The Secret Minted Award

Remember this post? You should, it was just a few days ago.

Turns out the design did get an award, but I had no idea, hence it's like a secret win!

As it turns out, apparently the design DID get an award!

I'm always surprised (in a good way) by the designs that Minted picks for awards, this design however was particularly surprising to me since (1) it scored lower than the other designs I submitted,  (2) I was never notified by email of the win and (3) I didn't get the extra little "Jury's Pick" star next to my name on my Minted profile (minor, I know, but those stars mean a lot to us Minties). When I got the email from Minted (about an hour after my original post about NOT winning, how ironic!) I was in disbelief! I emailed Minted just to make sure they weren't mistaken. Nope, not a mistake.

The surprise Minted award made my whole week :)

Spotted!

Apparently my "Tipsy" design was a runner up for a the Minted Great Ideas Notebook Challenge! It may not have won, but I love seeing something of mine on their blog :)

The awesome thing about Minted is that if a design doesn't win, the designer is able to sell the design on their own. Pretty awesome, right? Maybe this will motivate me to get a line of notebooks ready for the holidays?! They'd make great gifts!!

Please vote for the Minted Great Ideas Notebook Challenge!

Minted just finished up yet another challenge! I know, they've been keeping us designers super busy with back-to-back-to-back challenges!

I submitted several designs for the Great Ideas Notebook Challenge, and would love if you could head over and vote. Don't just vote for me though, vote for as many designs as you'd like!

"French Trifle"

"Tipsy"

"I Forgot"

"Worth Writing"

"Parlor"

Head over to Minted and rate all the designs! I appreciate it greatly (as go all of the designers!)
