So here we are again, another month in our Year of Giving and another chance to win some great art!! These 3 designs are the newest of our creations- yet to hit the pages of CID.com. And for lucky you, we’re giving you the chance to grab them up!
We especially love the “Protect our Water” print. It was designed before this mess of an oil spill (kind of ironic, we think). It’s a very strong, important message for children, and there’s no better time than now to emphasize it!!

Hi Rebecca,
I follow your blog and I am a fan on Facebook, plus I posted the link to the contest on my profile. Unfortunately, I don’t blog or twitter….
So, count 5 entries for me!
I love the messages of this artwork and it will compliment the pieces I already purchased from you for my girls’ playroom!! I can’t wait to finish the room – we’re almost ready to paint and then I can put up the prints!!
Actually, the Good Morning Sunshine and Goodnight Sweetheart might go in their bedrooms – so sweet!
Hope I win!!

I LOVE this new artwork, especially the “Protect Our Water” because it compliments the eco-healthy environmental theme we have at our new Growing Green Child Development Center! I am looking for ways to inspire our children everyday and this message is PERFECT! Plus all the prints are done on recycled paper with soy ink with eco friendly packaging!
I would love to see MORE Eco “theme” artwork with messages!!! Great job!
I became a fan on your facebook page and here is a link I posted on my page today:

All of the artwork is beautiful, but my favorite song to sing to all my kids is You are my Sunshine, so I love this design the most. When I wake up the kids in the morning, I open the windows and say “Good Morning Sunshine”, because they are my sunshine!

I am so inspired by your collages. Have just finished a wonderful children’s literature course for teachers and we finished with a big Eric-Carle-love-in. I think that like Carle, your work finds the magic in between all the pieces and knits it altogether with pure joy.

I have the #s 1-10 & tree in 8×10 & you are my sunshine in 8×10. I fell in love with the simplicity of your artwork while I was pregnant & now I love them even more and use them as a learning tool for my soon to be 10 month old. I just adore all of the pieces that we have!
Thanks so much!

We live near the gulf. Though right now everyone is concerned about the safety and health of our waters, those of us who live here have always been concerned about it. Also, we just painted our playroom walls in a shaded blue that will look great with these prints hanging on them 🙂

I love your pictures! The great colors and simple designs are perfect and so appealing. They look great in my nursery, and I know my friends love them too. Plus, the eco-friendliness of your designs and themes are right up my alley! Love, love, love. Thanks for all you do.

I can’t tell you how much I love these prints. They are playful and stylish but also convey a meaningful message which is so important. I would love these prints for my son’s nature themed ‘big boy room’ which I’m working on at the moment as he is all too quickly outgrowing his nursery.
I am a fan on facebook and have posted the contest link, so I think that is 5 entries! Thanks again for another great contest!

I LOVE these! Such a sweet design that is versatile and can be loved by boys, girls, men and women! I could see myself hanging these in my daughter’s bedroom or even in my kitchen. What a better place for ‘Good Morning Sunshine’ than on the wall over my coffee maker?
June 5, 2010 at 2:51 pm
childreninspiredesign
Amen, Kate! There’s nothing better than some coffee and a little Sunshine!!

love all your artwork. the “protect our water” print *is* esp fitting right now, and is my fave. the “good morning sunshine” print reminds me of my sister and her daughters. she sings that song to them all the time, so i’d have to give her that one if i won. 🙂

Love the new artworks, they remind me of retro advertising/radio posters. Colourful, vibrant and original as always. I already have your world map collage artwork up in my classroom and my 30 little 5 year old darlings have in the past created their own version of your artwork as a whole class. It would be great to add these three to the walls of the classroom, especially the ‘Good Morning Sunshine’ artwork as I have 30 little sunshines who brighten each and every day for me!!!

My favorite is the protect our water as well (We live on the Gulf Coast), although the other two really make me smile, and I can see them in my children’s rooms.
I am a facebook fan already….

I love the slight retro, quirky feel to the prints, yet they’re so original and fresh too. My favourite is the protect our water print; partly because I think it’s so important to introduce children to these kind of issues and I love the way theprint presents the theme; partly because my 4 yr old son is rapt with wonder by the blue whale at the moment; but mostly by the small detail of the one orange fish amongst all the red. What a great conversation starter with your child… Why is that one different? Is it good to be different? Is it better to try and be like everyone else? Can one person make any difference on their own? Though I suspect my son’s first question will be whether the whale will eat them all 😉

Is there any better way to educate our children than through the powerful use of beautiful pictures? I have two little girls and want them to understand early in life how important it is to protect our world and appreciate its beauty. Your artwork is such a fun way to help achieve that goal. I already have a few pieces and I keep thinking about how many more I can give as gifts! Thank you!

My new grandson will be born in September to my son and his wife who are amazingly “GREEN.” What better way to enhance our little guy’s nursery than these beautiful prints for his room!

I love the ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’ artwork the best. It reminds me of my sweet bedtime routine with my children (reading and snuggling until lights-out). My daughter would love the whale. She is our conservationist and loves all things “nature”. My son is a morning person like myself. I can count on him to be up with me at the crack of dawn. He sometimes needs the reminder to be cheerful however. 🙂

I am loving these new prints of yours, all three. I especially appreciate how they can go either way gender-wise, which is right up my alley with all boys running our roost.

I love this artwork. I learned about it from a friend of mine at Urban Sherp (urbansherp.com) and bought two pieces. One is the numbers poster which is currently shining in my daughter’s playroom. It is so bright and happy; even though she is not quite 1, she loves to look at it. The other is the peacock and it is at the bottom of our stairs – colorful and eyecatching, it fills a tiny space like a jewel.
These prints are darling! I particularly love the “protect our water” print – the whale is a good one for our New England home. Keep up the good work!

I think adding the messages to the cute pictures adds to the meaning. I especially think the whale picture is very relevant with the oil situation in the Gulf.
