Can you believe it's April and I'm designing New Year's Cards for 2016 already?! I just moved cross-country (from Cali to Philly) and haven't even settled in yet, so I was really not ready for the holiday design season! But, I did find some last-minute inspiration and came up with a few entries to submit to Minted's New Year's challenge. Voting is now open for this contest until Monday, May 4th at 10am (Pacific Time). You can help me out by rating my designs on the gallery challenge page or just click on the links below. :)
