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!! My baby girl is due next week. This is baby #2 and we never sent out announcements with our son and always regretted it. This would be a wonderful way to make up for that. Thanks for your website. I love it!

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT!

    I’ve got a sweet toddler boy I’d LOVE to put on some high-style cards with my very low-budget grad student lifestyle! I just can’t decide if I’d do Christmas cards or 2nd birthday party with them if I’m lucky enough to win….

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT! We are so blessed to have sold our house just a little more than a month after putting it on the market. We’d already bought a new home, and we recognized it was a risky venture to buy a new house without having sold the old one, but the new one was perfect for us. So now we’re officially a one-house family again, and we couldn’t be more grateful for how things turned out.

    I’ve got an announcement!

    I could use some personalized stationery since I recently got married and changed my name! And…just maybe, a birth announcement may be in the works sometime down the line…

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUCEMENT!… I think. I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant but I’ve promised my husband I won’t take a test until Sunday since it’s the only day one of us isn’t working.
