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).
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!

This is the first year in many that I have set goals. Some are to get fit, read more, and strive to be a better wife and mother.

My word is FOCUS. I spent several hours yeaterday cleaning my studio, re-organizing left-overs from my last project and disgarding all the empty containers, etc., I had saved for possible future use - a huge overflowing file drawer of way more "stuff" than I will ever use. Although I still have some excess to go through and discard I feel a step closer to being able to FOCUS on my goals for 2010.

My word is "intention." I hope to live mindfully rather than randomly. I turned 50 this year and realized that more than ever,I need to intentionally be mindful of the moments speeding by.

I chose connect as my word, and I am going to try and connect more with my family on a daily basis. Sometimes when I get overwhelmed with life I become very quiet and don't talk to anyone. I am going to work on opening up and connecting with family and friends.

My word is CHANGE. And nothing makes that word more real to me than my husband being laid off from work this past Monday. For the first time, when something like this has happened to our family, I haven't freaked out. I realize that CHANGE happens for a reason. Daily, things are changing and as unsettling as they are, nothing can grow or improve without CHANGE. I accept you CHANGE. Welcome!

My word is Present and I've already started my action plan - making a weekly list so I can be present instead of thinking about what needs done next! Great giveaways and hopefully this year winner will be one of my words.

My word is COURAGE! We just found out that my mom has a horrible cancer and will not be with us much longer. It has been such a hard thing and I feel that this is what I need in order to help her through this as well as the rest of our family. I love the necklace and appreciate you so much! Lori C.
