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 have several projects that I want to do, and have put off. One more recent one is of a trip to Niagara Falls. I did most of the journaling on the trip, and have a photo album, but I am not sure if I want to do something different or more.

hmm... I guess my kids baby pictures are at the top of my "put it off" list, I think it's because I want them to be the best pages ever. And, with 6 kids, there are alot of pictures! I should just get them done....... just do it!

I've been putting off making a mini-album of some of the crazy things my son has said in his 7 years because I can't seem to find the perfect format...mini album? - homemade?, clear?,
I'd love to give a clear album a run.
Thanks,
Michelle

I have been putting off doing this summer's pictures. I want have been printing them off in batches, but want to do a mini album. I really want to try some new techniques with it, so I haven't been jumping right into it.

I have been putting off doing a transparent album just like this one because I wasn't sure how to adhere everything. I guess I won't have any excuses now!! I love the look of them.

I've been putting off working on some personal photos lately... it's hard seeing yourself having gained weight, and I realized I need to make some major changes. Sometimes that is tough to deal with.

I have been putting off a mini-album from a trip my family and I took to Chicago 2 years ago. I have all of the photos, paper, album, ribbon and embelishments...but can't get myself to scrap it. I've got an idea in my head and can't trasition it into something productive... I think its because I bought really fun stuff and I don't want to wreck it!

I've been putting off a special album for my sister covering the timeline of my nephew's birth to present day. He's our first boy in the family so this is a big deal, but I work two jobs right now and I'm always so tired when I get home that I'm just not motivated to do it. These albums might do the trick to revving up my motivation. So cute!!!

Well, the most recent layout that I have been putting off is to assemble my baby son's scrapbook album. I didn't think of it first but let me tell you 12x12 size is very intimidating for a new scrapbooker and a mom who is new to this. I think I just need to start slow and also strart of with a album that is smaller in size. I really like your cool giveaway. Thanks for giving an opportunity to enter in the awesome giveaway.

You do the best acrylic albums. So far I've only ventured into a single acrylic 8.5x11 page...but hey, it's a start.
I started a Grateful album last fall. Ok..more specific. I decorated the outside cover of an album last fall to document the things I am grateful for in my life...but a year later I'm still looking at an empty album. I need to get going on this as I really do have lots to be grateful for. Bumping it up on my list now...thank you.

I've been putting off a New Year's Eve mini-album. I don't know why. I guess I haven't seen any papers that really inspire me for New Year's Eve.

I have been putting off an album I started for my cousin's birthday. Her birthday was in July - so I'm not too far behind. Part is done, but I just need to finish it. I think I'm afraid she won't like it, and that's why I haven't finished it.

I've been putting off everything! I don't know why I can't get myself to sit and tell my story. It's almost like I'm afraid if I tell it, it will have to have an ending and having been sick w/ breast cancer three years ago, it makes me afraid. Weird, huh?
I am so stuck...any suggestions for my crazy situation? I have four busy, talented, amazing kids and a husband that is the envy of all the girls, and I can't seem to get out of my own way!

What a great giveaway. Thanks for your generosity.
I have been putting off a project which is going to be all about ME. It looks so extravagant, for me, to take the time and money needed for the project and invest on myself...
It doesn't sound very good, but it's sadly true...

I love the clear albums but I've been afraid to put one together so I guess you can say that's why I'm putting off trying something new with a clear album!
