Favorite Things Giveaway: Ink Tree Press

This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience. Read my full disclosure policy here.

You may have heard of the tortured artist.  I’m a tortured artist wanna-be, who hasn’t taken a design class in her life.  I love to dabble in it, but in terms of graphic design I’ll leave it to the experts.

Experts like Erin at Ink Tree Press.

I was so smitten with her designs that I begged kindly asked if she’d like to sponsor a giveaway on my blog.

My heart went pitter-patter when she said yes.

Not only that, but she provided one of her newest products for me to review: a personalized growth chart.  I simply chose the name, font color, theme, and specified it was for a boy and Erin did the rest.  I loved that there are an array of themes and colors from which to choose, so there is a palette to match any room!

themes: Woodland Gnomes, Woodland Animals, Numbers, Letters, Cosmic

I think I melted when I saw it in person, just a few days after I okay’ed the proof.

It was beautiful.  The chart is printed on high quality canvas, with sealed edges and a dowel and ribbon for hanging.

I chose the animal theme, and even though it doesn’t match the nautical feel of the room it does match the color scheme.  Besides, I think Ben will love the animals as much as I do in just a few months when he starts noticing those types of things.  The zebra is my favorite:

A close up of the high quality canvas:

Baby #2 often doesn’t get personalized things.  They get things handed down, like bibs that say “Abby” in pink with purple hearts.  Now Baby Bee has his very own personalized growth chart, and just in time as he’s growing like a weed.

“hey, mom, is that actually for ME?  Like, with my NAME on it???”

I loved it so much I had to order a print for a friend’s new baby son as well.  And when that friend unknowingly sent a photo of her daughter’s room, freshly painted in a woodland theme, well– add another print onto that order, please!

{not the actual prints I ordered, I don’t TOTALLY want to blow the surprise!}

That’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.  Here are a few other things from Ink Tree Press that will make you swoon:

 If you are on a budget or looking for something different, these letter cards are a fabulous way to add style without spending a fortune.  You get up to 7 letters for $12!  Additional letters are just $1.50 each.  I LOVE this idea.  A name is only the beginning… imagine the possibilities!

here are the various letters for the cards…

Had enough?  I didn’t think so.  Now you can WIN your very own personalized growth chart, perfect for your family or as a gift for someone else.  These of course make great baby gifts, but they are also dynamite first birthday gifts, holiday gifts, and gifts for special moments such as baptisms or naming ceremonies.  It’s easy as pie to enter, too!

  7. Great giveaway!! I don’t have any children but one of my blog friends just got her first grand-baby a couple of days ago – so I would send it to her! – I visited the shop and LOVE the raccoon print!

  19. I think I would also choose the animal growth chart. In “safari”. I don’t think I’d get it for little O, though, because she never really grows. 😛 I’d probably get it for a baby Kyle I know–another 2nd child who will rarely see special things just for him!

  24. I love the letter cards. Isn’t it awful that I need to think of a word to spell for Sof’s room so that I can justify buying the woodland letter cards?!?

  26. I think these are the most gorgeous growth charts! I have spent the last few months scouring the planet for a growth chart for my daughter’s room, it’s the last missing bit of the decor. I love the pink woodland design, my little girl is crazy about owls.

  48. For the growth chart I would choose the Animal Numbers in either Brody or Grass Stains depending on which mathches my grandson’s room better.

  54. LOVE the letter cards! I would choose the pink ones to spell the word “Bath” and hang it over my girls’ bathtub. Cute!!

  56. I had already decided to do gnomes for my little guy’s nursery (he’s due in December) when I found Ink Tree Press on Etsy. I plan on purchasing at least the gnome set of alphabet and number prints, and probably one of the name prints, but we haven’t decided on a name yet!

  58. Ok, in addition to many, many items. Ink Tree Press is now favorited at Etsy as well. I’m actually going to purchase some fabric from Ink Tree Press’ spoonflower shop to add to my gnomish baby quilt.
