Sponsor Giveaways : Studio Calico, Memory Works, Lisa Leonard, & Designer Digitals

Three people will win the entire Home Front collection (papers, stickets, journaling cards, and FabRips) from Studio Calico.
The concept of Studio Calico began long before it was a reality. In 2000, while working at a local scrapbook store, April developed an appreciation for innovative supplies along with a respect for preserving memories. Thus, the concept of combining fresh products with non-traditional scrapbook supplies emerged.
At Studio Calico, we hope to encourage the creative process by providing the best supplies on the market as well as a community that is supportive every step of the way.
In the past 2 years we've grown from an idea, to a small boutique of sorts, to manufacturing our own products. As we've grown, we've stayed true to the basics, while looking to the future.

Three people will receive the lovely Word Of The Year necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs.
In addition Lisa is offering a discount for readers. Enter "myword15" for 15% off your purchase.
Here's a bit about Lisa and her business:

One person will receive the Life Documented kit from the new Simple Stories collection by MemoryWorks.
Your photos and memories are far too important to keep in a box, store on a computer or bury in a pile. We know life is busy and at times it feels nearly impossible to keep up with all of life's demands - yet alone find time for the things you enjoy like your scrapbook hobby and preserving your memories.
If you're overwhelmed with too many photos...
If you're feeling guilty for not being "caught up"...
If you're overloaded with creative pressure and unrealistic expectations...
If you're stressed because you don't have enough time to scrapbook...
If you don't know where to start...or worried if you can even keep up...
If you're frustrated with the process of traditional scrapbooking...
If you're looking for a better way...
Then you will love our simple and refreshing approach to scrapbooking!
MemoryWorks is beyond thrilled to introduce the new, exclusive Simple Stories scrapbook system. You can view our video here. Our innovative system was designed for scrapbookers of all levels who want to share their life stories and memories in a simple, yet meaningful, way - but without the time, guilt or stress of traditional scrapbooking.
Life Documented, the first collection in our Simple Stories series, is all about documenting a year in your life like never before. Our Life Documented kit allows you to share your story in a whole new way, while getting back to the basics of what scrapbooking is all about...your photos and memories. We've done all the work for you with our exclusive Simple Stories system - with beautiful pre-designed elements that you simply trim, add your journaling and then insert into pockets - along with your 4x6 photos - for quick and easy scrapbooking. No cropping. No adhesive. No stress. It's as easy as that - sharing your photos and memories has never been easier!
In addition to the giveaway here, we're giving away a FREE Simple Stories Life Documented kit, with coordinating divided page protectors and embellishments, a retail value well over $35. Visit www.mysimplestories.com for more details.

Three people will receive my new 365 Photo Overlay kit from Designer Digitals.
This digital package includes 365 overlays, one for each day of the year. Designed to fit right on top of a 4x6 photo, these overlays also work really well as journal cards. Perfect for a 365 or week in the life project. In addition, all brushes and overlays on are sale this weekend at Designer Digitals (through Tuesday morning at 6am Eastern).
To be entered into this weekend's giveaways please leave a comment below letting me know one action you are taking in relation to your word of the year or your own personal resolution/tradition. Comments will be closed on Sunday evening at 8pm Pacific with the winners posted shortly after.
Happy New Year!

My word is simple. I always aim to do/make things simple...but things always tend to end complicated, uncomplete or harder then ever needed to be. Just trying to catch up on my daughter's scrapbooks is tough, I have "grand" ideas, but because I'm always lacking a piece to my minds masterpiece, I don't do anything! Sooo I will try "simple" and know thats okay too and with that in mind things will get done!!

My word for the year is ORGANIZE. At one time, I was organized so that I could find things. Then children and life happened. I'd like to take this year and organize my life.

Amazing giveaways yet again....I guess my "resolution" is to put myself first once in awhile. I'm always so busy with my boys-getting them ready for school (driving them and picking them up), taking them to various sports.....I want to set aside time for myself and concentrate on eating better and actually exercising to hopefully result in more energy and just feeling better about myself in general...

My word for this year is FOCUS and I will be making a layout/some sort of visual reminder to hang up in my home to remind me of this. I have a camera stamp from Studio Calico that will emphasize the literal meaning of focus, although my meaning is more figurative. Awesome giveaways as usual!!!!

2010 word is FAMILY. This year we will welcome our 2nd child and all the adjustments that go with it. But mostly this motto will help me to feel less guilty about saying "no" to outside projects, no matter how worthy, and refocus on the core of my life.

This is the 3rd year I have done "one little word." My word this year is health - mental, physical, spiritual, etc. Holitic health. So far I have a list of medical appts that I need to make and this week I am working on starting a healthier sleep pattern.

I didn't do a word for the year, but I feel strongly God is showing me to keep my priorities straight this year. I believe He wants me to focus my efforts and energy into my children, His precious gift to me. And, not to be too busy to just sit and enjoy them or read to them or play a simple game. Those things are truly the treasure, not anything money can buy!
