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 for the year is ACTIVE, so in order to remind myself each day that is what I'm doing, I journal every day about what I did to be active. But, it doesn't stop there. As an assignment for my students, they have been challenged to choose a word for themselves or as a family. On Friday we will be using Wordle to compile all of our words into a word cloud. I can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks Ali for the great give-aways. I haven't decided my word yet. I want to focus on being in the moment and giving my whole attention to the present moment. Thanks for the chance to win.

Ali, my word is patience.
I am slowing down with my life and being with myself, my children and my husband. Enjoying everyday life.
Treasuring each moment for what it is a laugh, smile, and even a meltdown.

thanks for the chance to win some great prizes.
My word is RELAX. I chose that because it can be applied in so many ways to our stressful lives. (ex: don't sweat the small stuff, enjoy playing together as a family, take care of myself, take the moments in the day to just pause for a second)

I haven't decided for sure on my word, but the word "connect" is at the top of the list. I want to be connected to the people, places and things that are right in front of me and not be in my head, a million miles away. I have 2 small children and in the blink of an eye they will be grown and I will be desperate for a connection to them. My husband and I need to make sure that we prioritize a time to connect with each other and I need to connect to the creative, healthy person inside of me as well. How will I start? Wellll, scheduling date nights with my husband, sitting down to play games with my children when they ask and scheduling time for me at the gym. Hhhhmmm, it sounds like maybe I've decided on my word. Thanks, Ali!

I'm still deciding on my one word for the new year...
I'm leaning towards CREATE or FULFILL. My first action will be to create an inspiration card to put up on my bulletin board, and three mini versions for the bathroom mirror, the front door key organizer, & my planner. I'd love to get one of the washer necklaces or the overlay kit would be awesome to keep me going on the Project 365. Thank you for the inspiration you share through your work and blog--happy new year!!

I don't have a word for the year, but I have decided to make a commitment to learn how to use PSE 8 this year. I really want to become a better photographer. It also fits with my desire to begin to document the stories and photos of my two little boys.

my word is "simplify." with working full time, being blessed to be a mother and wife, as well as having wonderful friendships to maintain, life just feels very overwhelming right now. i have been really inspired by reading amanda blake soule's blog and am looking to make some changes to be less busy and more focused on what is really important: my family and friendships.
