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 my son's 1st birthday album. I know I need to do it, it's just that it's his first birthday and I know that it will be looked at for years and years and I want it to look nice!

I have been putting off doing an album of my mother's childhood. It will include her personal memories and many precious photos of those dearest to her heart that have passed. I am determined to complete this for her by this Christmas as she has been experiencing many health issues; and I don't want to have any regrets.

Hi Ali,
I've been putting off making a mini scrapbook of my daughter's sleepover party from one year ago. I think this would be the perfect kick in the pants to get it done! :)

What haven't I been putting off lately in terms of my "art". I've got projects galore moving around in my head, but just haven't the motivation to work on them...

I love the idea of using paint as an adhesive with the acrylic albums!
I recently acquired some acrylic albums and have been avoiding them because I was not sure how I would adhere the photos to the acrylic pages. Now I have a great idea, thanks to you, Ali!

I really want to try some minibooks, but I can't find chipboard or acrylic mini albums locally and shopping for them online kind of paralyzes me. Of course, once I have the mini albums in hand, I'll likely still be paralyzed, but I'll be closer than I was!

i've been putting off an album using all of my professional maternity photos I had taken. The photographer was gracious enough to give me all of the proofs so I have about 2 dozen photos to work with.

I have been putting off my kids school albums - I really would like to do one for each child but hate the thought of diving into them!

I have been putting off making a mini album for my mom of her grandkids. These look like they would be fun to work with. Have never tried any of the clear albums.

I've been putting off finishing my vacations to Hawaii book. Since my parents live there we visit often. I decided to make a full size scrapbook of all our visits. I put if off because it wasn't new and exciting anymore. Now I wish I'd just made mini albums....=)!

I have been putting off making an album or page about an awesome trip to New York that I took a few years ago. I can see what I want to do in my head but it was just such a great trip, I'm afraid I won't do it justice. Although now that I've written these words I think I may at least try!

PROJECT ORGANIZATION! I've been much better lately setting aside "me" time to create and play and rejuvenate and get organized. My problem is I just want to play and my stash and supplies are getting out-of-hand messy. Instead of spending the time to get my work space functional, I've been pulling from it and dragging everything up to the kitchen table to create. Needless to say, I'm loving my time, but when I clean up, everything gets piled back into my (supposed) work space and the mess and disorganization gets worse!
Thanks for the giveaway Ali!
