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 my brother and sister-in-law's 40th birthday pictures. I made an album for them after their parties, and I never got around to making one for me. Thanks for the opportunity!

I have been putting off finishing a mini album for my parents. It has all of these pictures of us as children and it's just been much more emotional than I had thought!

Hi Ali,
Most of my projects are on hold because I have let so much get unorganized, it feels overwhelming just walking into my room. I am taking baby steps to get my pictures under control but most of all I am letting go of those ideas of perfection so I can get back to having fun. I totally want to try one of these albums and play with some paint! Thanks for showing such an awesome project!!!

I always put off Christmas and birthday layouts, just because they're so intimidating to me. I feel pressured (by myself) to get those pages perfect and "perfect" doesn't exist. =)

Procrastinating on pretty much everything lately - spent the weekend in the ER/Hospital/Surgery w/ my oldest DS, so it's not a priority right now. Creativity is simmering though. On my to-do list - a mini album for his Senior year. Thanks for the opportunity to win a cool clear album!

Oooh, thanks for the opportunity to win! Actually, there isnt' anything I've been putting off ... not anymore! I made scrapbooking a huge priority this year, and I have several traditional, digital, and mini-albums going at once! I've had several deaths and other family issues this year, and I think that has really spurred me on to put on my "family historian" hat and wear it with pride!

I've been putting off finishing my wedding album, which I started the first year we were married. The problem is that my style has changed so much since then that I don't know if I should just start over or just
leave the pages that I've already done & continue on with my current style.

I have putting off pretty much all layouts for the last year and a half. Vacation photos, school photos, silly layouts about my husband ending up in a street performers act. Why? well, I broke my arm a year and a half ago,then my desk is always covered in stuff, too small of a space to set up a large just for crafts table, can't work at the kitchen table , (I take too long and people get cranky when it has to be cleaned up to eat dinner),and I lost a bit of creativity after being away from it for so long. But I want to get back to it. I like the stories, the ones I am sure i'll forget any day now.

Wow, it's still only morning and there are a TON of comments. I never win this stuff anyway, but someone has to so I still try. I am new to your blog. I love your style and ideas. You are very talented. I have been putting off my baby's NICU experience album mostly because I can't seem to find time with a 3 year old and a 4 month old. I'm still trying to figure out how to juggle two kids. Congrats on expecting another little one!
