I love Two Brunettes’ work. Their stationery and anything involving their design and illustrations is the cutest! I really love the beautiful and creative nursery they blogged about too. We didn’t get to send out holiday cards this year, so I’d love to send the valentines ones!

Oh my goodness! I absolutely love Two Brunettes illustrations! Valentine’s Day is actually my birthday and I can’t think of a better birthday present than to win this poster. We are getting married in May and it would also be a great item to frame and display at the wedding.

I love the personalized Valentine’s Day card! Too cute! All of Carolyn’s work is just gorgeous. And her new little bundle of joy is beautiful.
I absolutely love the die-cut Dandelion card–so beautiful and intricate! I would love to be able to win this because my fiance and I are getting married 2 weeks after Valentine’s Day. With a wedding impending, we’re penny-pinching and there will be no gifts at Valentine’s Day this year. It would be awesome to be able to give him something special!
The Die Cut Floral Burst are such a work of art! So detailed and perfect for any occasion. I’d love to gift this to my fiance for Valentine’s Day since it’s the first we’ve had with our kitten, Apollo, and he’d get all gushy being able to represent him in our artwork!
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love Two Brunettes illustrations! Their calendar is to die for!!! I would love to see illustrations of us and our two adorable cats on this Valentine’s day poster. What a great gift for me to give my fiance to show case our soon to be little family!
How fabulous and exciting!! I adore the personalized card…so cute! Ok, and for the record I love all of Carolynn’s work. Gorgeous! If I had to pick a favorite though I would have to go with the recipe cards.
I would love to gift this to my hubby for Valentine’s Day because I actually have to be out of town for work this year on Valentine’s Day. It would be super if he could open this up and see us all together eventhough we won’t be together on the 14th.
I love any of the personalized valentine cards. And I would love to win this card because I think my boyfriend would just love it for Valentine’s day! He’s also in love with his cat, Milton. Even though I don’t like cats, if I had the card I’d change the dog to a cat and I think he would absolutely love it!

I love love love the die cut dandelion.
The die cut dandelion will always be one of my favorites but I really love everything – especially the customized holiday and Valentine’s. I would love to give this to my Valentine as a gift and hang it up during our Aphrodisiac Appetizer Valentine’s Day party.
I’ve been following them for a while and love everything they do but this vday card is great and I think my favorite. I looked at it when they posted it but can’t justify getting them since this economy sucks and we’re on a budget. Would love to win!

I’m getting married in June and my colors are navy and canary yellow. They have some to-die-for invites,place cards, direction cards in this awesome yellow that I might get my hands on!
I love this valentine’s day poster. so fun and vintage. I’d love to hang it in our future home. We live in Budapest, Hungary right now and I’m sans all wedding mags/books so I depend on these blogs! It would be a fun memory

I love the holiday cards entry where they show the photos they were given and how the designs turned out on each couple holiday card. They cards are so charming!
I’d love to give this to my fiance, whose art has been limited to concert posters. He loves art, just doesn’t have anything “important” yet.

I love the Botanical Print Inspiration Poster! It would the perfect valentine for my valentine — my grandmother! <3
Oh yay! This is fun. I am a reader of her blog, and I think the nursery she created is very sweet. However, her little girl is even sweeter!
The Watering Girl Spring Note is adorable. I would LOVE to see myself and my bf as characters on a poster! How fun!
Everything they do is SO sweet and so personal – currently in love with the botanical inspiration print – love those colors!
I’d adore having a sweet custom print to give my husband of our little family (us and our two adorable girlies!) we are newish home owners and this would have a special place on otherwise threadbare walls!
I love the personalized illustration on the Valentine’s Card – absolutely adorable! I am also oogling the canvas calendar, is there a 2011 available?

I loved her post about sweet baby Clara. My husband and I are expecting a little girl in March. It is our first baby and we are so excited.. and scared.. and thrilled… and nervous! I feel like everyone is telling me how horrible the first few months with a newborn can be. I loved this blog post because it was encouraging and made me excited to take this next step with my husband.
I would really like to have a custom poster to give my husband for Valentine’s day. It is our last v-day as non-parents and I want to make it memorable and special. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
I love all of Two Brunettes Designs, but if I must pick a fave I would go with the “Die Cut Floral Burst”. Love those color combos!
I would take such absolute delight in giving my mister a Two Brunettes portrait of us and our pooch, Ula! For his Birthday in November I got him a framed piece of art. Before he opened it, he looked at me excitedly and said, “Is this a custom portrait of us with Ula!?!” He played it off cool and definitely liked the gift, but I could tell that a custom illustration of our little family would have knocked his socks off! Plus, our 10 year anniversary is this year, oh my goodness!
AAH! I’m SUPER in love with the dandelion notecards…they’re adorable!
I’d love to gift this adorable poster to my husband of six months! Valentine’s Day is also his half birthday, so we usually celebrate that instead, but this gift would be a lot of fun to bring the two special days together!

OBSESSED with this Valentine’s Day poster idea!!! I would love love love to win this. I am moving to Cali next year in mine and my love’s first place together and this would be so great to frame in our new pad. I love the shop and blog. My favorite item OTHER than the custom Valentine’s design is the Tea and Crumpets recipe cards. Thanks for the amazing giveaway. XO Jill

I was so excited to see this giveaway! I was obsessed with their custom Christmas cards this year. I think I sent them on to about 15 people. Besides the holiday cards, I love the post of their new little girl. I’m a sucker for newborns! I would love to give this to my man because since we had our little guy, we have no pictures of the three of us. This would be an awesome “picture” for us to treasure.
I love the Botanical Print Inspiration Poster in the shop! It will match my gray walls and gold accents! I would love to win the Valentines Poster. I know my sweetie wants his cats immortalized on a poster with his likeness and this DEFINITELY matches our adorable decor!
I love her die-cut dandelion cards. Too cute.
I’d love a poster for our living room. We’re putting together the final pieces for our gallery wall and I think a piece like this would be a lovely gift for my husband on our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple.
I love the Watering Girl Spring notes! I would love to have this poster to share with my partner. It would fit in perfectly with the ‘whimsey’ redecorating theme!
Such beautiful stationary! I absolutely love the die cut cards! The floral burst is gorgeous, and the dandelion is so wonderful…
Winning the poster would be wonderful, because my husband and I will celebrate our one year anniversary on February 20th. And, if I’m not mistaken, one year is the paper anniversary…
I love her sweet custom prints! And this would make such a lovely Valentine’s Day present for my parents : )
Love all of her prints, especially the “Today is a beautiful day” print on her blog! Simply lovely!
Looking through the 2 brunettes website, I really really liked their limited edition die-cut dandilion cards. There are multiple reasons why I would like to win this personalized valentine poster…1. I am a brunette too and want to support my fellow dark haired ones. 2. My fiance are not really doing holiday presents this year due to wedding saving 3. I would love to give Andrew something really personal because he is so incredibly great 4. I think our cat Monkey would be a great addition to our poster and make for a nice family first “portriat” 5. We are always looking for more wall art!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Adore the thanksgiving inspiration board! These cards are the cutest things ever – in love!
The “Sweet of You” note cards are well…SUPER SWEET! I’d totally gift this to my fantabulous fiance. It would be a nice surprise, especially if I get to include our child aka our doggie. It would bring a huge smile to his face…
First, I just want to point out that I seem to be the first male brave (or crazy!) enough to actually be making a post in this thread. I completely dig two brunettes’ “Sweet of You” thank you card. Some very beautiful hand-written type! I would love to win the Valentine’s print because my wife and I just finished redoing our home office and this would go absolutely perfect over her desk! Also, I know it would give me a few bonus points in her eyes, and what husband couldn’t use that?
First of all, love the illustrations! Secondly, I’d love to give my love something he wouldn’t expect! And he would NEVER expect this – in fact, I’d be very curious to see how he reacts… I also wish I could afford those beautiful green invites off of her shop – but alas, target invites it is instead.
I really love the hanging canvas calendar. So perfect for the office or the kitchen. I would love to win because I LOVE the idea of customized portraits. I just got engaged so I think it would be a lovely gift to my husband to be.
Nicole’s most recent blog post: Heres to 2011!
This is too adorable. And, although I would probably appreciate it far more than my boyfriend, I’d still love to give it to him for Valentines Day. Carolynn is so wonderfully talented and I’ve been a fan for some time. Especially love the innovate use of die-cutting and screen printing in her Floral Burst Cards, but, really, everything in her shop and on her blog is to die for.
The die-cut dandelion design is totally to die for. Love it. I’d love to give this to my fiance, because we’ve had a really long haul this year. We’re living about 5 hours away from each other and won’t get to spend valentines day together. But our wedding (and the end of long distance) is only four months away, so this would be a great reminder of how close we each are to getting to spend the rest of our lives with our best friends.
The Tea and Crumpets recipe cards… It’s enough to make me start cooking!! I love them! They’re just retro and girlie enough to reach back into my Home Ec. glory days – and also just asking for my favorite turkey burger recipe (shredded zucchini is my secret – keeps ‘em moist) to be immortalized on their dainty lines! And how sweet would they look laid out on the counter, under the beautiful custom poster I won?!
Oh that dandelion design is totally swoon worthy!
And I got engaged on Valentine’s Day 23 years ago. I can’t think of a better way to commemorate our special day.

I would love to give this poster to my husband Bruce, because four days after Valentine’s Day, I will be welcoming him home from his deployment to Afghanistan. He loves personalized things like this, and I know he would cherish it! I have sent him lots of personalized things I made while he has been deployed, and he keeps everyone of them. But I don’t think I could ever make anything as wonderful as one of Carolynn’s illustrations! I really love Two Brunettes’ work – I especially love Carolynn’s recent posts on her blog about beautiful baby Clara Eden! What a wonderful early Valentine’s Day present!
I would love to win this print for my sweetheart, because we will be so fun to make into cartoons! (and our little doggy, too!) I really love all of your beautiful invitations!
She does beautiful work….very serene, simplistic, and stylish! I love the watering girl notecards. I’d love to win the poster of me and my hub! and our little squirrel dog!
