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 been putting off a "friendship" album for my one and only teenage daughter. I have gathered most of the supplies I need but for some odd reason I steer the other way when I sit down to work. Hmm.. it would make a good christmas gift for her maybe I need to get to work! As always thanks for the chance to win!!

I ALWAYS put off Christmas pages. ALWAYS. I don't know why. I don't like them at all! Ever! And... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Christmas! Weird!
Thanks for the great give-away!
Smiles,
Jen

I have been putting off everything really,(layouts that is) just because I haven't gotten around to printing the pics from my camera, and I've been learning so many different new mediums that I haven't had time to work on my layouts! Yet I do need to get some pics printed out and some layouts done! Thanks for the great giveaway, I haven't tried a clear album yet so I hope I get picked(if I do, I promise to get those photos printed!:)

I have been putting off making an album, because of size and product. I recently have purchased your book on mini albums, which seems to be the way to go to do smaller projects. Easier to handle, space is limited so story can be easier to told, just finding the product to use is the hardest part of starting a project. These seem to be just what I need.

I've been putting off the mini album I was going to make for our trip to NYC because there are so many photos to go through and get printed out. I just can't seem to make myself sit down and do it.

I've been putting off my wedding album. I have all of the pictures printed, and all of my goodies purchased...but I just can't start it. I'm afraid I'll be disappointed with how it turns out. Lately I've been getting some inspiration, so hopefully I'll try to jump into it!

I have been putting off scrapping heritage albums for both sides of our family. It seems like an enormous task with so many photos involved. I just don't know where to start or how to organize the branches of the family trees.

I have been putting off my summer album. I have the pictures printed and the album started, but I am stuck now. I just need to start putting some things together, but I was so happy that I got started.
You really inspired me to begin, which is always the best place to start!

Very cool, these albums rock!
I have been putting off just "life stuff" pics and stories to go into my 2007 album. I even have the pictures organized into categories and most of them already cut and cropped. WHY in the world am I putting it off?
....I tell myself I have been waiting for the kids to start school so I can have some uninterrupted time. Okay, so they've all been gone this week....what's my deal? = )

I've been putting off an album of my trip to Europe because it happened before the date that I decided to start scrapbooking from. But I recently have been gathering materials to take it on...just have to move out of our house, fix up the next house, move into the new house & unpack my scrapbook supplies. ;) I'm ready!

I am putting off the actual task of scrapbooking my life. I make cards, I make mini albums for others, but when it comes to my family events, I'm paralyzed by the fear that it won't be perfect. No matter how many times or ways I read about just diving in, I still haven't made the plunge. So I keep reading inspiration such as yours in hopes that I will ultimately overcome this obstacle. Thanks!

I've been putting off scrapping my trip to Seattle earlier this summer. Partly because I'm waiting for your new book to come to my local store, so I can get some fun ideas. And I'm generally hesitant to start a larger project, to choose the products I want, amongst a lot of choices! I don't want to regret what I buy! The good thing is I eventually get to it. :) Thanks for the giveaway!

I've been putting off finalizing our roadtrip from this summer. We've got so many harddrives with pictures everywhere. How many harddrives does one need? too many. I've got a lot of pictures. I just need a couple from one drive and I can finish our roadtrip book with our girls. 1.5 & 3.5 yrs old. We clock more than 1000 miles on this trip. They had fun!!

I have been putting off my 10 month old son's baby album. I just don't know where to begin... but Good News! I pre-ordered the new KOTM at Lisa Bearnson... a Becky Higgins Baby album and I am going to whip it up for his first birthday in November. I am itching to get it and it won't come till this time next month. But that gives me time to get pictures together and clean my scrap room! Wendy

I'm putting off a layout of my baby's first haircut. I haven't decided yet how I want to incorporate the lock of hair.

OK, the easier question would be what layout am I NOT putting off, but nonetheless... I have a great vision for a layout of my son's 4 y.o. birthday party. I have a great photo taken by my brother that captures the candle blow out perfectly. But I've been having technical difficulties with Shutterfly and no time or ability to install a new browser, which is the only fix they've suggested to me. So it sits. I am sure I can upload it elsewhere--it's just a disruption to my "system" that I need to address sooner rather than later!
