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).

I love this word of the year idea. I have been spreading the word and have inspired at least 5 other people to choose a word this year. I have always struggled with the idea of a New Year's resolution because they tend to focus in a negative way that do not inspire personal growth. Choosing a word and exploring it and growing is much more fitting for beginning a New Year. I just love it. I have struggle with choosing my word. I have two words that want to choose me right now. Wellness and Story. I have finally decided on Story. It is so much about where I am right now and what I have been exploring for the last several months. Plus wellness is part of my story. The cool thing about Story is that there are many chapters in my outline, but how cool to actually identify, develop, tell, live!

I love your blog and I check it everyday to be inspired by your creative ideas. My word for this year is ACCOMPLISH or GRACIOUS. I cannot seem to decide which is the right word for me. I seem to start more projects than I finish and I have great ideas, but then halfway through, I fizzle out. So I plan to work on that aspect of my life. I would also like to be more gracious about my life and those people who share this life with me. I take people, especially my family and friends, for granted everyday. I would like to spend more time this year letting them know just how important they are to me.

My words are EMERGE and BLOOM. I went through a very painful divorce and have been licking my wounds for a while. It is time for me to shine again. To pick myself back up, dust myself off, polish myself up at get back to my life.

My word of the year is moment. I'm trying to enjoy as many as I can! I'm trying to take a picture a day for each day this year and see if I can capture the little moments of our lives, not just the big events. We'll see how it goes!

I've chosen to focus on TIME this year, meaning recording, saving and not wasting it, etc. My action is to maximize the time I spend with my family and cut out the unnecessary time wasting that I fall victim to so frequently.

My word is "live" which may seem simple enough but with all my family has been through this last year and half it felt more like all we were doing was surviving and somewhere we forgot to "live" so each morning as soon as I wake up and as I am taking my medications I am saying the word and trying to be very aware of it. Thank you for the chance to win such awesome products!
