Awesome new sponsor giveaway!!

Sorry, this giveaway is currently closed.  Check back soon for more!
I'm excited to announce another giveaway for you, this time from the fabulous graphic design studio of Kristen Brown of Hoot Design Co!
"Following years of doodling caricatures of her classmates throughout elementary school, Kristen decided to try and make a career out of her quirky creativity by becoming an art director. After working for a class-act agency in Chicago, she started her own little outfit called Hoot. Why Hoot? Because the word makes her giggle.
Hoot really started to flap its wings with the "
Simply Yours Custom Hoot Print," which quickly became the company's signature print. This one-of-a-kind design was born when Kristen's sister-in-law had her son Jacob, the first baby in the family. Kristen wanted to create something totally unique for the special little guy, something that would represent all the people in his family who would be welcoming him with open hearts.
Before she knew it, other people were asking if she could make THEM a print too... which got her thinking, "By golly, I might just be able to sell these things!" And thus, the
Hoot Print was here to stay. Each one is crafted completely by hand (with the help of a computer, of course) and contains illustrations unique to the print. They are digitally printed on fine paper and signed by Kristen herself.
"
Here's the customizable Hoot Print for you to see:
And here's a sampling of the other great paper and art goodies Kristen has at Hoot:
I looove all the wedding invitations and she has--so cute!
And cute holiday cards!
Hoot is known for its high quality paper prints, but also this great ABC print on canvas:
Kristen says, "Children's art doesn't have to be elementary. Your nursery or playroom can be just as stylish as the rest of your house."
Kristen is generously one 18" x 26" Simply Baby Print in any of the three color palettes
How cool are those?  Words like uncles, sister, please, fingers & toes, aunties, cuddles, happily ever after... I can just imagine kids learning to read and being so excited to recognize words on their alphabet posters!  I would love to have one in a nursery someday (when I have a baby to put in it, of course ;)).  The greatest part is they're customizable, so you can choose the words and names you want for each letter!
I'm so excited to bring this Hoot Design Co giveaway with my readers!
The rules are as usual:
