My name is Monica and I am honored to be a part of this amazing community. I earned a Fine Arts degree in college but my true creative love has become graphic design. I have enjoyed designing cards since I was a little girl and, like many other Minties, I discovered a genuine passion for stationery and all things paper while planning my wedding.

Hi there Monica I just wanted to say thanks for the poll. All the best in the challenges. I love the way you do your design it has a subtle but yet a beautiful presence.

P.S: sorry for the late reply,I had Spring Break going on for my kiddos,so was busy keeping them busy & spring cleaning ;)

hi monica, thanks so much for commenting on my "one of their own" design. I was actually thinking of killing that one because it wasn't strong. I will give it more thought. thanks for commenting though, it gives me reason to try harder!

Monica, what a sweet message! So kind of you to say that. Really made my day! We've come a long way since those first steps! You have really blossomed and come into your own. Your work is so recognizable. I am still exploring, ha, ha! I am a slow learner! Good luck in the challenge - loving all your designs!

Hey Monica Congrats. baby must be keeping you busy these days . but so good to see you back in action :)
Hi Monica, your advice was spot on. Thank you!
Thanks, Monica!! :)
Hi Monica, Well that design started life as Asterism and morphed into Dasha which is now one of my favorites. Lower case very effective too. Glad you like it now go buy Dasha.
Thank you so much for the nice comment Monica =) I haven't had much time to comment lately but wanted to say your work has been so beautiful! I love it every time :)
Hi Monica, thanks for your sweet message on hooray, hooray. I can see what you mean about the lemon reading a bit somber. when you say "festive" what do you mean exactly? I will give it a try - have been struggling with this design for a couple of days. Thanks!!!!
Haha, I'm glad you got it, it's totally a take on that Seinfeld episode, I was wondering if anyone would get that;)
Thanks for the sweet comment, Monica - you made my day!
Hi, thank you so much for your sweet note! It means so much coming from you... and right back at ya, as I am a HUGE fan of your style and work :)
Thanks for your sweet comment Monica! And congrats on your holiday picks as well!
wow, that's so sweet of you to say that, monica! I guess I'm feeling a bit prolific in this challenge because I am a hopeless romantic, ha, ha! always love and admire your work and loving your submissions as well!!
how sweet are you! thank you Monica, means so much coming from you :)
I just needed a new power cord so good to go. I made some changes. if you get a chance let me what you think. Thanks so much for the advice. :) Chris http://www.minted.com/design-rating/107073
Thank you for you comment Monica. My Mac died so I have to wait to make changes but totally agree with you and Danielle. :)
Did not want to put on your design entry page - How about a more 'generic' color for voting instead of the orange? I do love it and it is so you (the bold colors - stunning!), but i think purely for voting purposes the audience might still want to see something a tiny bit more traditional with the soft green. Just a thought - and please dont do it if you dont want to :) x
Monica, it is still a great design. Good luck!
Thanks Monica!
Congrats Monica on your minibook win. Such a nice design. Chris
Hi Monica! It hasn't been selected... yet? Fingers crossed. Thanks for the nice words! :)

thanks Mon!
Hahaha, thanks so much for your funny and sweet comment! I think I should say that more often, because I honestly sketched it as I was sketching logos for a client, and it was more promising then the logo sketches. So maybe tell yourself your finished, and boom, a few more ideas will come! : )
Thanks so much for your sweet note, Monica! I really appreciate it! Your submissions for this challenge are lovely as well! Best of luck as we round out this last week! :)
Thank you so much for your time Monica! I have 2 versions up now. Thanks again, I really appreciate it! :)
