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 been putting off completing my album about our trip to Italy. I get sidetracked looking at the pictures and reliving the trip, but I also want it to be "perfect" so I don't move forward.

Hi Ali! I've been putting of documenting our recent move from Iowa to Texas. Two reasons, I didn't take all the pictures I should have and my supplies are all boxed up! Not good excuses, I should make do with what I have.

honestly, I started an album about me because since I am the one doing all of the picture taking, I am never in any of the shots. So I had great intentions making a me album, but I seem to put it off. Maybe because it is very intimidating cropping pictures of my own face and writng down my thoughts and feelings about myself. I really want to finish this before it gets too late and my kids don't have any memories of me. So this is what I need to work on.

I've been putting off...adding pictures of some of my finished layouts. The layouts are from expos, classes..etc. Usually when I make a layout I have a specific photo in mind but when I take classes I feel kinda out of order so I have a hard time searching for a perfect photo for the layouts. I really hate this feeling...I pay good $$ for the class and always feel like I can't finish. Bummer!

I have been putting off scrapbooking my oldest daughters baby photos because I took such horrible pictures. I know I just need to scrapbook them because they document her life. I just need to get over it and do it.

I am putting off doing my adoption album for my son. He was adopted at 4 from Kyrgyzstan a year and a half ago. I just can't seem to get a handle on HOW I want to structure the album and what info. from the process of adoption, life in Kyrgyzstan and life in the orphange I should have in the album. What will he want to know? What will others want to know? How do I do justice to the whole rollercoaster of an experience? Maybe hitting the highlights that are elements he and I want others to know in mini albums is a place to start?

What haven't I been putting off? I am such a shameful procrastinator. I have recently been feeling the need to document a day or a week in the life of our family- so we can remember our fast-paced life and the great joy we find in our daily lives!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a fabo prize.

We have gone to Disneyland for the last two years and I have been putting off those albums. I have hundreds of pictures!
For Christmas I received a ton of Disneyland/Mickey Mouse themed scrapbook products and I feel too limited. I think I need to allow myself to scrap those memories with whatever paper/embellishments move me at that time. Those albums are super cute! Thanks Ali!

WOW! You have a lot of comments to go thru! My grandmother died in May of this year! I want to do an album to show all of the parts of her that I love, but I can't get past the tears yet. It wasn't even a suprise, I am just a boob. I have however started a notebook with thoughts and things about her. I am deeply afraid of forgetting. Congatulations on the baby! I love babies! It shows too, I have 5.

I've been putting off journaling all year long (no idea why?!) and thus my pages are "done" but just feel like they are missing a little something...here's to 2009 being a journaling year. BTW - love, all the cutie acrylic albums, very inspiring.

I have long wanted to do a mini-album of inspirational quotes/scriptures that have played a significant part in my life, along with little notes about their meaning to me at a particular time or for a particular event. I think it would be interesting to look back on such an album. Thanks for such a generous giveaway!

I've been putting off a layout on my 8 yrs old daughter sleeping, she does the funniest things. I already ordered the photos but they don't seem to match at all. I'm waiting for a vision on what to do, it'll come eventually.
Your acrylic album is wonderful, I love the use of paint. It seems like a great album to touch as well as look at!

I've been putting away the album I want to do about my childhood and family. I take out the photos every now and then and get overwhelmed. My dad died when I was 15 and mom when I was 22, and all the aunties and cousins in the photos have passed away, too. I just don't know where to start with the story that I want to tell to my DD who has never met any of those people whom I grew up with.
