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.

    A few summer’s ago, I decided to go skydiving and loved it so much I did it again 3 months later!! Quite edgy for me!

    Edge Me! Please!

    I think anyone willing to go through what you guys described as “claw-hand” inducing (i.e. the stenciling) is living on the edge!

    EDGE Me!!! I’m living on the edge lately by. . . trying to make my own artwork. Yep, not very “edge worthy,” but it’s that or trying to pay all the extra bills in June (it happens to be my most expensive month of the year).

    I think living on the edge is entering this contest. Because if I win, then I have no reason not to stencil! EEK!
    (yup I am that BORING)

    I went skydiving a few years ago before I got married! I wanted my husband to do it with me but now that I have a 21-month old little boy, I don’t think I’ll go again!

    EDGE ME! I think I did a lot more living on the edge when I was younger – mostly overseas, like eating frog legs and sliding down a waterfall like a waterslide.

    EDGE ME! Oh man, I…am not edgy at all. Not remotely. My glasses are cool? Choosing unusual frames that could draw continuous attention to my face, that is about as edgy as I get!

    EDGE ME! The most edgy thing I was going to do was quit my job and move to the Dominican republic to work on a cacao farm. But right before I quit my job, I was offered my dream job elsewhere. Now I work there, and the Dominican is on hold.

    EDGE ME! I’m all about the tats and piercings. Not nearly as many as I’d like (conservative hubby raising his eyebrow usually has me putting on the brakes), but enough to keep me (mostly) happy. On another note, I’ve been searching for a stencil for my kiddo’s room so I very much need to win this. LOL!

    I went on a trip to Europe and took a cable car to the top of Mont Blanc (tallest Mountain east of Russia – 15,000 feet above sea level.) Even though I’m afraid of heights and it made me nauseous. So worth the pics I got.

    Wow, am I that boring? Haha, nothing edgy happening my way. I’m not to fond of the feeling of rollercoasters or anything that moves to fast or sudden. I’m content with say, a picnic. Hahaha.
