Fab Freebie: We’ve Got An Announcement

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

Here’s our announcement: people are awesome! We’re still amazed by all of the congrats, love, and generosity that have been flung our way since Clara’s birth. Seriously, we just can’t say “thank you” enough. But perhaps this week’s giveaway counts as one way that we’re showing our gratitude… by paying it forward a bit for you guys at home.

See, we hadn’t really ever planned to do formal birth announcements for Clara. But then our email buddy Mollie from The Paper Cafe (who we befriended way-back-when during this address stamper giveaway) insisted that we accept her baby gift to us: complimentary announcements from her vendor Take Note! Designs. We happily accepted on the condition that she (and Sarah from Take Note!) do another giveaway with us so our readers could share in the freebie fun… and thus today’s freebie was born. Which is awesome because, well, the designs are awesome.

So one of you is gonna win $100 towards any order from Take Note! Designs (plus everyone else will be scoring a discount on Thursday!). Even if you don’t have a baby to announce, you could grab a Benjamin’s worth of invitations, thank you notes, holiday cards, or other greetings. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll have a rough time picking out just one design.

We finally did manage to agree on a design for our big Clara announcement, and here’s how it all turned out (thanks again to our friend Dana Duncan for taking such a sweet picture of our then one-week-old little girl).

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT!
    I (shamefully) never got around to sending out a Christmas card with a photo of the kids last year. I said I would send it out at Easter (nope, didn’t happen). So, I will totally send one out with this for the next holiday!

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT…Our baby boy was due to be born on July 19 this year, but on April 20 I went into the hospital for a quick check-up and stayed there on bedrest for 7 long, incredibly stressful weeks with constant monitoring on the baby. We only made it through by the grace of God and many prayers. Piet was born on June 2, at 33 weeks and had to be admitted to the NICU. He was able to go home after only 2 weeks and is doing incredibly well. We have been so blessed and I can’t wait to send out baby announcements!
