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.

omg - I LOVE LOVE LOVE these albums! So sweet!
The layout I cannot bring myself to do yet is from when my dad passed away. That was approx 6 years ago, and I still can't think about putting it down on paper, that makes it seem so much more final.

I have been putting off starting my Christmas gift albums. I really need to start!
I would love these albums though ... I like the thought of using paint as the adhesive ... very cool idea!

I had been putting off finishing the album from a trip that we took a year and a half ago. I just finished it this weekend. Next up: putting lay-outs in sheet protectors and albums!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Another wedding album put-ter-offer (or is it puter-offer?) or how about wedding album procrastinator? Anyway, there are way too many great pictures and I can't seem to narrow them down. I start then stop because I can't decide which ones to use.

I am putting off just about everything creative right now as we are moving in 2 weeks. Since my paper supplies are packed, I want to do a digital LO about why this rental house has been so good for us.

I've been putting off a calendar project. Silly me had everything for 2008 and got too busy to complete it. So I just saved everything for 2009 -----and should be starting on it NOW. :-)

I have been putting off doing any scrapbooking. I keep making so many excuses, the biggest one is I'm pregnant and I'm tired. But to be honest I miss it. I hope to change it this weekend (again something I say everyweek.)

First, love these albums ! Second, I can't seem to motivate myself to put together school albums. With four children the task is so daunting! I save way too many precious ( to me ) items!

First, how cute is that All Mixed Up album? I'm definitely going to hunt for that!
And now to answer the question...I've been putting off the heritage album of my mom's family because of the sudden passing of her brother. "His" pages were done when he was alive and journalled from that perspective. So I'm not sure if I should go back and redo the journalling...so I'm procrastinating and not doing the album at this time.

I've been putting off a layout. It is about my daughter and her biological father; someone that she doesn't really know (she's only 2). I don't want to convey this person as a bad person, but I just don't know how to explain to her why he left. I don't know if I should even make a layout about it. It's too hard to sort through my feelings about him and his departure from our lives, to create a layout about who he is, his extended family and his background. So that is what I've been putting off and I don't know how long I will put it off or if I'll ever do it; I just really wanted a way to explain to her that there is someone that she's a part of.

I love your albums! I've been collecting a ton of Disney stuff but got stuck after making a few pages. I have such fun photos but I don't know what's holding me back.

both of my sons' school pages for this year. I think i'm paralyzed by the over abundance of school scrap supplies i have and therefore, don't know which to use for each layout. Yikes! what a silly problem to have, huh?

I am putting off scrapbooking in general right now. I've been in a creative slump, and knitting has been getting a lot of attention instead. I'm hoping to get back on track soon...

I have all my materials out + the pictures to scrap LO of my oldest boys swim lessons/experiences from this summer. However, I just can't seem to make myself sit down and make 'the cuts!!' to the pictures!!!! Silly I know but I must have this embedded FEAR???? that it won't come out looking as good as I want it to!! Crazy too b/c I can simply order more pictures if I wanted to re-do it!! I guess this is one of those times that I just need to dive in and do it already!!

I have been putting off a cruise album.
I had a crop planned with about 20 girlfriends and I was going to work on it then we got nailed by hurricane IKE. Total YUCK!, No power since last Sat. and doesn't look like I will have it for about another week so I guess that's a pretty good excuse for putting it off a little more! It could be worse, we have been very lucky. These acrylic albums would be perfect for a cruise book.
Thanks!
