehan! Thanks for your note - I really appreciate it! I figured if you felt there was an issue you'd have replied, which is why I left it in...but, I still felt weird about it anyway. I noticed the entry you mentioned, as well, and agree with you on the similarities. Thanks, again, for your reply!
Hey Lehan, thanks for your input on Vintage Gum ball. I made the revision you suggested and put the machine on top of the stripes. If you get a chance to revisit it let me know which you like better. I am undecided. Thanks again.
Lehan! I've got ur card last weekend! Thanks so much.. your newborn and lovely pets certainly make a nice family picture! :D
Thanks for your comment on "pens and pencils" Lehan! Actually, I chose Northwestern randomly, but going there makes you a smart cookie! Happy 2012!
Hi, Lehan! Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful holiday card - I LOVE the wooden snowflakes and the black envelopes. You have a beautiful family, too - what a great photo! And, thanks for your personal handwritten note - it was so thoughtful! Much happiness and continued success to you in 2012!
Loved your joyful card, Lehan! A moment like that captured in time and shared truly is heartwarming and brings a smile! Happy New Year!!!
Hi Lehan! Just wanted to thank you for your lovely holiday card (one of my favorite holiday cards at Minted)! What a beautiful family photo, too!! Thank you so much for your personal note, as well - that was so sweet of you! I've enjoyed getting to know you here at Minted, too, and I hope one day I can meet you in person! Hope you and your family are having a beautiful + blessed New Year, and I hope it's filled with lots of joy + success!! Cheers!! :)
Hi, I worked really late on this design last night like two in the morning. It's been brought to my attention I apparently was dreaming about one of your designs. http://www.minted.com/design-rating/44796 this is my design. I can't delete it because of voting but I am emailing minted to take it out. I just wanted to give you the heads up on how ridiculous I am.
Hi Lehan! Sorry for not replying sooner (I've been taking a bit of a much-needed break from the computer, design, etc.) Thanks for your note and I'm glad the card gave you a laugh! I received your card as well and LOVE it :) Your daugther is beautiful - I hope you are all doing well and Happy New Year!
Lehan, thanks so much for the holiday card. Your illustration and typography are both so great. LOVE!!! Your return address on the envelope was also a nice touch. Happy holidays... it's your first with your sweet little girl... how exciting!!
Thanks so much Lehan! I totally dig your retro design too! :)
Congratulations Lehan! Gorgeous Design!
Congrats on your win - I'm sure you will have a few more in the mix - I love all your submissions in the challenge.
thank you so much for your thoughtful note! that was so sweet of you. and i'm just reading right here on your messages that you just had a little girl too! C O N G R A T S ! you sure did submit some awesome designs to the wedding challenge to have just had a baby - not sure where you found the time. way to rock it out!
Thank you so much, Lehan! You're so sweet! And btw, I think you're incredibly talented and amazing, too! Congratulations on all your wins and editor's picks, too - in the holiday challenge and children's stationery challenge! I know you'll have more wins, too, when the wedding challenge is through. Your entries are terrific! Hope you and baby are doing well! :)
Lehan, your sweet note was the nicest message to wake up to today, so thank you, thank you!! I adore your style! You can go from romantic and feminine to fun to modern, and they all look amazing : ) I still don't know how you are able to design with a newborn - you deserve an award just for that : D Thanks again for making my day!
Thanks so much Lehan! Have to tell you, (from the holiday card comp), Jingling Script was one of my favorite entries!
Hi Lehan, I've been meaning to say congrats on your little girl!!! I'm so impressed with all your wedding submissions too - you go mamma! :) Take good care of yourself and that new little one!
