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! My most recent edgy experience involved a foot-and-a-half wide trail covered in slippery gravel cut intoat least a fifty degree incline. In some of the better spots I would have only slid twenty feet or so before hitting a tree. My heart was racing the whole time, but the views were so worth it!

    We just took a trip to Europe and DROVE from Nice to Tuscany and many of the roads were bridges and there was no shoulder, so I think that would all qualify as “living on the edge” :)

    Edge Me! I was living on the edge a few years back when I spent 8 days white water rafting the Colorado River. I’ve never felt so proud of myself yet humbled at the same time. spending 8 days in the grand canyon can teach you a lot about yourself but taking a helicopter out and seeing how tiny and insignificant you were was life changing.

    I go flying in a small plane with my pilot boyfriend. I personally find it not-at-all-risky and a ton of fun, but my friends who are scared of flying/heights think I’m crazy to do it, so I’ll count it here :)

    I also almost always ask the seller at a garage sale if they’ll take half the asking price (unless it’s already an insane deal). I guess that’s “edgy”.
