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 a couple of vacation trips that I have been putting of scrapping mostly because of the "size" of the project (meaning the amount of photos to tackle)...

I have been putting off my Christmas pics from LAST year!! I have no idea why either! I bought a TON of supplies for them but just can't muster up enough energy I guess? I love these albums!!

I have a summer album I have an idea for but I've been putting it off because I'm in a contest that requires a lot of my time.

One of the things I really wanted to do with scrapbooking is creat an album from when I was a little girl and my husband a little boy. Well, I think about this alll the time but just can't seem to get myself going... These albums are great. I really love what you did with your scalloped one.
Thanks!!

This is embarassing, but I've been putting off scrapbooking in general for months now. I have Crafter's ADD for sure -- right now I have been in a big quilting phase, but soon I think I might switch over to the scrapbooking phase.

I have been putting off making some home decor projects for my little girls' room partly because our new home is not ready yet and two I am in a creative slump and I want to wait until I have some better juices flowing for better creativity (does any one else ever get this? or am I the only freak out there?)

I HAVE BEEN PUTTING OFF MY SONS FIRST YEAR ALBUM!!! I have some great ideas but its such an important and monumental album that I want it to be just perfect! At first it was because I have only been scrapbooking since he was born in January, now that Im at an intermediate level and teach classes at my local scrapbook store I'm still intimidated by it and haven't even started :( :( :( How awesome would it be to win these though, I'm sure it would inspire me to get started :) :) :)

A book about my dad. He passed away nine years ago and the emotions around him are still very overwhelming for me.

Like many other people here, I have also been putting off doing my wedding album. My one year anniversary is in two weeks and I haven't gotten it done because I want so badly for it to be perfect and I'm afraid I will mess it up. I also haven't done our honeymoon mini book either. I don't know why I got all the photos and supplies together and then just lost the "oomph" that I needed to get the project going. I have never worked with an acrylic album, but I have seen so many neat projects done with them. I think it would be fun to try.

I have been putting off the mini album of my son's trip to science camp in april. I have the photos, pictures, paper and the mini album. I just need to sit down with my son to interview him for the journaling and put it together. Current work and school projects/homework are taking up so much of our time, it is just not getting done.

Ironically, I have been putting off completing a clear album I purchased because I am AFRAID of the double-sided exposure. Thanks again Ali for showing us "how to get it done" and for the opportunity to win these aweseome albums. If I win, I will toss my fears aside!

Ive been putting of my daughters school album. Which, in the realm of things sounds silly cause she just started Kindgarten 3 weeks ago :) But Ive had it all sketched out for a year now and plan to use the same format all in one album through 5th grade. That way Ill I have to do is slap on the photos and journal!

I think I have been putting off doing my courtship with my husband and our wedding because, well, I tried once to get started and my pages were turning out lame. So I have just put off getting back to it. It would mean a lot to get that done because my husband loves to read about how much I love him.

I've been putting off scrapping about my divorce. It's one of those life changing events that needs to be documented but is still too painful to touch. But I know I'll feel better once I do it so I really need to just buck up and get to work!

I've been putting off scrapping school stuff. With kids in third and first grade, it's tough to keep it all feeling fresh.

I'm all caught up right now, but it took me an entire year to scrap our wedding and honeymoon!!! I've been trying to stay up on things since then and surprisingly I've done a good job.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I've been putting off finishing my CKU album. I want the journaling to be so honest about my life and I'm having a hard time sitting down and writing out what I want to say. I think it's because I want the book to be a legacy for my son and so I'm really trying to cover what's made me who I am.
