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 of the year is mission. I have a notebook that I make my daily to-do lists in (as well as other notes). At the top of the pages, I have written 'mission'. Also, I am working on writing a mission statement.

I'm still narrowing down my list of words. It's between -heal- -breathe- and -become- Which ever word is chosen, I know that I will be taking steps toward letting anger and guilt go, and hopefully finding/reconnecting with the road of happiness I was once on. . .before my son passed away.

I haven't decided if I'm going to have a word this year, but I am going to do my best to keep my priorities in check, even when work gets busy...what is more important?...work or family? No question...but my actions need to reflect my beliefs. :)

My one little word for 2010 is PLACE. This year I am going to find a place for all the stuff that gets piled up in my household of seven. I'm going to go through the nooks and crannies and throw away or donate things we don't use anymore. I'm going to create a place in the garage for at least one car! Hopefully I can make it a process that results in a PLACE of comfort and health for my family...Thanks for the awesome giveaways, Ali!

I know typically the word is something to slow down and enjoy life, but my word this year is, EFFORT. I was going to use "try" but didn't like the sound, so my husband suggested effort. No, it isn't his word!
I chose this word because the last year was really tough and I became shy about trying a lot of things in order to protect myself. But, that is no way to live. So, onward I go!! EFFORT that is my word.

Space - need more of it. Cleaning out, organising and sorting - that's just to get me started.

My word is LISTEN, and one action I will be taking is to purposefully slow down and pay attention to others and myself.

It's kind of crazy, as I've never done this before, but I'm making 4 altered canvases that spell out HOPE to hang above our front door. I figure that daily reminder every time I leave or come home should be a great way to live my word!

My word for 2010 is FAITH. There is just so much going on in my lift that I need to recognize that I have absolutely NO control over so I need to have FAITH in God's plan for me and my family. As I recall the times in my past that I drew upon my FAITH things turned out better than I could have imagined. So I need to focus on my FAITH again.

I did Project 365 last year (with very few voids to fill in) and am pretty pleased with the results. But I want to go back to a little more scrapbooking. It looks like this kit allows that. Real excited about that!
