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.

    It’s my 40th birthday today! I’m ziplining to a hot air balloon from which I will parachute onto a speeding car that I’ll climb inside and drive cross country! And then I’ll sell you a bridge!

    Ok, but seriously, I must have that ginkgo stencil.

    I live life on the Edge by buy and fixing up a dilapidated drug house. Let’s just day the house came with its own security camera. We left it there for a few months just in case anyone came back to “visit” the former owners.

    i love my life, but i wouldn’t say i live on the edge by any means… i guess our upcoming living on the edge moment is a family trip to lake placid. our family & my brother’s family & our mum = 5 adults + 5 kids [3: 3 & under] + a 6 hour car ride [one way] + a ton of out door adventures.

Cutting brick, removing lead painted window and of course stenciling. . . summer projects, here we come!

    Living on the edge… hmmm. Does speeding count? I’m a pretty fast driver when I’m by myself. The motherly protection mode comes back when my son is in the car with me. My life is pretty low key of edge these days. I lived on the edge for years when I was in my late teens, early 20s, so I’m okay with living a more low key life. :)
