It would be an understatement to say that the whole Minted team has been notebook crazy for the past couple months. It was so exciting to give our designers a whole new task and to see where you went with it! We were so impressed with the beautiful, modern, and completely unique designs that were the result. Take note of our Special Prize winners below!
Best design that can be given as a gift:
“Crosby Street” by Toast & Laurel
Megan of Toast & Laurel expertly blends classic and modern in this notebook design. We love the combination of preppy stripes with a fresh and bold color palette, which would surely please anyone who received this delightful design as a gift.

Best over-the-top pretty design:
“Fresh Flowers” by Three Kisses Studio
The details in Amy Fontes’ design are truly stunning. The intricate line work within the floral illustration lends an ethnic and organic quality to the illustration, while the bold colors keep it feeling modern.
Runner Ups: “Wedding Day Thank Yous” by Kristen Smith | “Le Jardin” by j. bartyn
Best design that incorporates a photo:
“Seasonal Stripes” by robin ott design
Designing with photos is no easy task, but Robin’s design makes it seem effortless. The tone on tone stripe pattern helps to frame the photo while a subtle overlayed texture blends it all together.
Runner Ups: “Thoughtful” by Betta | “Milestones” by Ana Gonzalez
Best design for a guy:
Bold colors and minimalism are executed perfectly in this design—and we love the nod to the Swiss Style of the 1950’s.
Runner Ups: “Etc.” by Two Ninjas | “City Blocks” by Kimberly Nicole | “Tipsy” by BelieveNotes
Best design for kids:
It’s hard to not be charmed by ERAY’s whimsical and retro inspired illustrations. The combination of the red and blue with a subtle texture gives this design a hand screen printed feel.
Runner Ups (from top left): “Sweet Baby Animal Pairs” by Alethea & Ruth | “Robots!” by Dawn Jasper | “Planets” by Tyler Tea | “Wisdom” by Griffinbell Studios | “Jonathan’s Funny Animals” by Tereza Šašinková Lukášová | “Boldly Noted” by Mandy Gordon

This design is perfect for recording family memories. The type feels bold and playful while a fresh color palette and clean layout keep the design modern.
