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 still not done my wedding album! I am scared!!! I look back at my scrapping abilities just 4 years ago and laugh! I would die if my wedding album was that dorky looking. Hopefully it will get done someday......lol.
Where in Southern Oregon are you going?

How many hard drives does one need? too many. I've been trying to finish our roadtrip book and I just need a couple more pics. If I can just remember which harddrive its on. Our girls 1.5 & 3.5 yrs old had a good time visiting distant relatives & friends. We clocked more than 1000 miles on this trip!
Thanks Ali! Can't wait to win!

I have slowly been completing my wedding album, and I have been married for three years! I also bought, some time ago, three frames, painted them white, and intended to do scrapbook type project on the glass, one for my husband, me, and for our dog. You know I have put that project off too long when our dog is no longer with us.

WOW...pretty awesome prize!
I have been putting off doing LOs of my mom. She passed away a little over two years ago and I just feel like my journaling doesn't ever do justice to how I actually feel about her or the picture I'm trying to scrap. I've started several and even a mini book and NONE are close to being done. Pretty annoying!

I have been putting off finishing our Los Angeles Olympics album. I forget the names of some of the people we all went with back in 84. I'm thinking first names will have to do....

::sigh: I have been putting off doing my step son's baby albums. Their mother left ALL their baby pictures behind (thrown into a big box if you can believe that)! It's something I should do for them but I really dread going through all the pictures with her in them.

I have been putting off an album of our trip to Boston 4 years ago! It was a fabulous trip but life has gotten out of control! A mini book seems like it might just work!

I am putting off two projects! One is starting my Christmas cards since I make them each year I always try to make a couple each month and it hasn't happened. The other is a chipboard project that is an contest entry for an October crop.
Thanks for sharing your book, it has some great ideas.

I can absolutley see, in my mind's eye, a beautiful mini book detailing the everyday moments of love I share with my niece and nephew (bedtime stores, sticky kisees, small hands in mine) but when I start to write the journalling it sounds really gushy and way too cutesy. One day, one day . . .

Thanks for the giveaway...Acrylic mini's are so smokin' hot! Let's see I have been putting off a Disney Mini because I have so many photos and feel a little overwhelmed. Also, I have been putting off my wedding album because I haven't found a product line that I love (still waiting)!
Thanks Ali,

I have a problem...I have made each of my neices and nephews cool sbs for thier baptisms but my kids dosen't have one. i keep thinking I'll get to it but I don't know if I will. It seems so inimidating even though for all the others i have followed the same pattern each time I should be able to do it. Maybe I'll stop and get some "fresh paper" at the lss today and see if that gets me going!

I've been wanting to do a clear album. The 'all mixed up' looks really cool. Thanks for sharing your album and the paint as adhesive tip.

I forgot to mention a biggy: a special travel album/journal that has been neglected. My bff and I took a cruise for my 35th b-day last year and I have yet to put all pics and memorabilia together.
On the upside of these albums we've all been putting off, it *will* be fun to go back through and reminisce about all the great times that were had and memories made!

I've been putting off work on our trip album about the Dominican Republic. We celebrated Christmas there last year and I haven't even started on the themed album. I've still got the pictures on my computer. I need to choose which I want to use still and get them printed. The bummer part is that I don't have a lot of pictures of my husband and I.... lot of places and things though.
