Fab Freebie: The Cutting Edge

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

We’ve got two names to announce as the random winners this week and they are… Eileen Marie (who lives on the edge by teaching on the “mean streets of Chicago”) and Kristin M (who is the mom to a “crazy 2 year old” – which is a life on the edge that we can relate to). Congrats ladies! And for everyone else, Cutting Edge Stencils added a 20% discount code – YHL20 –  that’s good through Sunday. Sweet!

Who wants to jump on the wall stencil bandwagon with us (remember when Sherry spent 14 hours stenciling our office last October? Well how does a $50 nudge sound? Because the folks at Cutting Edge Stencils are gonna give two of you a gift card that’ll cover just about any stencil in their catalog – from florals and geometrics to damasks and graphic shapes. They’ve even got a new collection of stencils created by Design Star winner Kim Myles (we especially love her gingko leaf design on the right). And is the one on the top left giving anyone else Jeff Lewis vibes?

Cutting Edge Stencil Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $50 to Cutting Edge Stencils
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “EDGE ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … how you live life on the edge. I ask this somewhat sarcastically since life on the edge for us usually includes eating a second dessert or negotiating a good yard sale deal. But if you’ve really done (or regularly do) something thrilling or outrageous, we’d love to hear about it.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 6th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • DISCOUNT: 20% off with code YHL20 through 6/17
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner 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 for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Cutting Edge Stencils.

    Edge me! One of the scariest things I do is run by myself. Through the woods, on the country roads, anywhere. Usually early in the morning. I’m always worried about someone following me, so it makes me feel like it’s “on the edge”. Haha

    Life on the edge these days is deciding to stay up late, even though I know my little one will have me up bright and early.

    I used to live life in an edgier way…lots of travel, hang gliding, & the like. After getting married & turning 30 though, life is much more tame. Must have gotten it all out of my system! :)

    EDGE ME..training for my first mud run in July. You know like the one the Real Housewives of Orange County did a few weeks back. LOL. but I have an extremely competitive husband so I hope to keep up!

    Well, I used to commute to work on a motorcycle but then I got pregnant with my now 5-year-old daughter so I’ve given up the wheels and instead get my thrills having a cocktail and watching Breaking Bad with my hubby. Haha.

    Edge me! I think I live more on the edge in my head than in reality. The most daring I get is in terms of putting myself in harm’s way for fun — skydiving, whitewater rafting, hiking in nature preserves shared by wolves, buffalo, bears, etc. I’m still trying to figure out how I could get paid to live a life like that!
