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 my daughter's high school athletics album - just so many wonderful memories of the many sports she played and how much I enjoyed watching her - it feels like it would be hard to capture just how much it meant to me.

hi Ali!
I have been putting off an album that is very special to me, but might seem silly and ordinary to others. My Boy and me are househunting at the moment, and I am desperate to finally make some "home" themed pages for a new season in life. An album deedicated to a place of our own...a place just for documenting our plans and ideas....I cant wait to begin but I cant until we find a house!

I have been putting of my sister in laws 40 weeks album or her pregancy. I want her to love it so I am second guessing myself and all my ideas. I should just do it, I know she will appreciate whatever I do.

Love the yellow on the Easter album.
I have lots of unfinished projects from classes and events I attend. The one I want to finish the most is usually from the most recent class. lol... Between work and gift commitments, I find it hard to find time to go back and work on those unfinished projects.
Thanks for the generous giveaway and congratulations on your little girl!

Still need to scrap my wedding. I kid you not... it's going to be 5 years next month and all 1,000 (?) copies of our proofs are still in their page protectors. I think it's the number of pics to work with that's overwhelming me. But as I type this out... a light bulb just came on. I'll just scan some of my faves and find one of those quick digiscrap templates and voila... I'll have something to give my hubby for our anniversary next month. YAY! Off to check out your goodies at DD (need those wedding brushes). Thanks for this stimulus Ali :)

I have been putting off starting an album about a trip I took to Buenos Aires Argentina in December 2005. I feel so overwhelmed by the amount of photos I took, I haven't even ordered any yet. I also didn't take good notes, and am not sure what a lot of the photos are of :-( (That's SO NOT like me). I was on a photo safari a long way from home alone and guess I was feeling intimidated.

I have been putting off doing my wedding album, I got married in 2002. I am putting it off because I don't want it to look dated and have not found the right embellishments.

I have a few questions about the clear albums--you mentioned that you used the paint as "adhesive" for the transparencies. Do you put anything on the paint to "seal" it? I love the look but haven't worked much with clear elements, does the paint hold up well by itself?

I've been putting off starting my cookbook. I'm planning to give them as Christmas gifts (digital versions) ans have been taking pictures of my favorite recipes as I make them, but I just can't find the motivation to sit down and put the pages together - it seems a little daunting...

I have been putting of doing my wedding album. That day was birretsweet for me and I have yet to come to terms with it. Maybe scrapping about it will help?
Thanks for the chance to win these minis!

The better question for me is what project am I working on...I've been in a major funk of wanting to do projects - but in reality doing none.

just one project! oy! well I have to say the mini 'license plate' album. you know the one mini album that the cover is actually an license plate...well I got one @ CKC in Sept. 07 for my Hawaii 06 trip...and haven't finished (really started yet)....I think it is because the pages are SO small and hard to fit ALL i want on one page...well that, amongst a million other reasons !!

Right now the project I am putting off (and have been for the past three months) is putting together a page(s) of my twins artwork from their first year of preschool. I know I need to get it done as now I'm starting to collect a pile for this year - but it so hard to pick and choose - and then throw some of it away!!

Hi Ali! I have been putting off making a mini album from my trip to Africa. I have mainly been putting it off b/c I've been traveling for work and haven't had time, but I've also been putting it off b/c I haven't decided what I want to use to put it all together... maybe a clear album is my answer! :) Thanks for putting this giveaway up...

Anybody who knows me knows that I am a SLOW scrapper (really a card maker). As strange as it sounds, I procrastinate because I know it means so much to me. When it comes to scrapbooking, I am intimidated by a blank sheet of paper and I usually spend a great deal of time before I know what I am going to do. I still have not finished (or started), any books for my sons because it is overwhelming when I think about it. My sons are 4 and 5 1/2! I have recently discovered photography and I have no problems taking photos, but scrapbooking.. well...{HELP!!}

I have been putting off Christmas photos from the last two years. I am trying to analyze why though? I have a tub of beautiful Christmas product, but no motivation to go with it. Perhaps I need a new clear album for them to go in!!

I started a 7 Gypsies carousel for my Paris pictures. I had them made into wallet size from scrapbookpictures.com. Then they came out with the bigger carousel and now I want them on that instead but I'm too cheap to buy a new one and too aggravated that I already started the project on the smaller one!
