A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being interviewed for the Meet a Mintie feature on Minted's blog, Julep. You can read the full interview here.
Thanks to Julie Norine (of Matt & Julie Weddings) for snapping the photos my office (and Marley) for me!
While I know every bride that comes through LC Fine Papers for their wedding invitations, the same can't be said for the brides that order my designs through Minted. I get a little email saying that someone, in some city, ordered a certain design, and I always wonder about who it is and what type of wedding they are having. So it is always a nice surprise when one of those weddings pop up on a blog and that's exactly what happened a few weeks ago on Snippet & Ink.
My Twine wedding invitation was used in Glenn and Jennifer's black tie wedding in New Mexico.
They had such gorgeous details! I love those flowers - which the bride did herself! Impressive.

It's the biggest holiday challenge of the year over at Minted, and my absolute favorite category to design for! I have been designing holiday cards since, well, last Christmas, and always breath a sign of relief when I submit my final design...
The competition is intense - with a record 3, 348 entries! I will be attempting to vote for every. single. one. but just voting on some will help Minted know what they should sell this year so head on over to vote!
Voting is now open for the latest Minted Challenge: Save the Dates. Anything wedding related is a favorite design category of mine, and I was able to submit several for consideration. Meet in the Middle, Effortless, Badge, Embellished, Love, Style and Pop of Color.
Vote here if you wish! Voting ends on Thursday!
Last week, a group of Dallas Minties, new and old, gathered at Times Ten Cellars for a little meet-up. It was the perfect, intimate setting for all of us to chat over some wine and cheese. There are actually a nice number of active Minted designers around Dallas, and we had a great turnout. It's hard to get everyone together at once, so when one night worked for everyone, it was just meant to be!
Minted sent me some t-shirts to pass out, so I tied them up with name tags and used them as a place card of sorts.
They also sent tons of samples, showing off their new holiday designs, triple thick paper and new die cut shapes. We all enjoyed admiring our fellow Minties' gorgeous work.
Here I am with our very own Mintie Mentor, Ann Gardner and Rebecca Bowen.
The whole group (clockwise from the front): Jill Efrussy of Stamped Paper Co., Annie Roche of 5by7 Designs, Susan Asbill, Ann Gardner, Me, Rebecca Bowen, Vivien Jordan of The Eclectic Press, Lesa Abney of Paper Nest by Lesa, and Abigail Luby of Chips and Salsa Designs.
Thanks to all the designers that came out! I am so grateful to be part of this design community. We all share the same passion for design (and obsession with Minted) and everyone is so kind and supportive. I feel like we all bonded and established some great friendships in just a few short hours. I'm already excited to plan for our next meet-up in the spring!
