Designers are always thinking a few holidays ahead. Christmas, of course, is no exception. Sometimes I feel like we give a new meaning to the phrase, “Christmas in July”. For us, “Christmas” starts in May!

Having a little girl on the way definitely inspired all my entries in this years Minted Holiday Challenge. Since she’ll be here toward the end of October, I really like the idea of sending out a birth announcement/Christmas card with her on it.

There were 2,231 submissions in this years contest, and Minted narrowed it down to 700 for the voting rounds. I’m tickled pink to announce that all 5 of my entries made the cut!

I would be beyond thrilled if you could take a moment and vote for my designs! Each photo will take you directly to the voting page.

Thanks for the votes! xoxo
