Exciting News! My art print, The Fields, came in 2nd place out of 835 submissions in the Minted Art: CALL FOR ENTRIES challenge. One of my highest scoring designs yet, which took me by complete surprise, but I'll take it! I love abstract fine art so this piece is very me. It will soon be available for purchase in a variety of sizes on minted.com.
I'm super excited to have 3 minibooks now available for sale on minted.com. I originally entered several designs into Minted's Lifestages Minibook Challenge and came out with 2 editor's picks and a winner. My Tropical Date minibook took 15th place – woohoo! This particular design was inspired by the tropical destination wedding I have always wanted. The minibook is an exclusive Minted product – a unique card format with chic grommet binding and tabbed pages. The minibooks I have for sale are intended to be used as wedding invitations or save the dates with fully customizable text and photos. I have also designed matching respond cards, thank you cards, skinnywrap labels and envelope liners that can be purchased in addition to my minibooks on minted.com.
