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've been putting off doing an acrylic album (which I think are so cool looking) because it is so intimidating!

Which album have I been putting off? Well, really, it's more like albums. My mission one (because I'm bored with what I've done so far), my hosue one (because it's a lot of work to make it how I want it) and my summer one (because I'm not sure where to start).
Also - love those albums. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have a number of projects that I've been putting off essentially because of a lack of time and organization. I would like to work on projects involving my kids' younger years, my childhood, my husband's childhood, my husband's military career, his father's life, my teaching career, and the list goes on! Some day it will all come together, right? Meanwhile, I just work one page at a time and try to stay content with that. I just read your newest book and now I've got zillions of ideas swirling around in my head. I think mini books will be quite liberating for me! Thanks Ali!

I've been putting off making an ABC album. I love the idea and look of them, but it just seems likes too much organization! One of these days....

I have been putting off ALL of it! I'm so afraid just to start and such a perfectionist that I just cannot get started scrapbooking. I've been thinking about it and looking at magazines/books for a long time. I need to just dive in... Maybe this would give me the inspiration to let go of my fears and just start!

I've been putting off the pictures from my grandmother's funeral - back in December. I started to work on them once and just didn't have any "creative juices" flowing at the time. Since then, I've just put them off and put them off ... However, I'm going to a scrap weekend get away this weekend with a friend and plan to work on them ... hopefully! Emotionally, I know it will be a good "medicine" for me to work on them.
Hope I win one of these acrylic albums!
You are awesome, Ali!

I want to start an album about all the national parks we have been to (I think it is 15 or 16) but trying to gather all the pictures is going to be a pain! Most aren't digital so I'll have to go through negatives!

I love these clear albums. I have been wanting to do some pictures of my niece that passed away at the age of 30 due to cancer. I have several pictures including some of the last few months of her life. She left behind two young children and I would like to make them both a album to remember her by. It has just been to emotional to me. Thanks for your inspiration.

I want to do an album for my 3 girls about my dad who passed away 3 years ago. I want them to know that even though he is gone, he loves them very much. It is just really hard to look at pictures of him without crying.

I have been putting off both my box of childhood photos as well as my husbands. My 2 boys and our current photos of life take up all my time. Maybe when the boys go off to college and things slow down I'll get to those projects.

I have been putting off working on the past 2 trips to Disneyland. I have a massive amount of pictures from each trip and it is so hard to choose which ones to use for the album. It would be nice to have a smaller album as well to put some in. I have never tried the clear albums but have been curious about working with them.
Oh and paint as an adhesive I would have never thought of that, great idea.

I have been putting of re-doing my husband and I's album. It consists of photos of us as babies, us growing up, us dating and our wedding photos. We've been married 10 years this year and I was waiting until I got caught up on family layouts, but I don't think that will ever happen! I'd like to get it done definately before our 15th anniversary.
