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.

My 40th birthday trip to Las Vegas. It was a surprise from my husband and I feel like it's such an important album, I'm almost afraid to start scrapping it.

I have been putting off scrapbooking my son's baby album. He is 3 yrs old and I only have a couple of pages done. It is so overwelming to go through the thousand or so pictures. I get bogged down with trying to decide which to scrap and the layout. These Clear Scrap albums would really help.

My boys' school albums. Too many pictures and schools papers. Not sure where to start! These mini albums would be fun for the first day of school pictures from over the years!!

I've been putting off our wedding photos. We've been married 10 years! I just feel like they're so important I don't want to mess them up!
I started a few layouts, but I still have many more to do.

I've been putting off completing my first album of a cruise that we took that was the reason I found this hobby. I've grown so in my creating ability and it just doesn't get me all fired up to go and complete it when the layouts I did complete make me laugh. I'm not really into the thought of redoing them but I guess I need to do something to motivate me to complete it. it was 2002, for goodness sake!:)
Have a glorious day!

Okay... my problem is that I LOVE mini albums. I can do a couple a week and I love it! There's something about having it complete and done that makes me happy!
Well, I need to do a layout for my LSS design team and I just can't sit and get it done!
I haven't been able to do a layout in a couple of months and I don't know why!
I need to get this done and everytime I sit down to do it, I find a new mini album to start or one to complete!
PLEASE HELP ME!

I have been putting off a memorial album for a friend's daughter. The pictures show too well that the emotions are overwhelming.

Wow I would love to have those albums. I have been afraid to buy any because they intimidate me...anyway I would have to say there are two projects that I am shying away from; one would be my wedding album because for one the pictures were not that good and I regret that to this day and I want to make sure the jounaling and other stuff will make up for it. The second project would have to be a book about me...I have virtually no pictures of me (I hate having my picture taken) and my daughter makes comments about that all the time and I feel awful that I don't have any pictures of me or of all of us together. Thank you for the contest.

Oooh! Cute albums! I've been putting off an over-the years Halloween album that will require me to find & scan old Halloween pics. I know it will be cute, but for some reason I didn't do it last Halloween or the one before.

I've been putting off Halloween layouts. I have 2 years to do and figured I would wait until this Halloween to scrap them all at once. That will make 3 years of Halloween layouts:(

This is an awesome giveaway Ali! Thanks so much! I've been putting off my son's 1st year album. I just can't seem to get over the hurdle of finding the "perfect" stuff! I really want to make it digitally and have started several times...I just can't seem to just make it and stop worry about it being perfect. Thanks so much for sharing yourself and family with us! I love reading your blog!

I have been putting off my childhood photos. My parents divorced when I was 24 and looking back at the photos brings up a stir of emotion. It's hard to write about the happy moments when you know what is to come.

I've been putting off my wedding album - I want it to be "perfect" and we have so many pictures (had cameras on every table) that it's overwhelming. We've been married almost 11 years, so I need to get started!

My pregnancy album, I started it whiel I was pregnant, did a layout or two after my twins were born-but haven't really touched it. I did a photo every week.... and so I think it just got daunting all the photos. I'm sad as I have to go thru and read blog posts now to remember the details. I wish I'd had the energy while pregnant to at least do some journalling.

All of them, because I'd rather knit! haha.
Actually, I started a little mini book this past weekend for a colleague. It's going to be a brag book that she can keep at her desk and when her daughter in law emails her the latest picture of the little one she can print it off and pop-it-right in.

Awesome giveaway Ali!!! I'd love to be picked!
My pictures I'm putting off is my son's adventures in Cub Scouts, maybe because I'm historian and I've got a TON of pictures!
