Hi Karly! Thanks for the likes...totally made my evening! Your work is amazing and such an inspiration. :)
thank you for just making my day :)
Yes, coffee sometime would be great...when you have time ; ) I know you'll have your hands full soon enough. How exciting though! I hope everything goes smoothly for you, the twins and your family. You'll have to post photos when they get here : )
Thank you so much, Karly! I L.O.V.E. you work! I'd love to meet you sometime if there's another Ohio meetup sometime or whatnot since we're both in Columbus.
Thank you oodles for the kindness on my smudged seasons series... I'm super happy people other than me like it! ;)
Such fun fabric entries, Karly! Snug Little Bugs is particularly adorable. :)
Hi Karly, thanks so much for your comment. I wanted to check in with you about my profile pic. You have such a good idea of adding text on the photo. I've updated mine to include my name, not the company name, b/c it kind of bothers me that people can't see my name when they click on my designs. It seems like you're the only one who's added text, and if it bothers you at all let me know and I will change it. Thanks! :-)
Hi Karly - I just came across a comment you left me way back in December! Thanks so much for choosing my wrapping paper. I hope your family liked it. Keep in touch!
Thank you for your constructive feedback on my "Green Thumbs" entry. :)
Hi Karly,I did make the changes on my Green Thumbs design,please have look at it when you find time :) Thanks!
My pleasure Karly! You do such awesome work! Very inspiring! :) Good Luck!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Karly - made my day! I was actually shocked that that design was so well-liked when I submitted it...if only I could predict these things. LOL
Karly - thanks so much! I'm a big fan of your Minted work, so that's really cool to know. Enjoy!
Karly - you made my day with your comment! Thanks! I absolutely LOVE your holiday collection, especially We Are Family - amazing! Have a great holiday season! :)

Hi Karly, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for making my day. My email is usually nothing spectacular but having 2 emails in there saying you liked one of my designs is amazing. You are such a talented artist that the fact you like anything I do.. well I feel like a winner, even if I don't make it to round two. So, thank you!!
Thanks so much Karly! Very sweet. We love love love your work!
Karly your comment on my designs made my day ! From such a talented designer it means a lot for me ! I am like everyone here a true fan of your beautiful tasty work, thank you! Cecile
Hi Karly! Thank you for your sweet comment! So nice to see your gorgeous designs at Minted again! Actually, I was gone for a couple years, too, and just started back last Fall. It's so neat that we were both here for the very first Minted Holiday challenge. We were part of their early beginnings! Anyway, you've always been one of those designers that everyone (including me) looks up to. You'r work is so impeccable, and you're always so gracious + kind! Thanks again!! Lori :)
Karly, I am a giant fan of you work (I am sure you have many of them :). I admire your designs and always anxiously await your new ones. -Ksenia
Wow, thank you Karly! You have set the bar very high on Minted with your gorgeous designs, so I really appreciate your compliments : ) hope to meet you one day!
It was so nice to meet you today, Karly! I am such a huge fan of your work - you have such a classic style. I was nervous and excited to meet some of my favorite stationery stars...and you are all as sweet as your designs - what a pleasure!
I'm so glad to get an email that you liked my florals in Picnic in the Park. I like them too but know the font isn't quite right. Are you comfortable taking another look and telling me what font you would have used? If too busy that's OK too. I love your work and was just studying the typography in your "barn" picture design. Perfect. Thanks again.
I keep forgetting to send you a message. Thank you for your lovely comment on one of my designs. I was thrilled to see it. Also, a big congratulations on all your Ed's pick for the Head Over Heals Challenge!
Oh my. :) I don't know what to say. Last year, I ordered the candy cane holiday card and loved it. I really wanted to send out another Oscar and Emma card this year and chose the Nordic Snowflake. I just got the proof and again, am so blown away. I know I put in some nitpicky customizations and I appreciate your patience and attention to detail. It is everything I could have asked for and more!
Hi Karly, not sure if your an official mentor but I would appreciate your design input on woodcut love. Your work is always stunning. Thank you.
Such beautiful work and such intricate details! As a newbie here I love admiring veterans designs such as yourself...so inspiring!
Hi Karly...I'm with Debb on the admiration of your work. I have to tell you that for me it is designers such as yourself that inspire people like me to fall in love with the industry. After seeing your work on Minted I can say with all sincerity that I am an Oscar and Emma fan!
Love your work! Good luck with "Head Over Heels".
Hi Karly! Thank you so much for your sweet comments! Totally made me smile! I think you're such an outstanding designer, so your feedback really means a lot to me! Hope you and baby are doing well! Best wishes!!! :)
Thanks so much for your kind comment on my design. Your website is beautiful! I love seeing how designers combine + display their custom work alongside their Minted products. Best wishes for all your designs in the challenge!!
Thank you Karly so much for your comment on Kick Off! My hope is the customer can choose any team color for the endzone (in this imaginary case it's rep'ing Nebraska w/ the red). Big sports fan (go Kansas! :) so it means the world if fellow fans would enjoy it too -- thanks again!
Hi Karly- thanks so much for your nice comment about my "sending holiday cheer" design - made my day! :) (I'm from Ohio originally too!)
Karly-Thank you so much for your nice comment! I really appreciate it and I am a huge fan of your work :)
Oh my, your daughters announcement was beautiful. every detail was thought thru. bravo

I just wanted to say thank you for commenting on my design. I had to do a double-take when I saw it was from Oscar & Emma. You are an amazing designer and I hope to achieve what you have with your career! Thank you for making my day!
Oh my goodness, Melanie! Thank you so much for your posting. I am so glad you had such a wonderful experience and love the design. You just put a huge smile on my face :) Wishing you a holiday season filled with lots of delicious goodies!
Just received my proof for the candy cane holiday card and I cannot say how perfect it is. :) This is my first experience ever with Minted and I could not have asked for a better one. Love the card, love the customization process, loved the proof. I am so pleased to be able to send out such a great card this year!

No worries Karly! BTW- I saw the sneak peak of the new O+E website on your blog...looks great!!
Karly, I wasn't expecting a reply anyway. I am hoping to find time to put into the current challenge—my family is sucking it all out of me. I love it though. I look forward to what you post this time. let me know and I will give any critique I can. Hope you will do the same for me. Just love your ideas.
