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 always thought it would be fun for my grown kids to have an album documenting their school photos through the years. I just never seem to get past gathering of photos....It seems like the perfect idea for the square punch and the acrylic albums!

Hi Ali! I've been putting off a lot of creative projects lately, but the biggest one I've been procrastinating with is a mini-book about seeing my favorite band in concert during last June...I've got so many great photos that I just don't know how to narrow down my choices! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

Cute album, Ali! I think I've been putting off scrapbooking altogether. Not really putting it off, just having a hard time fitting it in. Not enough hours in the day. Have a great weekend!

Love the look of acrylic albums !
I have been putting off doing an album for my son's Eagle Scout achievement. Silly but the reason is I want it to be perfect and I am worried it won't turn out that good. I need to get a move on though !

I LOVE mini albums. I haven't tried acrylic yet.
I have been putting off making a Halloween mini album. I gathered pictures of the kids in their costumes from each year and they have been waiting for an album since LAST October!

I have been putting off an album or project for some black and white pictures my father took when I was a small child. He passed away a few years ago and all I really wanted were the black and white photos that were stuffed in a box. They are from his time spent in Germany and I would love to put them together in honor of him. First hurdle is time to get them all out. Second hurdle is money to do them justics. Third hurdle is emotions to do the task. I'll get to them some day, when the time is right.

I have been putting off doing any pages documenting my pregnancy with my daughter. I had 4 miscarriages before I got pregnant with her and so I did not keep any notes or record my feelings as I was sure I would have another miscarriage. I feel I cheated her in a way and am not sure how to convey that on paper.

I'd like to start an album about my pregnancy but I just don't know where to start. I'm 5 months now and I want to get something started before the baby comes because by then I'll want to be scrapping the new baby pics.

I've been putting off completing Disney trip(s). Just such a huge undertaking. I love mini-albums so much because I can completely tell my story and include my favorite photos. Disney just isn't possible in a mini-album!

I have been putting off doing an album for my pregnant stepdaughter. This has been a high risk pregnancy but she has passed her 36th week! Clearly, this will motivate me to get moving!

I have been putting off starting the album from my recent vacation. There are just so many pictures. I will start soon, but I seem to always have a hard time getting started when I have a large group of pictures.

I've been putting off (and still am) to start my first scrap project. Whenever I feel like I should just go ahead with it, I feel guilty and frustrated as well because there are so many unfinished projects piling up around me that need my attention before I can start something else. I hope I'll be through with the worst by the end of October!

There are so many things I feel like I have been putting off lately that I am feeling overwhelmed. I think a little new product might be the motivation to get back in the groove. I so love to scrapbook, jut need a nudge.

Oh very easy to answer! An album I have wanted to do about me RIGHT NOW I have been putting off because I do so many of other folks and allways put ones for me off.

I have been putting off ALL my projects that are craft related because I am moving....and so is my dad so packing and cleaning and moving takes up a LOT of time and makes free time nonexistant.

The story of my daughter, Sarah's, adoption. When I think about it so many emotions and thoughts come to my mind I don't know where to start... I think starting with a mini-book may help me sort through it all and establish an outline for a more detailed album!
