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.

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).

Happy New Year!

My resolution for this year is to enjoy life--every moment, every challenge, every detail. Life is so short and we don't appreciate all the beauty and blessings that surround us.

My word for the year is "create". I have set different goals for myself to create more things throughout the year rather than just collecting ideas I never get around to making.

My word for this year is "ENJOY"
I need to remember to take it slow even though everything seems to be going at 100 mph I need to ENJOY every bit of what life has to offer- my kids, my husband, my parents, my students, my career.

My word for this year is PURPOSE. One action I am taking to maintain my focus on this word is introducing the "One Little Word" concept to my classes (I teach English to juniors and seniors, so it is a very appropriate concept for my classes) and sharing my word with them. I will be challenging them to choose their own words, and I will also encourage them to share their words with the class and to help each other (including me) out with keeping focus on those words.

My word for the year is EMBRACE. I have many ideas on how I want to use this word, but I think the thing I want to do most is embrace the stories of myself, my hubby, my son and my daughter, both individually and their respective roles in our family.
Thanks for the chance to win. These are all amazing prizes!!!

I've mulled this over, and I think my word will be RENEW. Myself, relationships, motivation, good habits. 2009 I felt like I lost my mojo, my ambition, my motivation. Gotta get it back baby!!

This year I want to do a few things for myself - I want to be more purposeful in my actions - whether that is eating, going to the gym, finding time to craft or write. I also want to continue my studies with a group of dear friends. These things too easily slip to the bottom of the priority list when I let them. Happy New Year!

My word is peace this year. I need some peace in my life and a little less hectic. One little thing I'm doing is Sunday night sandwich nights for dinner. We'll have sandwiches and whatever leftovers are in the fridge. It's silly, but it's one less meal to think about and will help me relax a little the night before our week begins again.

My word is 'Blessed' - sometimes everyone needs a shoulder to lean on in this very changing and dangerous world, be it a family member or just a friend.

my word for 2010 will be... THANKFUL. I lost my job near the end of '09 due to the store where I worked closing and at first I was in a panic. Being a single mom with 3 growing boys to feed and now no income, I wondered how on earth we would make it. But when I started looking at things in a new way I realized how very much I still have to be thankful for... unemployment benefits (they may not be much but I'm thankful there's at least something coming in while I try to find another job), 3 healthy kids, a roof over our heads, food in the fridge and pantry and a circle of family and friends that love us. So every day I will remind myself that even though times are tough, there is still so much to be THANKFUL for.

My one word for 2010 is Clarity. I am going to "clean house" so to speak and focus on the things that make me the happiest.
