PID # 933885 Submitted for Fast Track, this is geared more toward a girl. The flower on the card was made by the daughter of a friend of mine. Her daughter passed away and she holds on to this flower dearly. Designing the card was a way of letting Jenny's art continue on. This card is customizable.

PID#831900 already approved and available for purchase.

I see two of the cards up so far have incorrect spelling. Not being picky but these cards may get missed in a search. Cheryl

I know I am late and don't know how long after the request the fast track might be used. But I submitted #935986.
This card is not for sending on the birthday of a child (or a loved one) that passed away, but to send to the parents a year after the child passed away to let them know we understand their feelings.

Congratulations Sandra! LOVELY cards!

I have a question Mindy - I know there is much controversy over the use of the ellipsis and how it is displayed. I got a lot of my cards back because I preferred to look of no spaces such as Sandra used in her card: this: ...

But I've been asked when I used no spacing to correct it to this: . . . (spaces in between).

I'm curious because Sandra's card is obviously a new card and the no spaces between the dots was allowed (I prefer the look). So, I'm thinking I don't have the 'whole picture' yet on acceptable usage of the ellipsis, yet it's something I love to use Grin

Can you offer any thoughts on this subject?

Let me check with the punctuation powers that be and post back here.

Let me check with the punctuation powers that be and post back here.

The word is that we allow both spaces . . . and no spaces ... between the marks just as long as:
a) there are only 3 marks
b) there is a preceeding space when coming after a word ... OR trailing space when coming before a word. ... like this.

If there are cards in question you'd like us to take another look at please share pid#s. We will reinforce this standard with the entire review team.

Thank you for bringing this up.

Excellent and thank you! I'm good, no need to worry about cards of the past - I was just trying to wrap my mind around what was and was not acceptable ... and you've clarified it perfectly! Thanks a billion for taking the time to respond!
