Vote Early (and Often)!

Every year I really look forward to designing our family holiday card. Coming up with a new concept, searching for that perfect photo, realizing we don't have one where everybody looks good and then changing my concept to fit 3 different photos where the girls look, well, let's just say they look slightly better than if they brushed their hair with a pillow.

This year I jumped at the chance to design a few holiday cards for Minted. What's Minted, you say? (Or maybe you don't because they're pretty well known in the custom cards and announcements industry). Minted is an online store that features beautiful, customizable cards and announcements designed by talented graphic designers from around the globe. Would I love to be part of that community? You betcha.

The best part is that they supplied gorgeous family photos for me to work with—ones where everybody's eyes are open and no one has a double chin. I submitted 8 holiday designs for voting. Here's where you come in: If you're inclined to help me become a part of the Minted community you can vote for me! Here are my three favorite designs:
