freshly squeezed designs giveaway

This Giveaway has Closed.
I tend to plan ahead. At least in regards to certain things. Things that are fun. I buy and wrap birthday presents weeks in advance. I bought Collin's Halloween costume before he was born. I am already thinking about the menu for a couples only Christmas soiree this year. Thus it will be no surprise that I picked out who would design my baby announcements before I had even announced I was pregnant. I couldn't help it. When I saw freshly squeezed designs it was love. (Don't feel bad if you didn't receive one. I mainly sent them to friends and family that don't read my blog. I tend to forget to update that group of people.)

I wanted Collin's announcements to be modern and unique, simple and clean. I couldn't explain freshly squeezed designs any better. They have such a delicious style. From their logos to their Christmas cards - every design is completely unique yet gorgeous. After contacting them (as soon as I found out the baby's sex) they designed me several designs to choose from. Shane and I chose this one:

But these were close in the running...





Now I am already thinking about them designing an invite for Collin's first birthday party. I am thinking something like this one:



Or this one, in boy colors:



And don't even get me started about this Christmas card. Scrumptious!




Want to win some cards for yourself? freshly squeezed designs is offering two natalie's sentiments readers 50 custom designed cards! You can choose invites, announcements, or, since you have until 12/31/09 to claim your prize, you could even have Christmas cards designed just for you.


There are 4 ways to enter:




  • Head over to freshly squeezed designs and check out some of the designs there. Mention in a comment on this post one of your favorites.

  • Let me know in a separate comment that you are a natalie's sentiments follower/subscriber/google reader.

  • Let me know in a separate comment that you have blogged/tweeted/facebooked about this giveaway.

    Seeing as how I'm due in 4 weeks, I'd have to go with birth announcements. It's a toss up between "Oh Sister" and "Simply Stated (girl)". Thanks for sharing this company--the designs are fabulous and the prices are very reasonable!
