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).

My word is TEND, as in tending to myself and my family more and tending toward new ideas. I will be cooking more and playing more and yoga everyday!

As I stated before I selected "restore" for my word for 2010. I woke up New Years Day with a clean slate and looking head on to the year. I'm confident that my word will be used each and every day. I'm so excited for this change and eager to wake up each morning to restore all that has been lost. This is a huge thing for me and I've never been more at peace.

To help me remember the power of my word, CHOICE, I've made a little word sign that I see everyday which reminds me to "choose wisely". Everything is a choice, and my responsibility is to always use wisdom in my choices.

My action of the year is "live in the moment" I resolve to not let my cares lead my mind into the past or the future but instead take each day as it comes and deal with each issue in the moment.

Happy New Year, Ali! Thanks for the "one little word" inspiration and the opportunity to win! My word for the year is KINDNESS. I'm going to start memorizing Colossians 2:12-14 AND finding ways to use the word and the verses through my home - as reminders. :)

I don't have a word, but my resolution is to scrapbook more. Last year I did hardly any due to a hard pregnancy, so this year I vow to get more done! :)

My word is renew.
I have already started cleaning and decluttering so I can start renewing myself and all my habitual processes that aren't working any more.
Thanks for a chance to win!

My word for this year is devotion. I plan to hopefully keep a journal to help me stay devoted to things that matter most this year.

I'm really looking forward to clearing the clutter in 2010 ... my word, SIMPLIFY. (Yikes, did I just commit to it?!?)

My word is INTENTION. I want my everyday life to reflect the intentions I have. If I catch myself doing, saying, or thinking something that does not reflect the intended way I want to live my life, I stop it immediately. It worked like a charm yesterday. One day down, 364 more to go!

My word is "commit" and I have made an action plan for the five areas of my life I am working to improve. Checklists keep me accountable and keep it in the front of my mind each day. Happy New Year, Ali!

I don't have a word for the year. I do have goals, more reading,being more active, completing projects that are sitting on my table as well as starting new. Hmmm... maybe my word should be MORE. More of everything :)

My word for 2010 is 'me'. You might ask why, 'cause it's such a selfish word.
It's not meant to be selfish, but after a bad break-up just before the holidays, I need to focus on me.
I need to make sure I am doing okay.
So, I'm going to work out, eat better and especially enjoy and focus on all the things that make me happy.

I'm keeping my 2009 word for 2010:FINISH. I still seem to have a problem starting projects but not finishing them. I am going to master the "finish" this year!

My word is FOCUS . . . the idea is to do less, but whatever it is that I do, do it well and with intention. Focus on parenting, marriage and work . . . that will be plenty! So, today I will be intentional when my kids talk with me - I'll look in their eyes and listen with ears, eyes and heart!

My word is "blessed". After having our third daughter in April, I have been feeling overwhelmingly blessed! I am resolving to take the time to count my blessings and appreciate them rather than take them for granted and let them fall by the wayside. I have so many blessings in my life and this year I want to appreciate, and document, them!
