Clear Scraps Giveaway

Hi Ali!
What project have I been putting off? Whymy disney album of course. Just can't seem to get that one going - afraid it will end up soso and not great.
Thanks!

My father died unexpectedly in February back home in New Zealand (I live in the Middle East). Because we have lived so far apart for the last 2 years, I don't think the reality of his absence has hit me yet. Some part of me just assumes he'll be there waiting for me when I next get off the plane. I have a lovely collection of old photos of him as a young man, and many ideas for what to do with them, and even for using my eulogy at the funeral for the journalling, but I'm afraid at the emotions that will be unleashed when I start the project. Need to get some courage together.

I have been putting off finishing my wedding album, and pretty much anything having to do with Christmas. I was overwhelmed with the number of pix I have and just stopped using them.

I have been putting off doing anything from our last vacation and the summer in general. I have the photos sitting there on my desk in a big pile just waiting.

procrastination is my middle name! The biggest project I am putting off - is doing something with all the pictures my dad took while he was in the Navy. He was in during peacetime & on an airflight carrier. He had polariod camera and took a ton of photos. I just want to document these pictures for him, myself and his grandchildren!

Honestly, I've been putting off many of my scrapbooking projects, just been in that funk that sometimes comes and goes. I've been thinking about starting fresh with something I can actually finish in one sitting to give me a sense of closure, since there are so many things yet to be done, and that is ok....even though I haven't got that spark right now, I miss it!

I have totally been putting off working on baby albums for my 3 kids! I know I should because it just gets more overwhelming as time goes on, but I can't seem to come up with a cohesive plan I want to follow. Maybe in the New Year I will feel more motivated (since my youngest is 6 months, I'm a little sleep deprived now :) ).

I have been putting of finishing my husband's military album.

I have been putting off my summer pictures - we did so many fun adventures that I am overwhelmed to pick out just a few to scrap. We were in Rhode Island for 6 weeks and the beach and sun and surf really inspire me but still feeling overwhelmed to pick out "just the right ones".

I printed b&w photos 3.5 x 4 and they are still a bit to large to fit into my blackboard album. Some will have to be cut to fit on one page and some cut in half to spread along two pages. I've never cut a photo down the middle to put on two pages. I WILL do this, as soon as I get my nerve up.

Putting off my Mexico album. . . the pictures are just so beautiful, I don't know how to do them justice. . .
Thanks for the inspiration

i've got a kit for kristina contes's "i love _____" album that i've been putting off because i don't have the pictures i need! but last night i sat down and figured out what i needed and ordered prints. can't wait to get them and get started!

I've been putting off an album about my daughter's birth (she's not 2 yet, so it's not THAT bad!). The reason is that the story just seems so big and important and I want to get it all right. I know, a story told imperfectly is still better than a story untold!

I have been putting off doing a layout about my daughter's birthday...I feel so much pressure to have the 'perfect' pages for it. I have that problem a lot. It's fun to see how you experiment & have fun with everything. I need to find that again! This should be fun, right? :)

I have been married for 7.5 years and have been putting off doing ANYTHING with those wedding pictures. The problem is, I HATE those pictures because I don't feel pretty in them so don't know if I'd want to devote an entire album to them. Sad, I know, but every woman should feel pretty on their wedding day. We just had a small ceremony in a park and a party in my parents backyard afterwards. I never dreamt of the formal wedding, but now, wish it had been slightly more elegant. Oh well, still good memories and still married to the most understanding man in the world.

When I started to scrap my (now adult) children's childhood pictures I realized that there were no pictures of my third son by himself. I'll have to do some creative cropping to be able to feature him on his own pages!

I've been putting off an album about our move from Oregon to Michigan. I'm pretty sure it is out of denial....if I make it then it will become real and I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready to accept that....

I've been setting aside a vintage picture album with old photos of my family. It is easier for me to work on current phtos and stories while they are fresh in my mind.
Would love to use this acrylic album to house photos of my feet and where they've been this year. I've taken a series like this. It is fun to see my feet and where they've been whether at the beach, at a wedding, or on my yoga mat.

I would have to say it's my christmas album. Not sure why, life I guess gets in the way but I MUST find the time. You give me much inspiration to get my butt in gear:)

My wedding pictures...I got married very sponaneously (we had our marriage license and a friend who is ordained came to visit...the rest is history!) so I only have about 10 pictures of the event. I want to do a mini-album of the event but I can't seem to find the right stuff. Maybe these clear ones will inspire me!!
