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 an album that I plan to create for my cousin's wedding showers (that I helped host). She loves unique, meaningful, and colorful things and I think I've just put a lot of pressure on myself to make this the "best mini album ever" that I just can't seem to get started. My goal is to go through the pictures this weekend and get them sent for printing. Maybe having those pictures in hand will help motivate me further?!...

I've been putting off creating an album for my business's guest cottage. I've just not been feeling like scrapping lately...just been making a lot of cards instead. Which is good since it's using up most of my scraps!
Thanks for the fun give-away!
Cheers,
Katie

Hi Ali !
Greetings from Vancouver BC.
My good friend Jim H died 9 years ago in an avalanche in Alaska. He was one of Canada's top mountaineers and guides. I have procrastinated all this time about making a little album about him, or even a page, because I can't yet figure out what to write. I get very emotional just thinking about it. Someday... !
I read your lovely blog every day and I bought your new mini-album book a few days ago - it is definitely your best yet. Best wishes with the new baby !!!

I've got two baby albums I need to work on, one in progress and a baby due around Halloween. I get stuck on the journaling part. . .

I seem to have about four big projects started that I'm putting off finishing. I always have trouble finishing my projects!

I have been putting off everything for a while. I have moved and I have temporarily lost my scrap "mojo" lately. Maybe these would bring it back. :)

I'm not putting it off anymore! I just got my photos delivered and I ordered a new album for a trip I took back in June. I've carved out some time this weekend to jump in! (However, the wedding album (7 years) is still waiting to be done.)

I have been putting off doing my son's second tour in Iraq. Even though it's been a year and a half, and he made it home safe, Thank God. He just is a different person since that tour. He's been through a lot since he's been back and having to deal with all that went on over there. It's been hard, hard on him, and the whole family. I guess being his mom I want so bad to help him but just can't. I guess at no matter what age a mom wants to fix everything for their child and make it right and better. But I can't this and I never will be able too. He will never be the same little boy I remember. He's a man now living in a man;s world. Done, and seen things I or anyone will ever understand. I guess I'm afraid to look at these pictures but know I need to do something with them for my son.....It's what he went through, it's part of his life a part that will be with him for the rest of his life.

My Wedding Album. (For 4 Years) I guess that I have gotten too overwhelmed by the embellies I've collected for it as well as just a general lack of inspiration.

Our family trip to Disneyland. I think because I love all the pictures and can't decide on a few to put in an album.

I have SO been putting off my wedding album. I was married almost 5 years ago and have been scrapping for about 2 1/2 years now. I just want it to be "perfect," but I need to just sit down and complete it!

I am teaching a stamping/scrapping class on Saturday to a group of women that I teach once a month. Haven't a clue what I am going to teach them and my stress is rising. I just can't find my mo-jo.

My nephew just celebrated his First Communion. I took lots of pictures because his mom and dad rarely ever take pictures of him. I want to do a mini book for him with all the pictures, but just don't know where to start! Your mini-book does inspire me however! He is a very special kid who doesn't have a lot...I want it to be very special.

Celebrate the Everyday Photobook that you created through Shutterfly, that's the one project I have been putting off. First of all because I'm hestitant to do anything digital but also because I want it to be enjoyable and to represent our lives in a very honest way. Photos don't lie and seeing our reality through photos is... interesting to say the least. Now if only I knew what to write and/or how to say what I really mean to convey. Still struggling with that as well.

I have been putting off Halloween pictures from last year. We participated in many activites; pumpkin patch, haunted house, trick-or-treating, and school carnival. I would like to combine all the pictures in one layout but I am coming up blank. So I've been putting it off. :)

My 4 1/2 year old just had her first "real" haircut. She had been watching a show about kids with cancer -- after the show was over she decided that she wanted to donate her hair. He hair was about 2 inches below her bottom -- She was excited about it and loves her new bob haircut -- I am still recovering................
