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 wanted to do an album about my mom - she passed away of Breast Cancer a long time ago - but it was a long battle from diagnosis to death and a lot of experiences during that time that I would like to document for my family - but everytime I start to it - I have to stop - still very emotional. Also - I need to do an album about myself - I want to say so much to my boys - before it is too late - just need to get it done

I am putting off a layout about myself. I take most of the pictures in my home and I am not in that many. I would like to do a layout about myself so my kids and grandkids(someday) know a little bit about me.

I have been putting off the family heritage album. In my mind it seems like a huge project so I keep putting it off. Maybe if I took some favorite photos and did a mini I would get inspired to dive in for the big one.

i've been putting off my barlow street house album. i have to put in some ugly construction pics, which has kinda turned me off, but still necessary to tell the story. then i get to figure out the journaling -- there's so much to say!!! my goal is to have this done by the end of the year. i started it in July, so that's not so bad, right?

to be quite honest i haven't been putting off anything...i'm pretty caught up (as far as projects are concerned)i'm behind on a few of the kids pics from august but that's about it!
plans to make a christmas mini album and one for the whole month of dec. one page a day. so i guess i should get started on that because i would like to have it done so all i have to do is put the pics in as i take them, but i figure i have a couple of months yet so i think i'm good! (insert wink emoticon here...)

I've been putting off my wedding album. We've had pictures in a pile for almost 13 years now - and I actually started an album two years ago but it's just not that exciting to do when you can't play with the pictures.

My parent's 50th anniversary album is the one that gets out off- partly because they are already up to their 53rd anniversary now, and partly because there is too much time to condense.

What haven't I put off....my daughter who turns 3 tomorrow needs her baby album at least started! I also would like to do an album of my parents and brother who are deceased so my girls could learn a little about my side of their family.

Hmmm. What haven't I been putting off? I admit, I can't find those perfect embellies for a specific theme because I have loads of unorganized stuff.

There are so many pages that i want to be done. So many ideas that i get overwhelmed with them and don't know with which one to start. It's easier said than done to just start. I keep on thinking what to start with and how, that in the end i get hardly anything done.

Last years birthday and Christmas pages, my kids are getting older and it's hard to do pages that don't look childish but still capture their charm.....

I have been putting off my son's 6th birthday party. I always print too many pictures and can't figure out how to go about it.
