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 wedding pictures. All my "friends" from work are in them. 3 years later when I was unexpectedly terminated, said "friends" disappeared. Maybe with a mini, I could isolate pictures without them.

I've been putting off making a mini all about my Dad. Loosing him has been one of the hardest times in my life, and I haven't been emotionally ready to make this book. I have started, but it's going to be a slow emotional process that I'm now ready for!

Well, I was included in your last comment, and I've been putting off doing anything, because I have so many things that need to be done ( not all scrap-related) that I am in a limbo and I have a hard time starting and finishing projects. But I'm starting slowly and trying to be better about it all.

Love the Clear Scraps! Bought several after seeing your Christmas album last year. Loved that album!
An album on my mothers life is what I'm putting off. Don't know where to start, how to do it justice and what I really want to say.
But I think I'll do a small one for my boys of her little "bits of wisdom" she always gave to me growing up. Maybe that will get me moving.

I love your blog (and you!) I've been putting off finishing my parents' wedding album. It's 3/4 done ... but then my dad told me that he was going to ask my mom for a divorce! Needless to say, I haven't had the time/energy/desire to finish recently.

I have been putting off doing my husband and my birthday pages. I want each year to be special and different so I haven't come up with anything yet.

The project that taunts me from my shelves? My boys' first year baby albums which are both 3/4 of the way finished and desperately need to be finished since my boys are 8 and 6 now. I started the albums when I was newly scrapbooking and used all sorts of paper and products I would not use now. I'm not sure how to reconcile the old paper and scrapbooking style with the new stuff I do now. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the clear scraps albums! Keri

I've been putting off an album of my Mom's childhood. It's a little daunting for me to scrapbook memories that are not my own. The pictures are wonderful, I just need to have her fill in the story behind the picture. That takes time together that we don't often have. It is very important to me to do this album though.

Hello! I've been putting away an album with old pictures. I guess there's so much nostalgia. I would like to make this album with the good "atmosphere", in order to share my feelings well about my past!
Congratulations for the little girl! and thanks for the giveaways!

AWESOME mini!!
A project I have been putting off is my wedding album. I started but then I came to a screeching halt and I have never been able to pick up... Somehow the photos are just too precious and I am afraid I'll mess up. I will do it though. Someday.

The biggest project I've been putting off is cleaning my craft room! If only I'd get in there and clean it, I could work on all of the other projects I've been putting off. I'm also putting off my Book of Me, A vacation book for my vacation to New Hampshire in June, a book about my pets, and many others. I'm putting all of those off because my craft room is such a mess, I can hardly find my desk.
The biggest reason I'm putting off cleaning my craftroom is that I've been spending the summer playing games (Rock Band 2 and Workd of Warcraft) with my husband while he is off of school. He starts back next week and then I'll have more time to devote to my craft room and my projects.
I love those acrylic albums! They would be perfect for my pet albums!

I've been putting off decluttering/organizing/scrapping my kids' school "stuff" - report cards, pictures, etc. It now occupies a huge Rubbermaid tote - definitely need to get rid of some stuff, and scrap what I want to!
