Hi all. First off, I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July! I wanted to announce that the Minted Holiday Party Challenge is now open for voting. Since I’ve been busy these past few weeks I was only able to submit two designs, both of which I really love. A little bit of glitz and glam on these, perfect for the festive holiday. Please feel free to check them out and vote if you’re up for it.

And now for some good news I am excited to share. The winners have been announced for the Eye of the Beholder Challenge, and my photograph ‘Haunted Wood’ was an editor pick! I am so excited for my first win on Minted and couldn’t be happier. Soon it will be for sale on their website, how cool is that? I am so stoked!
