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've been putting off scrapping my breast cancer treatment minbook....I don't know why. I want to preserve that memory and share the experiences (good and bad) for my children. Hopefully I will be an inspiration.

I have been putting off vacation pics from the Grand Canyon and Sedona. I have great pics of Indian ruins and the canyon, but I'm paralyzed in terms of knowing what to do with them! I don't really want the same old pages- a mini-album might be just the thing! Thanks for the give-away, Ali!

I have been putting off my Family History scrapbook because I seem to only find time to stay on top of the books I do for my kids. I keep saying the one day I'll put theirs aside and dig into the past instead of trying to keep up with the present. I also lost my two grandfathers recently and the idea of looking at pictures of them is sometimes more than I can imagine.

Would love a clear album - never used one and they look like fun! I have been putting off scrapbooking a vacation to DisneyLand in 2003. I have all the paper/embellishments/souvenirs/album all together just waiting for me to figure out what I want to do. I guess I'm afraid that I will think of a better idea after I get started. I can't make a decision to save my life. Help me! :)

I'M PUTTING OFF THE BABY BOOK. My son is 5 and I just can't get motivated to put the stuff I've collected on the pages. There are folders, envelopes, etc with materials for specific pages but I always seem to have something else that NEEDs to be done. Plus I'm like Deb it's important and I don't want to screw it up

I've been putting off our summer vacation album. I'm a teacher and I love making albumns, but the beginning of the school year is always very busy. Now that we are going into our third week of school here in NYC, I will be able to get back into caring for the house as well as my hobbies.

I've been putting off doing an album for our amazing trip to Kauai. It was nearly 2 years ago and I'm afraid to do the album because I want to do the trip justice! Stupid reason, eh?

I've been meaning to pull together a large album of Santa pictures for my girls. Each year I order 2 (8x11) photos for them so that one day I will hand it off to them along with the ornament collection we are building (1-by-1). I think it keeps getting pushed aside because of how busy that time of year is and then once the season is over we throw everything in a box after the new year. How can I "stay in the season" and kick it off??! Maybe you can send me your motivation in a bottle?

Hey Ali!
Great giveaway!
I've been putting off starting my first scrapbook of my own. I've always been knee deep in scrapbooking supplies and or projects, but they were always for other people. This weekend I have a crop set up for friends of mine to come over, and I'm going to venture into my very first 12 x 12 book of my own! :)
Thanks for all the inspiration!
