Fab Freebie: Cut It Out

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***

It’s no mystery that we think silhouettes are a great and graphic spin on the traditional framed family photo. So of course this week’s prize is right up our alley: a customized 8×10 silhouette portrait from Nella Designs.

Nella Single

Nella Designs has a bunch of other fun items in her Etsy shop (like this 2011 desktop calendar that our winners will also be scoring), but it’s these prints made from photos of your family, pet, or even you & your significant other (in your choice of color) that really caught our eye. You can see more of the prints that she’s personalized right here on her blog too.

Nella Pair

So here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: A customized 8×10 silhouette portrait and a 2011 desktop calendar from Nella Designs.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CUT ME OUT!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … speaking of cutting things out, what’s one thing you’re trying to cut out of your life (or at least cut down on) in 2011? Trying to ditch a bad habit? Looking limit your time spent in front of the tube? Or maybe you’re cutting out caffeine?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 12th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States and Canada!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

Random.org has chosen our two winners and they are… Nessa (who wants to cut down on being so serious all the time) and Angela (who wants to cut out sleepless night with her 4 month old). Congrats!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Nella Designs.

    Cutting out processed foods – avoiding the center of the grocery store – for starters.

    CUT ME OUT!!

    Ugh, the most obvious – and most most most difficult – is that I need to quit smoking!! Tried and failed a few times before, so lets hope 2011 is my year!

    I’m also trying to cut out negativity, so this year I’m focusing on positive goals/resolutions (I’m not cutting out bad foods, I’m eating more healthfully…etc). I’m hoping this will make sticking to my goals easier, but we’ll see!

    Love those prints, btw!

    Cut Me Out!…

    This year I am focused on cutting out negative thoughts. I am not a negative person, quite the contrary, but I find that I often put off celebrating or exclaiming my happiness on a regular basis as a protective measure. My goal is to cut that out and let the happy fly where it may.

    CUT ME OUT!!

    My newlywed husband and I are trying to cut out clutter… we are making an effort to clean off all surfaces before we go to bed each night – no more using the kitchen table as a dumping ground for keys, gloves, mail, and grocery receipts.
