Thanks again, Leslie Ann for your spot on advice! That was nagging a bit at me as well. Your suggestion will work wonderfully!

Thanks so much for your feedback! I truly appreciate it. I edited my Holiday submission based on your advice to simplify it, and I'd really like to know what you think. Thanks again! Your feedback inspired me to keep at it, especially because you yourself are a great designer.

Hi Leslie. Thank you again for your feedback regarding my supergirl submission. I made some changes and if you have a moment, please check it out. I ended up using one font that is not on Minted's font list, so I realize that that could become an issue if my design is selected. Thank you.

Hi Leslie. No, your critique was not harsh. It was right on point. I need to get that type of honest feedback from other designers. I do struggle with typography and your feedback confirms that I really need to continue to try to improve it. I appreciate it!

Hey Leslie! Thank you so much, I truly love your design and think (hope) it is a solid top 20 win! I think full bleed photo designs are the most challenging designs and you made that one sing! Best wishes in this challenge and God bless! : ) jen

Leslie Ann! Gosh, the Internet IS a small world. I never thought I'd run into someone I knew on here. I didn't know you did graphic design! I'm just now branching out beyond the nonprofit and business work that I've been doing for a long time, and I am really enjoying the creativity and talent that I get to see on here. I don't want to end up writing my WHOLE life story on here, but I did want to tell you - I'm engaged! Just got engaged in July...which makes this current challenge all the more interesting :)

Looks ke you'll have the baby and the holiday challenge results to look forward to! Keep us posted on all your baby news!

I hope the "trending now" column is a good indication for your French Flair design! It feels goo to get so many "likes" doesn't it? Good luck!

Hi Leslie. Thanks so much for the feedback. Yes, I just love love love Adios Script. I thought about the "r" & "u" issue as well... I just don't know. But I think I will definitely adjust the text on the banner. Again, really appreciate the feedback! :)

Hi, Leslie Ann! Thank you so much for taking the time to think of me and write such a sweet note on my page - made my day! :) Minted is such an amazing place to meet people and learn - neat how we all relate to people who were "newbies" at the same time as us! I checked out your blog - your daughter is so adorable! I need to take inspiration from you and start updating mine...thanks again for your super nice words! And good luck to you in upcoming challenges!

Leslie, I made some changes... do you mind checking out Version 2, 3, and the current one and sharing some feedback? I'm so stuck! Olivia told me she thought it was fine but I really don't want it to be too close to hers... If you have time, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much! :-) http://www.minted.com/design-rating/50848

Thanks for the comment Leslie! I think I might ask Olivia directly... the round family tree concept isn't really unique, but I definitely don't want it to be mistaken for another design! Thanks so much :-)

Thank you for the holiday card! It was nice to learn a little bit about you – I'm kicking myself for not personalizing mine this year. I also loved your envelope. Who did you use for printing? And finally, congrats on your little peanut!

Hey Leslie Ann! I didn't want to add to the forum post (since your post was a while ago already) but wanted to let you know that I've opened a Miller account since you've had such great things to say! Unfortunately though I cannot seem to upload any designs through their tools. I'm hoping their IT department can help out, cause I totally love the free overnight shipping :) Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I realized I don't have my contact info up there (just re-did site) so need to add. My email is amyfontes@gmail.com. I've been reading everyone's posts about everything and just trying to figure out what the "right" combination is for what I want to do and how much time (with kids) I have to do it. So many ways to skin a cat! :)

Hi Leslie Ann, I saw your post under "selling" on the forum and had a follow up question or two. One, when you offer envelope color of choice, do you just keep a stock of envelopes on hand? I'm in Vegas and we don't have a decent stationery store so I normally get mine through Paper Source...but I need lead time for ordering. I noticed you have a fast turn around so I was wondering how you handle envelopes. Also, I checked out Miller Lab and they seem more "photo" based...do they do invites and the like? Didn't see options for stationery paper. Thanks!
