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 "magic" I'm going to focus on the magic in everyday. In the little moments life gives us and let the stressful moments that make us lose track of the wonderful little things go.

My Word for the year is REMEMBER. i am going to take time, each day to REMEMBER(document) something special from that day. I may have to stretch a little on some days through out the year but I think it will really make me REMEMBER to be thankful for all that I have & enjoy in my life. I hope your 2010 is a year to REMEMBER.

My word of the year is Cherish. As a stay at home mom of an 8 month old, I am finding that it is easy to get wrapped up in the daily maintenance of a baby and a household. I want to become more conscious about taking time to cherish all of the precious moments that seem to be passing too quickly.

My word is INTENTION. I want everything I do to be with intention, to have a purpose. So, I started New Year's Day by establishing a list of achievable goals for the year which I have posted on my bulletin board.

My one little word is balance. Not a new years' resolution but a life resolution, to continue finding balance between all the things I love: family, faith, friends, food, school, work, exercise, rest, contemplation, prayer. I look forward to being intentional about how I spend each day - some will be quiet and contemplative, some will be active and people oriented, some will be the "have to get done" and some will be the "want to get done". It feels far less overwhelming to know that if I do a little bit each day, I will find my balanced life!

My word for 2010 is simply HAPPY. Due to a few uncontrollable circumstances, I was not very happy in 2009. I really want to work hard to change that and find happiness every day.

Ali, my word this year is journey. I am embarking on a new chapter in my life and firmly believe "the journey is the reward." Your posts have prompted me to really take this word seriously and focus on it in the coming year. Thanks.

I haven't quite narrowed down my word yet. I like "do it". I know it is not one word, but it is the goal for this year, to just "do it" and get it done.

My little word is balance. To find balance in all that I love in life: family, faith, friends, food, school, work, exercise, rest, contemplation, creativity, volunteer work, prayer. This is my life resolution to be more intentional about how I spend my time each day and little by little as I choose to do a few different things each day from my "have to", "want to", love to" lists - I will achieve a balanced life.

my word is simplify- i feel like i need to declutter. going through kids toys & clothes, my clothes ect. it seems like such a simple thing but it is something that i put off, thinking "i may use that someday or I may wear that someday" when in all actuality i never do. So goodwill is going to love me :)

One of my resolutions is to try and get healthier... for real... with set goals and milestones. So I've been to the store to get healthy food choices, set a tivo season pass for The Biggest Loser (for inspiration!) and started a workout program to help get in shape and get better control over the arthritis in my knees. Now I just have to keep it up!

My word is discipline. I need to have more limits in 2010. But, actually I haven't taken any action yet...which is not a very good sign...
