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 chose Glee as my word and one way I am going to put it into action is to scrap more this year :)

My word is GROWTH. When I hung our family photos on the main wall of the house last year, an offset family photo flanked by a school photo of each boy, I realized there is a blank space underneath that needs something. Haven't figured out what, until you mentioned the one word for 2010. I will be making a piece of framed art that says GROWTH to hang in the blank space, perfect for our family in 2010 and beyond.

My word is peace. My life always seems so crazy and hectic and I never feel satisfied so I am striving to be at peace with my life and just slow down and be happy. To help with that I am going to try scheduling things in like workouts, me time, and time with my family.

After much much thought I have chosen my word for the year, "Faith". I need to have more faith in God and trust him more to know what is right for me.

TODAY...I will live the best life I can, love as much as my heart will allow and laugh until my cheeks hurt. One way is just telling myself that tomorrow is promised to no one, so I must make today count.

Strength-- that is my word for the year. Strength to stand up for myself more, to work harder at being a mom and a wife, and to remind myself that no matter what comes my way, I will persevere...
Thanks and Happy New Year, Ali!

My word is quality. More quality in choice of food, time spend with family, living, money spend etc. Not quantity, but quality instead.

My word for 2010 is ACHIEVE. I seem to spend a lot of time thinking about the things I have to do or want to do and then more often than not, not actually achieving them. This year my youngest son (4 years old) will go to school full-time as from Jan 5th. I plan to make the most of this extra alone time to get things done, to achieve my goals both big and small.

My word is enjoy. We just moved to a new part of the country and I have been trying so hard to help my boys find friends and happiness in this new town, that I have kind of lost the fun in my life...too focused on trying to help everyone else. I am hoping to take more pictures so I have a visual of all the fun things that we do and then I want to scrapbook...that is fun and some time just for me!

My word for 2010 is FOCUS. I am too easily distracted by tv and by the computer. I need to focus on doing my job better and focus more on my family. My son will be leaving for college in just a couple of years and I want to make the most of our time together.

I'm working on my blogpost right now! I'm going with peace for my word this year. A continuation of my word from last year (which was calm). I'm hoping to choose a Scripture verse (that has peace in it) for each month to help me be more peaceful in mind, heart and soul! I may order one of Stephanie Ackerman's journals to keep track of my scripture verses, too!
thanks ali! this is my 3rd year with a word of the year!
