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.

    where do i begin? wasting my life away in front of the computer, smoking or staying on top of laundry! im not sure the laundry one is cutting anything out… maybe laziness and procrastination.

    I’m trying to cut out my late night snacks (chips & dip, candy, ice cream and/or any combination of the above). I’m trying to get back to my post-baby bod (my son is 17 months old) and cutting out the snack will go a long way to getting me on track (to do things like taking more photos with my new Nikon D3100 and writing my own blog).

    I was going to say something else but then I saw another comment and totally agree with it – negativity. I agree that I need to be more optimistic as well. Thanks for the tip Shelby!

    CUT ME OUT!

    Since my S.O. and I both work in natural foods, we come home with free food pretty often — which is cool, but it wreaks havoc on our pantry. I organized the pantry yesterday, cutting out and donating the extra food. The bigger task will be keeping the pantry organized and uncluttered. Wish us luck!
