Congrats Lisa! I love your holiday picks! They are so clean and elegant!
Hi Lisa, I just saw your message! It was so very nice to have met you as well. Thank you for the kind wishes for the baby :) I hope we can stay in touch.
Thank you so much for the like on ”Sea of Love". You have several beautiful entries. Love the hand written fonts.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!! Good luck with your beautiful submissions!!
Thanks Lisa - I put a 10% thingy there (there was already a gaussian blur in the centre) but the new shadow has made all the difference :) there is one drawback with the photo - the vanishing lines to the side, which seem to show up the under/overlays on this light photo so I'm going to do a poll with 2 different photos tomorrow. Really appreciate your help!
Thank you so much Lisa for the like of my design "ethereal florals"! Love your stationary designs! I would use them personally:-)
Hi again Lisa - I have made a new version of this design using your suggestion of using the script for the names as the feature - thank you for pushing me to improve, I do appreciate your fine eye! I will put it in a poll tomorrow and look forward to seeing what you think - if you have time :)
Thanks Lisa it was kind of you to leave feedback on Delicate and Leafy :)
Hi Lisa - many thanks for your likes on my submissions - best wishes and good luck in the challenges - best - Amanda
Thank you so much for the likes. I love the dark red color of your entries.
Thank you so much Lisa for the like of my design Rejoice in winter greens". Love your stationary!:-)
Thank you!!
Thanks so much, for taking the time to comment. My entries are super crazy last minute designs, but I wanted to enter something.
Thanks so much for your helpful feedback on my "Nordic Christmas" card. I think you're right - going to try some new fonts for the family name. Love your work! I visited your website too - I own my own business as well, so it's always great to connect with another small biz owner on minted!
Hi Lisa and thanks for the like on "Winter Birds". It is always encouraging to be noticed among hundreds of good entries and somehow crazy to submit with hundreds of other great designers.
Hi Lisa, thank you for your likes, and again for the feedback. I appreciate it very much. Best wishes in the challenges!
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for your feedback on my design "Golden Tree". It was very helpful and I made the changes you suggested. Thanks again!
Thank you for helping me decide on my design "Winter birds". It was really pretty much 50:50 and I finally decided to go without the gold and just focus on the illustration. So hard, I am not good with decisions.
Hey Lisa! Thank you so much for your feedback and like on my entry "Sweet lamb"! I wondered when designing if it would be better on a straight line, but I didn't see your feedback until after critique closed to get a chance to try it:( Maybe next time:) BTW, Love "Airship"! It's so unique! All the best in the challenges:)
Hi Lisa! Thank you for your feedback on some of my entries, I really appreciate your input! Best of luck in the challenges!
Hi Lisa, thanks for your comment on my "Party Dino" submission! I had some of the same concerns as you raised initially, but I think it will be doable (And hopefully won't hinder customers at all in case the live preview doesn't work). I left a screenshot in the comments that shows how others designs handle personalization in cases where a live preview may not be doable. I'm crossing my fingers though :) Thanks again and best of luck! I admire your work!
Hi Lisa, thanks for your suggestion about creating a borderless option for my design "Bountiful Joy". I reworked the design and put up a new poll with the borderless as an option. Thanks so much for your feedback.
Thanks for the like on "Pool Fun". Hopefully there will be some pool weather soon.
No worries! People in the States can`t really pronounce my first name, since it has an "Umlaut", the o with two dots on top. : )
So happy about your comment and the win. I feel, like I am getting more a feel for things and learned so much from seeing others work how they use type and colors. By the way, my first name is Dörthe (like Dorothy). Frau means mrs. in German and I use it as my designer name, because kids from an art class call me frau brandt. Always love your work and humor and the avocado card!
Thank you for the like on "Floral Christmas". So great to wake up (9 h time difference to CA) and see likes on my design and that it was picked. Happy.
Thank you Lisa, for the likes on my entries. I went kind of crazy with the challenge and hope it is not done for nothing. Well, I'll see. I just love your avocado. My daughters husband loves avocado and so I always have some in the house.
Thanks Lisa!!
So random-- I just barely submitted a new design, and I was going to tell you I used your copy (!!) and up at the top, I saw you submitted the design right before me! haha. Good luck to us! Love that copy. Soooo accurate.
Aww, thanks so much, Lisa! You're the sweetest! xo
Thanks for the kind words, I so appreciate it!
Thanks again for the like on "Floral Love". Well, all the best now in the challenge.
Thank you for the like on "Gentle Love". Love your "animal alphabet" and wish you all the best in the challenge.
Thanks so much Lisa!
Lisa I really appreciate all the support you give me! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your thoughts and comments on my design "Floral love". There are so many different preferences. The poll shows A as favorite so far. It will be interesting to see what happens. In the end I have to make a decision, anyway. Thank you again for your support!
Thank you for the likes! I appreciate it. Your work is lovely.
Hi Lisa, Thank you for the likes on some of my submissions for the Large Format Art Print Challenge! Good luck in the Challenge!

Hello Lisa! Thanks so much for taking the time to like my most recent artwork for the new art challenge. It is very much appreciated. Best of luck and I especially like your "Light" photograph. Alison
Dear Lisa :) I missed your recommendation on submitting Pomegranate Lite Yogurt Petals -- had I known I would have done as you suggested, since I hadn't reached the 30-entry-limit yet. But, now that there's appeal to my petals, I shall create more to either self-launch or include in future challenges. Thank you once more, Lisa, for your encouraging support and morale-uplift :) Have a beautiful weekend :)

Thanks so much for your kind words Lisa! I loved your stationery entries, I'm a sucker for some blush and gold foil. So awesome to make a fellow Chicago Minted friend! Best of luck on all of your entries, no doubt you'll do great! :)
Thanks SO MUCH, Lisa, for the like on my "Watercolor Dreams Stripe" entry! All the Best in the recent challenges:)
Thank you so much Lisa for the like of my design Glittering Thanks! Your works is wonderful!:-)
Hi Lisa, Thank you for the feedback and help on Epic Ramblings. I appreciate your time! :)
Thank you Lisa for the feedback and pointing out that we can't do foil on notebooks. I read that and apparently forgot it, dang it! Also, your stationery submissions are beautiful, best of luck!
Thank you so much Lisa for the like of my design A glittering 2018! You have some lovely designs!:-)
Hi Lisa, I am so grateful for your helpful feedback on Pineapple Holiday - I spent so long working out how to do the foil and organising it that I just couldn't quite get the hierarchy in the right order - I think I didn't quite know what that even meant until you explained it. So thank you - I am really pleased with the end result, it's my best work for Minted yet - thanks to you and 2 others who helped me to find the confidence along the way, thank you :)
Thanks so much for liking my cactus fabric submission!! Best of luck to you in the challenge! :)
Thanks for having great copy to work with! I'm so glad it was chosen too, and that Minted credited you as the writer :)
Thank you for the like on my "Pebble Beach" pattern! Best of luck in the competition!
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for your like on my "Look at the Stars" polar bear design! Best of luck in the challenges.
Thank you SO much for the kind words & encouragement! I sincerely appreciate it. Love your entries & good luck in the challenge!
Thanks, Lisa, for your kind comments---best of luck to you as well! :)
Thanks so much for your like on my design "Ellis"! Good luck on the rest of this Holiday Madness!
Thankyou Lisa for your help on my Golden/Warm Wishes design. I was trying to go abstract or rather not too literal. Sometimes designs don't turn out to be well when digitally translated as opposed to our minds... ;) Good luck for Holiday!
p.s. Hi to a fellow Michigander :)
Thanks so much for letting me know about your coffee or cocktails copy! So sorry to hear it wasn't attributed to you correctly, I'm going to email Minted to see if there is anything I can do to correct my description/tags. Love that copy and your entries are so sweet - I especially love your "babysitter" card :) Good luck in the greeting card and holiday contests!
Hey there, thanks so much for picking one of my bitties out of all the great choices available :) It makes sense how you changes things up, I'll keep my fingers crossed for us!
Thank you!! Best of luck in the challenge!
Oh my, I love your copies! so fun and original! best of luck too!
