Clear Scraps Giveaway
Tags:Today's giveaway is sponsored by Clear Scraps. They recently generously donated some product for an upcoming benefit class/make + take I am doing in Southern Oregon. These are my four favorite products in their clear mini-book line-up:
6x6 Tab Album (5 pages, 3 ring)
All Mixed-Up (6 pages, 3 ring)
Scalloped Square Album (5 pages, 3 ring)
8x8 Tab Album (5 pages, 3 ring)
Here's a recent minibook I did that was featured in my Studio A column in the August issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine using the Scalloped Square Album:
Notice the square punch + corner rounder again?
For this album I used paint as an adhesive. I ran the outer edges of the squares through some paint and laid them down onto the acrylic. It definitely smears as you push it down, but that was part of the fun. I used much more paint on the transparent pieces and less on the photos (the photos are backed with other photos allowing me to adhere them to the acrylic album).
[ supplies : album: Clear Scraps; transparencies: Hambly Studios; paint and tiny alpha letter stickers: Making Memories, "the easter egg is pretty:" vintage ]
I have two sets of these four albums to giveaway. To be entered into the drawing leave a comment below and let me know what layout/project have you been putting off and why. Comments will be closed today (Thursday) at 5pm Pacific and the winners announced shortly after.

I've been putting off our summer vacation layouts. I have so many pictures and for some reason just can't decide which to use. I've thought about using them all, but I just can't decide which direction I want to go w/the LO. I'm hoping to find some inspiration soon though because we'll be heading out on another vacation and will have even more pictures to scrap!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I've been putting off starting a small album all about me that I want to make. I always find something else I think needs to be done before it.

I have been putting off my son's grade school album. He will be 13 next month and it seems like so long ago. I have also been putting off my wedding album for 3 years. I started a couple of pages but ran out of steam......

Hi Ali! I have been putting off our San Diego summer trip - mainly due to the fact that I wanted to do a mini-book for this special trip that combined two families, but there are many pictures and special moments to choose from - I'm having a hard time picking out the main ones I'd like to focus on... I feel I'm getting closer to doing it, though :)

I have been putting off my daughters trip to Vegas last summer. This would be a great thing at my house!

We got a chocolate lab puppy last year - she's a year now and I've been wanting to do a puppy album for her. I've been looking for some album and format that inspires me to get on it. I think these albums are just the spark. Thanks!

definitely my wedding photos! I think because it's such a special day for me that I'm afraid I won't scrap it well enough. Crazy, right?!
Thanks for the giveaway!!

i've been putting off a mini that i bought a little bit over a year ago. it was supposed to be filled with pictures of my kids, or more precisely their feet, and then given to my grandmother. a little something to cheer her up in the hospital. she died before i even started and now... i have decided turn it into a book about the special bond between siblings and give it to my little sister. it's just that everytime i take it out of the drawer it breaks my heart.

I've just been putting off scrapping all together!! I kept saying when the kids are back in school . . . well, they are back and I still haven't started. Haven't quite figured out why! Still trying to find our footing in the new schedule???

I've been putting off my daughter's graduation from May. I'm still coming to terms that she graduated and has left for college--Go Gators! :)

I have been putting off my youngest son's baby album. I have plenty of photos of him and all I have to do is sort through them, but because he was only 5 months old at the time my exhusband and I divorced, the emotions raised for me when I look at the photos and the question of how to journal certain things is really hard. I've started scrapping present pictures, and he loves seeing them. Maybe the solution is to just jump in and do it and keep it really simple, but it seems like a really hard thing to do.

I confess that my son's early baby pictures have not been touched. They were always so important to me that I wanted the pages to be perfect. That has prevented me from just doing them.
I love the transparent mini albums ~ they are fun and doable!
Thanks Ali!

I have not been able to finish my honeymoon album (7 years ago) and a trip to Maine (4 years ago). My style has changed a bit and I'm just not motivated to get them done!

I've been putting off completing the clear acrylic ablum class by Nic Howard on BPS (Constant Reminders) - I have the class instructions and all the supplies (including the album) but I think because we're using these see-through pages I'm somehow very intimidated to start. I feel like I have to have the whole thing planned out from start to finish before actually starting... ;-) I'm thinking about it way to hard!!

We went to Disney World over Spring Break this year, and I have been putting off starting this project. I already have one album from 6 years ago when we went, but this was a first for our youngest - I want fresh ideas...fresh layouts for this one! (I've even put off getting the pictures printed!! Yikes!)

I have been married close to a year now...been 'scrapping' the album in my head but not done it yet as I really want to be certain of the overall theme and layout... Guess I will need to embrace the perceived imperfections instead of striving for perfection!

I have tons of things I've been putting off for one reason or another - my Week In The Life album, my youngest sons' baby album, my oldest sons' school album, a year in review type album, a Halloween album... Seriously, I could go on forever! Perfection is not my friend and yet I want things to be just right.
Thanks for the giveaway today :)

Those are so cool! So many projects...so much procrastination! :) I've been putting off finishing a photo book about my Grama.

I have so many ideas swirling around about what I want to scrap. I need to concentrate on one project at a time. My goal is to start a mini album about our summer-I vow not to leave it until next summer!!! Love your blog

I've been putting off doing the photos from my Dad's 70th birthday party last year. I really need to get these done for him to enjoy.
