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).

My word is RENEWAL-physical, spiritual and in my relationships. I am signing up for an exercise class and setting a time limit on surfing the internet.

My word is HAPPY. This year I'm going to try doing more things that make me happy. Make yummy meals, get organized, stay crafty...maybe even find that guy I've been searching for.

Still deciding on my word...but I do want to focus on me this year (better health, relationships, etc.)

My word of the year is ENJOY, I wanna live more in the moment and enjoy even the smallest things in life- and one step to get there is to cut down on computer and tv time and spend more time with my loved ones.

My word is REAL. My goal this year is to be real: genuine, sincere, honest. To be who I'm created and called to be, the way God sees me, and not to project someone I want others to see. To be okay with that 'real' me.

My word for this year is change. Change in my career, change in my weight, change in my attitude. Change is something I normally have a hard time accepting, but this year I'm embracing it!! Thanks for the giveaway Ali!!

Totally forgot to add my word to my post. Story - I am doing project 365 to help tell my stories. Hopefully I won't rush through my days if I am present, aware and photographing everyday.

Hi, Ali! I have already begun exercising and making better lifestyle choices in support of my resolution. Also, I am focusing more on scrapbooking and telling our family story this year, making time to document better. I love to do this and look at it as a reward for AFTER I get my work done. This year, I want to make it a priority.

AWESOME giveaway! I would love some SC stuff, but will be happy with anything you toss my way. :) This year, I resolve to spend less time stalking scrap blogs, and more time SCRAPPING!

My word is "Document" -- and my plan is to document with pictures and words our lives this year. I am going to attempt a picture-a-day project again -- last year I made it to May -- with an emphasis on capturing pictures that tell a story of the day. I still want to take *great* pictures, but I find that those tend to come in bursts and I'm going to let it happen that way.

I've chosen discipline. I've never been a disciplined person so I'm trying to demonstrate my commitment to discipline by blogging and doing a photo365 project. I'm so excited to engage in a creative activity all year.

My word for the year is "do". I have so many things that I plan to do and past couple of years, none of them have been acomplished. This year I have a "to-do" list for my house and my craft, and I plan to accomplish one item a month. Not really a lofty goal, but maybe one I can reach.

My word for 2010 is Fancy. In the context of this definition....suggests an imagining often unrestrained by reality but spurred by desires. In the sense of the power of conceiving and giving artistic form to that which is not existent, known, or experienced.
I'm tired of only dreaming for my life in the context of what I think can actually become a reality. It's time I start to fancy a new life for myself. :)

My word is US. I married my high school sweetheart this past Oct. We're 41 and 42. Goes to prove it's never too late to have a happy ending. I knew we were meant to be when I was only 15. We make a point of spending as much time together as possible on a daily basis.

I am a perfectionist to the core and so I have chosen the word VULNERABLE. I am going to abandon my need to finish the perfect page. And yes, this makes me feel incredibly vulnerable. I have been acquainting myself with vulnerability in the last couple of months. It has been my willingness to feel vulnerable that has led to healing and growth in some of my personal struggles. I am looking forward to this year of personal discovery.

My word is STEADFAST. We are paying off our bills and so many times I want to get off track but I am focused and need to keep thinking of the starting line to true freedom from debt.
