Minted {A Giveaway}

October 9, 2014 by Elaine

I have a slight obsession with paper, I always have.  I used to love to cut up magazines and make collages and I love to write on paper (although I do not do it often enough anymore).  In the past I have been known to spend a long time in a stationary or scrapbooking store, just swooning over paper, caressing the texture (don’t judge) and “oohing and awing” over the design.

I would guess that many people who like to write have a bit of a “thing” for paper.  It would seem to me that a natural affinity for something you write on is a no brainer, as they say.  Journals are also something I adore.

In addition, I love photography, which of course y’all already know.  So it also makes sense that I like things that combine both paper and photos.

And Minted does just that.

With a mission statement like this, “Our purpose in life is to uncover exceptional design from all over the world and bring this to savvy consumers who won’t accept anything else” you pretty much cannot go wrong.

I am  sure many of you are already familiar with Minted.  I have gotten several Christmas cards from friends in the past and their quality is amazing.

Not to mention their designs for cards, stationary and even art. Their products run the gamut from bussiness cards to birthday announcements, wedding invitations to day planners.  If it is made of paper you can probably create it and order it from Minted.

 

I need this.

I need this.  Maybe I like it because it kinda matches the blog… 😉

 

 

You can even make a photo calendar.  I love calendars.

You need one. So do I. For 2015 anyway. 🙂

 

Oh speaking of 2015 (see photo caption above), we all know the holidays are JUST around the corner (p.s. contact me if you are local and need photos taken!) so you’re going to need to start thinking about your holiday cards.  How perfect would these be to send out?  Your friends and family can hang this on their tree or even elsewhere in the house plus it’s just so lovely!

I will have to get some of these this holiday season…

 

Oh and then there’s this (y’all, I could seriously be on this website shopping, all day!)

 

Art-Humanscale-S-24x24

I need this in my life because I take a ton of pictures.  And how awesome would this be as a gift for pretty much ANY occasion – Mother’s day, someone’s engagement, or just because you love them.  Frame it and you are good to go.

 

They even have beautifully designed fabrics.

I KNOW.

This year Minted has added foil pressed cards to their holiday collection.  And there are so many lovely ones to choose from.  You (and I) will have a hard time choosing…) 😉

I’m over the moon to announce that I am offering a lucky reader a $50 credit to Minted to spend on whatever you like.  It may just take you a little quite a while to decide and I totally get that.

Enter to win below!  And GOOD LUCK!
