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.

Take Note Other Designs

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! Our adoption of a baby boy will be final in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to send out announcements–we haven’t been allowed to post photos of him anywhere yet because he is in state custody, so it will be the first time a lot of people will see him.

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Actually, I do, and I feel anonymously safe to do it! My fiance and I are considering moving out-of-state (from NY state to Vermont) — which is kinda scary and will inevitably tick off our families…but so exciting! *whew* Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!

    I’ve got an announcement: I only have one more year of school left! Praise Jesus! I couldn’t be more ready to be done.

    On a side note: I LOVE TakeNote. I bought personalized notecards for two engaged couples recently, and Sarah was so easy to work with. The products were great, and the couples loved their personalized, adorable gifts. Yay for TakeNote!

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT! if we win, i won’t have to make the birth announcements for our little girl (due in september) like i did for both of her big brothers. or maybe i’d still make the birth announcements and use these to get holiday cards… since i’ve forgotten to do those for the last two years. *blush*

    I’ve got an announcement … I’d save the announcement for when we have a baby, which I’m hoping will be not too many more than nine months off …

    I’ve got an announcement!

    In early December, we will be making our big announcement of a little baby boy. I’m hoping to make the birth announcement also be our Christmas card for double credit! I’d love a beautifully designed one from The Paper Cafe!!
