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 doing my daughters' (x 2!!) school formal albums. I've got heaps of papers and embellishments together but I just can't seem to progress beyond that. I think, like others have said, it's the wanting them to be "perfect" thing. I so have to let go of that!!
Thanks Ali.

I have this really great photo frame I purchased at an auction about 1 1/2 months ago. It looks like a window with 9 openings. I want to paint it white, then in each opening share my family's faith with photos, words and trinkets. I was inspired by the shadow box project you created!!!

My procrastination in completing last year's Halloween mini has been blamed on wanting to try an invisible bindery technique. I've located a supplier and need to just finish it already! I vow to blog the completed thing by the second week of Oct.

I've been putting off scrapping my dd's photos from her softball season this year. Probably because I only took over 1,400 pics this season, LOL! So it seems overwhelming to me right now.
Totally love the clear albums!

Love the clear scraps albums! I've been putting off my wedding album. It's been almost two years now, and I don't even have our engagement scrapped. My DH keeps asking me about it, and says "Why do you do all those other projects and not our wedding album?". He keeps joking that at some point I'm not going to be able to buy any more supplies until I start on the wedding album....

I started an 8x8 album for my DH of his bike racing season...uhmm...several years ago. I've got everything I need all in one spot, I just need to sit down and finish it.

I have been putting off doing an album of all my dad's old Navy pictures. He has pictures of the 20 years he served. It's been put off because I feel it is too big a project too handle. I don't know where to start. I just got your latest book on mini albums. Though I don't think I could make a mini album (the pictures are way too big and too many), I will apply the same concept to a bigger size album. I'll just use a simple design and focus on the photos and words/stories I want to tell. Thanks for the inspiration!

I've been putting off completing my Mexico travel album that I put together ala "Ali" style before the trip. Procrastination...that's why!

I have definitely been putting off my wedding and honeymoon album. I really want to document my wedding 'right' but I think I would have more FUN with my honeymoon photos! So I haven't been doing either. I don't know if I want to do them digital or traditional or some combination. There is a lot of planning to do.

I've been wanting to do a mini-album on my struggle with a medical condition. It affected my life for 3 1/2 years due to not being able to find a doctor that was willing and able to help. I don't have too many pictures, it would be more journaling than anything, and I think that's why I'm putting it off. If I don't get to it soon, I'm not going to accurately be able to journal it much longer. Because of a surgery in February, I've finally been able to move forward and get on with my life. But it's something I definitely want to do & think about often.

I have been putting off putting together my baby's first year album. I bought and downloaded an online class featuring the easiest possible baby's first year album, but I seem to hit a mental roadblock everytime I pull out the supplies and my "class" worksheets. I have been doing individual pages, but not the concise, flowing book I really want to do. Just thinking about it now is triggering a migraine:)

I have been putting of my family vacation album. Me, my dad, and my 4 siblings had our first vacation all together this summer since we were little, about 30 years! I have about 400 photo's and it was the best time ever! I want to make one for each of us, so I think that is why I am putting it off.

I have been putting off completing my wedding and honeymoon albums. They are fun happy pictures, but embarassingly enough, I was married nine years ago, and uh, I kind of keep pushing those aside to work on more current pictures. ;-)

I have been putting off scrapping our mini-vacations this year.
This time of year is hard to get things done - everyone is readjusting to the school, soccer, scouting, homework schedules!
Thanks!!

I have been taking pictures of everything around my house, at the twins therapists, at grandparents, you name it...I need to put together a "picture communication" booklet for my 2 1/2 yr old autistic identical twin sons. They do not speak at all yet and they use pictures to communicate what they need or want. I have put off actually putting the book together, I think mostly because it saddens me sometimes that I have not gotten to hear them say "I love you, mommy" yet. I know they will someday. I pray everyday for that moment to come...soon.

I had been putting off my Vegas minibook...but I got your cocoa daisy travel kit and checked that project off my list. Now I have my Christmas gifts to make. I have all the pics ready, supplies are lined up, but I have to get the motivation to sit down and work on them. I do this every year...get everything ready early and then I think..."Christmas is so far away, I can put this off for a little longer." Then, the week before Christmas I am working at a frantic pace to get everything done (cause you know store bought is just not the same :)) I am hoping to get some of the work done today!!! Thanks!
