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.

    Living on the edge for me, just means adding some color to a room. I tend to be very neutral in decorating, but lately have been adding a little pop of color here and there(like a bright yellow vase). SOOO daring I know! ;)

    Edge me! I’m not the most edgy person-I think using a stencil would be pretty close to the edge for me, but I’ve seen pictures of a stenciled dining room table and would love to try it.

    I live life on the edge by procrastinating… It’s not very glamorous, but waiting until the last possible moment to start a project gives me a little rush! (and probably a gray hair or two ;)

    EDGE ME! I used to live more on the edge. I traveled by train by myself across a good part of eastern Europe while in college in the early 1980s (including through the Berlin Wall without being able to speak ten words in German or even having any West Deutschmarks, while carrying a china tea service); a memorable experience.

    We’re a military family and I fell like we alway live on the “edge”. Right now we are pregnant with our second child, less than a year in our new, first-ever-for-us, house, we have a 3 year old, a 15 year old cat, a just turned 1 year old cat, and two puppies under a year! My husband is preparing deployment and I’m pretty sure giving birth with out him will be as “edgy” as I will ever get. LOL

    EDGE ME! Um…if you call letting the gas run a little long before starting the grill to get a big pouf of flame, I’m your gal. Otherwise, taking three kids under six to work with me four days a week for three hours each day at a small country church is my idea of living on the edge. Ha.

    EDGE ME! I’ve been eying their stencils for weeks, and dying to do an accent wall in my living room.

    Living on the edge for me, too, includes eating a second dessert, not perfectly straightening a stack of off kilter books when I walk by (which is so hard to do!) or maybe even leaving the dishes in the sink overnight! So crazy!
