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 starting what will be my first acrylic album. I have an 8x8 just sitting in my "unfinished projects" drawer, and I am afraid that mine won't look as good as your Easter album, for example. I think it's the whole stress factor of having to put something on the other side when doing acrylic!

Hi there, I have putting off my son's Japanese trip from last year. Everytime I think of a theme, colours and style then I get scared that it will look outdated in a few years time. I want it to look fantastic. I should remember to just "tell the story" but it is scary taking that first step.

I've been putting off doing my daughter's school album and my other daughter's baby album. I've been more inspired to do mini albums. I think it is from someone who shares the same first initial that I do. :)
By the way, are you planning to move to more closed storage now that you bought the lockers? It is my most recent debate. Do I switch to closed storage because it is cleaner looking or do I keep with open storage since I am reminded of all the wonderful supplies I have and can use.

Well, my son is 11 months old and I still haven't made an album about my pregnancy and his birth. Maybe this would inspire me to do so!

I've been putting off my son's 1st year album - I always do the first year separate in a small album, and he's two already!

I have been putting off a project for our upcoming anniversary- we have been married 10 years and I haven't done any of our wedding photos either. We were married on Halloween- and I have the coolest tombstone shaped canvas trio to use, I just can't make myself do it! Maybe with all the cool Halloween stuff out this year I can get motivated!

I've been putting off my honeymoon album. I guess I keep thinking it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip so I should have a spectacular album to showcase all the fun we had. I've finally told myself I just need to sit down and put it together. If it doesn't turn out that great, I can always put something else together in the future - it's so easy to reprint photos so it's no big deal, right? Plus, I keep thinking back to this really cute mini-album I made for a trip we took to San Francisco. I didn't stress over it - just put stuff together and the end result was great. We still love looking at it!

I bought an old window and am going to do "Old Time Christmas" with photos of me and Santa and my son and Santa. Bought 2 windows, did the first and is hanging in my hallway with modern day photos - 6 panes, each done as a layout. Have been putting off the Christmas one to do in about a month so that I can hang it this Christmas - 2008.

I love all of the albums. I've been wanting to do a clear album, but haven't gotten to it yet.
I've been putting off scrapping photos from last Christmas because that was the last one with my mom & she died less than a month later. I keep looking at the photos, but I don't know how I want to scrap it & what I want to say.
Thanks for listening, Ali.

I have to do a 2 page layout containing at least 6 photos of me and my family and because it is an assignment, I don't want to do it. I can't decide how I want the page to look. How to embellish it. How many photos. I hate scrapping when I "have" to, I love it when I "want" to.

I have been putting off all my Christmas photos from two years ago. We took a 10 day trip home to New Zealand and I have so many great photos that I just don't know where to start and how to do them the justice they deserve.

My wedding album. Every time I sit down to create it, I change my mind in how it should look.

I've been putting off doing photos I love, but that are from a painful time to remember. I'm torn between the pictures and the memories, so they just sit there.

Need to work on my childhood album. Don't know where to start. It's a bit overwhelming since it's a lot of pieces here and there accumulating for the past 35 yrs. Time... just need the time to sort through it all.
