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!

    I most definitely am NOT living on the edge :(

    Maybe a lovely stencil will break me out of my rut?

    Edge Me!! My husband is a teacher and thus “off” for the summer–so I live life on the edge by trusting him alone at the house with a white sofa. And, my birthday is June 7, so this would be a gift to talk about for years.

    I work in trade shows/events so we’re always working with hard deadlines, and always lots of last-minute details. I never know if that package we overnighted is going to arrive, whether the hotel will lose it, wether the graphic was produced correctly, etc. Once the show opens it is go-time whether you’re ready or not.

    EDGE ME! Not really sure if this counts for “living on the edge” but with my husband in his medical residency and still not knowing where we’ll be living and/or working in two years, we’re just kind of hanging out with no real long-term details in our head. This has been going on for about 7 years now since we’ve graduated college and have embarked on his journey to M.D. I’m typically a person that likes to have at least an idea of what I’ll be doing down the road, so this has been something I’ve really had to get used to!

    EDGE ME! Living on the edge right now means staying in a 3 bedroom family vacation cottage for a few days with 6 adults, 6 children under the age of 3 (including a newborn), and 2 giant dogs!
