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 2 projects I've been putting off. One is my oldest daughter's school album - and she graduates this year, yikes! The other is a "summer is..." album that I want to use to focus on the highlights of our family's 2008 summer. A clear album would be cool to try with the summer project!

I've been putting off making albums for my grandchildren for Christmas. I just need to pick up the first one and get started but haven't done so as of yet. Maybe this will get me started.

I've been putting it ALL off for months now. I got married three and a half weeks ago. I put off quite a few things in lieu of all the wedding craziness.

Hi Ali, My goal this year was to catch up on some of the pics from when I was a child/growing up. I find that a lot of the supplies/colors don't go - just having a mental block & have put to the side for awhile. Would love the clear books, have never used one before!

The project that I have been putting off is creating more layouts about myself. I think it's important for there to be at least a few layouts that include a picture of me in my family's scrapbook but as a single parent it's hard to get those shots.

I have been putting off scrapping zoo pictures. There are so many that I'm quite overwhelmed. I don't want an entire book of zoo pictures yet there are tons of great photos of just trips to the zoo. I still haven't decided what I'll do with all of them!

In general summer time is a very slow scrap time for me. Our house is not air conditioned and the room that I scrap in gets soooo hot that if I even sit down to do anything, I only last a short while before I feel like I'm melting. The most recent page I worked on was completed in spurts during cool periods, but then I got stuck because I didn't have the right color letters for my title and I'm trying to use my stash rather then buy more. Needless to say, the weather has cooled and I broke down and bought the letters!

I want to do a layout of the first time my son said Mommy.With his speech delay it wasn't until he was 4. I remember this moment so perfectly in my mind I think I am afraid of not doing it justice.

I have been putting off finishing my youngest son's high school album. Ummm, he graduated in 2004. He will finish college next year and I haven't even started that album yet. I have come to realize that I have a very difficult time admitting that he is a grown boy. Even though I'm so happy for him and very proud of him, I still miss tremendously that little fellow clinging to me and needing me.

Love these albums! I've been putting off finishing an album from our trip to Europe last summer...started it with lots of enthusiasm, then it got to be not-so-fun and I've put it aside for other projects. If I win I'll put it back on the top of my "to do" list!

No Clue why, but I'm putting off my kids school albums. I have a good start, but have a hard time eliminating some of things I don't need!

My first son's album...he's four and a half and I've gotten the first three months of his life scrapbooked! I'm just a wee bit behind! LOL! Why? A complete lack of time! Now that we have two children it's hard to find the time to sit down and get to work, especially with other design team commitments. But I'm committed to finishing it, no matter how long it takes! :-) Thanks to blogs like yours, I have been finishing mini albums of special events and have been using them as little bits of decorations on tables throughout the house - love them!

These are some gorgeous albums!!! I have been putting off doing layouts for the OLW challenges. I am doing them all about me and I want to make them meaningful so I've been putting them off until I have the time to think about them thoroughly. Probably would be better off just doing the.

We recently relocated from IA to TX and I really need to scrap those move pictures, final days in IA and such. I am a bit anxious about doing this because I don't want to get sentimental and homesick. Soon I will be ready.

I've been putting off adding pages in my son's album. Lately I just haven't had the energy to sit down and concentrate on it, so I've just been trying to document things on paper. Hopefully it will all start coming back to me when I set down to put it all together :)

hi Ali,
I've been ptting off a layout about our struggles with fertility...8 long years hoping for a family & I know i should document it somehow as it has been a huge part of our lives. We'll know in 3 weeks if this latest procedure will work...if we have good news, maybe ths will spur me on. thanks!

I have been putting off a photo album about my husband's family ranch. His father had hundreds of slides from over the years, and I went through and had them all converted to photos. I even have the albums and many embellishments. I want to do two albums with them; one for my father-in-law and one for my husband, but I just can't seem to pull it all out and work on it. I guess there are always newer pictures that I know more about. Hopefully, now that I've admitted this I will get some work done on them!
