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.

    CUT ME OUT!

    This year, I’m trying to cut out some of that wasted time sitting on the couch in front of the TV. It’s not all bad, but I’d rather enjoy that satisfied feeling of having read a good book or finished a project around the house…

    I’m cutting out diet drinks. I read a disgusting article about how it basically pickles your insides, and even if that’s not true, I know that they are bad for me anyway. Not giving up my organic coffee with good ol’ milk and sugar though! :)

    CUT ME OUT!

    I have so many things to cut out or at least cut waaaay back on, such as time in front of the telly or drinking way too many Dr. Peppers. I want to practice patience and tolerance and acceptance….and that I don’t need to have an opinion on everything. To talk less and listen more. To be slow to anger and negativity. (I’m new to your site but love it tremendously!)

    For 2011 I am trying to cut out the “clutter” in our lives. Whether it be stuff in the house, my closet or clutter people who don’t do anything but weigh me down. I would rather spend the time focused on more quality items (and people) in our lives.

    My husband and I (to a fault) love candy. Since we are busy medical/graduate students we have a tendency to make late night runs for candy as a “pick-me up” during our studies. One of our goals for the new year is to cut back on our sweet consumption by limiting ourselves to buying candy once a month.
