We’ve been a huge fan of the online stationery site Minted since they first launched 6 years ago. We’ve collaborated with them on several projects in the past, and it’s been so exciting to watch them grow into an incredible one stop stationery shop! That’s why we’re excited to bring you today’s giveaway — a $250 gift certificate to Minted!
Minted crowd sources their designs so graphic designers around the world submit designs, community members vote on their favorites, and Minted prints the most popular ones. I’m a guest judge for their recent Baby Announcement Challenge, and I would love to have you guys help me out by voting on your favorite design! Simply go to this boards thread to vote, and then comment on this post or the boards thread and tell us what you’d buy if you win. Minted carries everything from birth announcements, to invitations, greeting cards, business cards, party supplies, and my personal favorite – art prints!
For an extra entry, like us on Facebook! You have until midnight EST this Sunday the 24nd to enter when we’ll select one random winner. Good luck!
PS – Be sure to check out their awesome new blog Julep, which features DIY inspiration galore from some of the most talented bloggers on the web!

I love #5. My grandpa passed away in November and one of the last conversations we had with him was telling him about our pregnancy. He was so excited for us and just a really special moment. He was a pilot and loved to fly so we’re decorating our nursery in a plane theme in his honor. I love the little plane and banner on #5 so it would be really meaningful and perfect for our little guy!!

Number 4 is really cute. I also like number nine as it matches our nursery. I’d buy birth announcements since I haven’t done them yet.

Number four is absolutely adorable! I have to admit I wish I knew about them a year ago when I did birth announcements for my son! If I were to win I would get journals. I write to my children every month and I look forward to giving them the journals when they are 18 as a keepsake. I would start writing in these nice journals and I would keep another where I would ask them questions and write their responses.

It’s a tough choice, but I think 7 is my favorite (it looks a bit like a 60s era illustration to me). If I won, I think I’d hoard it for birth announcements for our second baby (hopefully to be conceived shortly!).
